OHHHHHhhhhh MAN!!! I put it away when I bought my A500. I’d been wanting to try it for a while but I feared it didn't work. Today is the day. It works exactly like it worked when I stored it almost 40 years ago.

The only thing which don't work in this awesome MSX Canon V-20 is the T key but I'm still super happy with it. I'll try to fix it at a later date.

In which All the Adventures finally embarks on The Hobbit (1982)

I clear up a great deal of history that has been muddled over the years

and get lost in the game fairly early.

I only learned about the Bee Pack for MSX like a couple months ago, so naturally I needed it

Games look like HuCards for PC Engine/TurboGrafx, but they go into a cartridge pack for the MSX!

And the baseball game I got with it is pretty fun too!

Only 6 days to go until #MaySiXth, worldwide known as MSX-DAY! Everyone will post the best picture of their current #MSX setup so get cleaning, set-up the lighting, look for the perfect angle and make it a shot to be remembered!

This year there will be a free game too!

Doomlings; a new game for MSX
https://www.msxdev.org/2025/02/03/msxdev24-31-doomlings/
In Doomlings, your goal is to get a specific number of the mindless creatures killed, but where Lemmings will mindlessly walk into all sort of dangers, Doomlings will try to survive and reach the exit… because it would have been too easy otherwise.

Just when I started a new project, these came in... Ordered from @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social in November and had them shipped to a local address in HK (because of shipping and taxes). Last week a relative finally visited there and could bring them back for me. #retrogaming #gameboy #msx #c64

An #MSX Toshiba HX-20I at the #fleamarket today.
It's in decent shape, except for a controller port with most pins missing.
It uses a T6950 for VDP, which, if I remember correctly, is not great for compatibility and does not allow for RGB output.
I wonder if there is some kind of adapter to use a TMS99x8.

I calculated all the contrast ratios of #MSX color combinations and put them on a table... so very few of them are good, which explains why I almost always go for black backgrounds in my games.

I had no idea. I knew an "Alien" game was in development for a while, but I didn't know it was *this one*.

I'm even in the credits

I've always been a fan of z80-based releases of Gauntlet. However, both the original collection of mazes and those in the "Deeper Dungeons" add-on were a bit limited (most dungeons were duplicate of others).

Now I've created a tool that allows adding your own mazes and creating a new collection that can be loaded from the original game.
