So there are 16 entries (3 of them are already finished!) but I hope there will be more in the future. People is keeping a lot of entries in secret too... In this edition more non-spanish teams/developers have joined the contest so, don't be shy and start your project right now... you got 7 months to finish your project so you have no excuses!.

Be sure to check the official status in order to gather information about the developers of the entries!. And don't miss to give feedback, some little lines could be the difference between an unfinished project and a brand-new game!

More than amazing! Great, great, great stuff!!

Unfortunately Bombman does have a few issues though... I've had an Out of memory error every time I ran the game and I think there's something wrong with the sound.

All in all MSXdev'05 will be the most succesful one Robsy has organized sofar. Great work!

Yes, Bombman has some little bugs. At Karoshi forums some users reported that the game ocasionally hangs at the "game over" screen, and some bombs appear inside walls, and some troubles with EXECROM too... I hope Andrea will review his game correcting those bugs

MSXdev'05 is huge - And so it should be! The more MSX games the better, and I think there are some surprisingly cool titles yet to come!
