hi,
I am looking for the name of a game I played a long time ago.

by an airplane.

Clouds and angels? Maybe ANGELO. But you are always an angel and all the game is about moving the coloured clouds, and I don't remeber any airplane.
Could you give us more details? Was it for MSX1/2? Format (disk/cartridge/tape)?

It is an MSX1 platform game.
You play a guy with green shirt and green shoes, the skin color is color number 9.
Probebly a 32k rom or so. I had a copy on disk but that might have been illegal  . |

Then it reminds me of BOUKEN ROMAN, check if it is the right game here:

Color 9 face and green shoes and shirt. I cannot remember what happens when he dies, but probably this is the game.
If not, let us know it and we will continue our bets!

Oh, yes. Sorry for the last post: now I have understood it, DOTA is the alternate name for BOUKEN ROMAN. Good game and amazing gameplay packed in only 32 KB. Ultrabright colours for sensible eyes, though!

Dota is an absolutely wonderful game. Played it many times, as a child. I have an original of it, released by Aackosoft.
The colours never bothered me... But it’s MSX1 software, thus no palette, so can it really be much different from other MSX1 games... nah .
Funny btw that the screenshot on Generation MSX says "Pyrated by Pisoft" .

p.s. on that second screenshot, is it me or do I see three 2-colour sprites next to eachother? Why don’t they flicker? Would the screenshot have been made on an emulator with the sprite limit disabled (nahh), or is it really a screen 4 game?

You are right: they should flicker like hell! Or simply disappear. Anyway, the bug that is getting out of the hole could be a char-based sprite, because it has got white background. Dunno really!

The holes in the game are not sprites... It's an MSX1 game, and yes, it flickers like hell sometimes.

I tested it and there are no character based sprites: all moving enemies in that game are sprites and they flicker a lot. That shot probably has been done disabling the fifth sprite disappearing on an emulator.
