Yet another weird MSX game.

OK, it wasn't that hard after all and I'm not completely horrified by the code.
A bit basic though, and very "Uchusen Gamma" (well, same author; what do you expect?). Will try some of the other ideas tomorrow.
Para no gastarme 400 €, estoy mirando emuladores de MSX.
Me ha dejado el enterarme que en Japón salió al mercado MSX-Basic Kun. Permitía marcar secciones de código dentro de un programa en Basic. Al ejecutar el programa, compilaba esas partes y ejecutaba el programa con lo que se ganaba mucha velocidad sin tener que hacer prácticamente cambios. Comodidad del basic y rapidez del programa compilado, ¡décadas antes de Julia!
A ver si puedo probarlo.
The inevitable happened; My Philips NMS1515 #MSX datarecorder suffered the disintegrating-cogwheel disease. Anyone know of a replacement wheel? Are they difficult to install? The inside looks complex as a cuckoo clock!
Mystery City - La Afortunada Adivina narra la historia del detective Thomas Falken, quien investiga a una adivina sospechosa de fraude; durante una sesión en su mansión, un evento inesperado cambia el rumbo de la investigación.

Ontem, no #msxsummit25, tive bons papos com Piter Punk, Ricbit, Rafael Rigues, Ademir Carchano, Paulo Pugno e mais uma dezena de pessoas que eu conheço e admiro há algumas décadas.
E, claro, descobrimos como o mundo.de TI no Brasil é minúsculo.

People say you should never meet your heroes, but today I met one of mine and it was AMAZING. This is Dr. Kazuhiko Nishi, founder of ASCII Corporation and creator of the #MSX standard for 8-bit home computers.
Humble, funny and approachable, he delighted us with a talk about the past and future of the platform at the MSX Summit in São Paulo, Brazil.
I got an autograph in one of the magazines published by ASCII, MSX Magazine, and gave him an autographed copy of my book about the MSX in Brazil.

The Girl From Gunma Kai

Not super exciting, but this is the basic idea!
I thought the power ups will be provided by these slightly stronger enemies that will appear a few times per stage.
The power ups are color encoded: blue, green and red; which I'm not completely sure for accessibility reasons. So all this is very WIP.
