Google week 40, 2017

I haven't googled MSX things lately, but since I got some ideas about my "Mega Wordstore+ Demo" (about using the MIF package to create new looking converted pictures for my Wordstore+ demo's), I googled again.

Well, there was an interesting topic about the updated MIF package on msx.org. More than that, there was a whole forum about MSX software on msx.org with more interesting stuff.
And that is what this post is all about, just forum posts about MSX software from msx.org.


* To take off, of course, the topic about the updated MIF package, currently v2.3 but not for use in MSX-Basic anymore
* Then a new feature of Google, you can search for similar pictures, mentioned in the topic about finding the name of some MSX games
 and so I found this website full of MSX cassette images of a lot of commercial games and magazines  this is a real treasure chest, maybe some are good enough to be translated for my 112 games list
* A free new MSX game (2 games into 1), this is really good platform game(s)
* Next, a Dutch MSX magazine which was also famous, the MSX-gids, it has not an online archive (sadly), but in the topic, you find some links for some issues
* A list of the weirdest MSX games can be very amusing, so here is the topic, you will find also videos and download links
 * An MSX-1 demo made by an Amstrad CPC coder. Well, it's a little better than a Commodore 64 coder, but he really shows what MSX-1 can do, where are the MSX coders now?
* I also found a topic about every pinball game ever released on MSX. Most of them are MSX-1 and look a bit crappy. I still love Rollerball of HAL, not Fireball and sometimes Pinball Blaster. Some of the pinball games you can play at www.file-hunter.com
* A topic about free race games got me download 2 free games, Car II and Lotus F3
* Last of all I found out the MSX-2 point-and-click adventure ZOO of Radarsoft was translated in English and French, I still have the original Dutch version somewhere.
