Alex said it: Punchy

(Reads the back of the cover at V&D in 1985). OOooh ! Nice game!!! What a great story! ^_^

uh uh, you are NOT taller than me Mr. i-don't-smoke-weed-anymore

I'm the tallest MSX-er by far. I'm 2.47 and growing. Beat that!

I can confirm that Alex Ganzeveld's head would hit the ceiling if he were to stand up straight in my house. ^_^

2.47 feet perhaps almost 2 1/2 meters and still growing? your heart'll stop pounding a few centimeters from now.

Actually my ceiling is just very low. Not 'Being John Malkovich'-low, but it still is on the low side

2.47m .. I made a snowman that tall, while there was still snow ^_^ ..


..but recently it began to sweat and tumbled-down.. ._.

Pyramid Warp by T&E Soft

this is a bit late, but I like Pyramid Warp too!!

But maybe I am masochist and I LIKE TO PUNISH MYSELF as I LIKE to play pyramid warp! btw.. if you make hero and baddies colourful, then it´s REALLY GOOD GAME, it just has too few colours!

I'd also nominate most spectrum ports. Even when we first had MSX we thought they were ugly/bad/didn't like ém and pitfall2. 'cause the music made me depressive

How can jolly Pitfall 2 tune make anyone depressive????!
in the 80s I only played that game on commodore 64 which had great graphics and especially THAT theme tune.... it was hypnotic tune, as it hummed and hummed and hummed... I kept humming that tune in my mind for YEARS! And always I kept wondering about how Pitfall 2 may look on MSX and feared that that tune could be horrible rendition of c64s theme or then theres no tune at all... like in many msx conversions... boohoo... but in emulator age I saw and played MSX pitfall 2 for the first time, and after short moment of tasting, as tune was made to be lil different compared to commodore´s (same tune, but had lil extras) and then I liked MSX version which sounded more jolly than commodore´s. Thought commodore version of tune has great feeling in it! I really hope someone would make MSX version of Pitfall 2 tunes, which sound exactly same as on Commodore 64 Pitfall 2. If you don´t know what I am talking about, please try 64´s Pitfall 2, you´ll just LOVE that tune!!

WHAT?!? You are blaming my favourite game!!!!




how about this game:

0 PRONT

If we think, what might be the worst game, that was actually sold, it is quite a tough question... I think, I'll give my vote for "Pyramid & beduins" from SVI. Other SVI games got also lot of points from me in this competition.

I remember a game that had speech telling me 'catch the baby' EVERY NEW SCREEN!! *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* *'catch the baby'* !!! AAAARGH!!

Hmmmm.... do you AAAARGH!! Punchy just because that game about saving little BABY is too much for male chauvinist...?

I personally liked very much about Punchy as it had kinda colourful graphics (ok, fireballs were single sprites..) AND HAD SPEECH!! In the eighties it was BIG THING if game had speech!! And that bastard laughing to you every time you kick the bucket was really cool too!!
