Though I have some vague feeling, that I have seen this somewhere in the internet years ago, but I am not sure. Anyway, check the video, it can´t be totally unknown as every 1980s gaming geek can see it around the world now.

Start to watch at 0:40.

At least MSXMANIA and Generation-MSX doesn´t know about it.

It looks like well done home made game. It misses animation though, but looks good anyway. :) Or was this commercial game? Or published in some magazine or magazine´s cassette?

At the end of the eighties of early nineties we already had this game at home on a copied disk with some other software. I don't now the origin of the game. If I remember correctly it was written in Basic.

Didn't know it either, but it indeed looks like a well designed BASIC game.

Some Googling mentions its' from Revista. Is that a Spanish magazine?

Actually "Revista" is the spanish word for "Magazine".

OK, so it's from *some* magazine... Anyone got an idea which?

Yes, it comes from a spanish magazine. It is an amateur game written in BASIC that won some kind of prize. I have the magazine at home. However, I think the game itself is slower than what is seen on the video.

I tried it myself, it was like on the video, but maybe it's a 50/60Hz issue? Anyway, would be nice if you could look up the magazine!
