Introduction

The Yellow Alert Demo is the first demo created by the Fony team, it was released in 1989 and features SCC music from Nemesis 3 by Konami and ripped graphics from Dixdaef by Tecnosoft.

A cartridge with SCC/SCC+ soundchip or compatible is required to fully enjoy it. SCC Konami cartridges are usable but remember: Do not insert a cartridge with the MSX turned on!!!. However, safe options exist:

  • slotexpanders with switches
  • SCC cartridges modified with switch or converted to Megasram (aka ESE-RAM)
  • use an MSX emulator

The intro is in screen 0 with a PSG sample of a communication between space and earth. Ready for the story?

All the demo is in screen 5. After a title screen, a story begins, with the discovery of two encapsuled bodies on an abandoned planet. This story is apparently inspired by the Alien movie, as it leads to a dangerous Yellow Alert...

Ending
