MSX Google week 19, 2017

I was in no condition to program/compile or edit music/videos, so I decided to look for MSX listings witg Google. Back in the days if you wanted new software cheap, you could buy a computermagazine and type over some listings.
If you were lucky the listing works all at once, most of the time you were tryiong to find typos. I did a lot of typing over listings, I even bought a couple of books full of listings when I started with MSX-ing.
It was very educational to see how those listings work, so I could improve them.

Yeah, there are more sources to download those MCM/MCCM disks, full of listings and other MSX-stuff. It can be handy before you stsart to type over a listing from a MCM/MCCM magazine, right ?

Not much to do with listings, but free download of a MSX-2 remake of the original KONAMI Knightmare is hard to resist. The music of level 1 got several remakes in the MSX music-scene. The best one I found on YouTube was this: https://youtu.be/y0b-bi7TMd4
(not made on any MSX...)

I searched for samples, but in the end, this link fits more at the Google search for MSX listings. If you look in Ficheros , you find a lot of Spanish MSX games I never heard of and also a couple of listing compliations, I hope.
Start you Google translate and play those games on your MSX-Emulator !

Again MCM/MCCM disks full of listings, but also a nice collection of MSX/PC tools you never knew they existed. Take a good look around here, I really liked FDsave and FDload, but a manual or something is not included.
Too bad, now we have to try and hope for the best.

Nothing to do with listings, but this rare website had some info about a very curious MSX hardware combo, a Palcom MSX-1 computer and a Pioneer LaserDisc player. There were a couple of (NTSC) games made for this special MSX, so in Europe you could not play those (PAL standard). Search the titles on YouTube, great cutscenes, but great gameplay ?
For example check out Astron Belt of Sega . Or search on YouTube with "MSX Laserdisc" to get plenty of Laserdisc gameplay

Well, that's enough for now, if you weant more links, check the next post.
