Right... euhm.. I'm quite a bit confused. I know
Twinkle Star as an MSX Magazine/Takeru game. Suddenly, I see this.
Is there any relation between these two titles, apart from the name (so I can make an MSX-related newspost about it ;P), or is this just a stroke of luck?  |

A stroke of luck. Didn't I already tell you?  |

The deal is: I won't have to hunt down the original AES or MVS version of Twinkle Star Sprites and pay through my nose but I can buy the game for PS2!  .
FYI: Twinkle Star Sprites (c) ADK, released in Japan for the Neo Geo MVS in 1996, released for the Neo Geo AES on January 31 1997. |

And, as Rieks already tried to make clear to me: Twinkle Star Sprites (c) ADK, 1996 has absolutely completely totally nothing to do with Twinke Star (c) 1990, MSX Magazine? |

Well I never heard of 'your' Twinkle Star - I only know TSS by ADK. Do you know how that game by MSX Magazine plays?
If the gameplaymechanics are the same then IMHO TSS could be either:
- new version of the same
- best ripoff I've ever seen 
So I'll need to know how the MSX game plays to give you more definite answeres on this one. |

Nop, I know little more than the info Generation MSX gives over here... The MSX2+ game seems to be an ordinary shooting game. The ADK version combines shoot'em-up with puzzle elements, right? So there probably is no link other than the name of the game... which could be nothing more than a bit of coincidence... I think.... |

Sprites or spirits? |

At least the Twinkle Star I know looks a whole lot different than those screenshots.

Twinkle Star Sprites (by ADK, in case you fear of getting confused ) is indeed a shoot'em-up with puzzle elements.
Actually, the first thing that came into my mind when first reading this topic was: 'don't worry, those are different, unrelated games' . |
