Electric Adventures MSX Basic Games Video's

I followed this guy on YouTube for a very long time. He plays everything, collects everything and makes videos about both. Ellectric Adventures is not a real MSX collector, but in lost of video's there is some MSX stuff to see. I posted earlier about his A-Z favorite MSX Games, now he has a new serie for MSX (and Spectravideo) , which is even better: his collection of MSX/SVI Basic/ML games, created by the man himself. 

I saw his 2nd video in this serie and ask him if I could download the MSX Basic stuff 
(he is still selling his machinecode games).
He told me where to look on his website and there I find each MSX-Basic game with a screenshot and a download link. I am not putting a download link to a disk with all MSX-Basic games, I prefer you check his website and download only the ones you like.
 
While browsing throught his website I learned he was a important member of the Australian and Tasmanian MSX/SVI scene, some time ago. 
So he was more MSX minded than I expected.

Back to the Basic games, there are at the moment 2 videos to watch, Lunar Lander and Road Racer. 
Where mr. Electric Adventures plays the games and shows lot of the technics he used to create the game. 
It's really usefull to see how he uses MSX-Basic to the max.

Well, I played all his MSX Basic games now (yes, including Painter) and most of his games are just Basic versions of famous Arcade games. 
There is nothing wrong with that, the playablity is very high, but I just dont want to play another Frogger (Chicken) 
or Pacman (Munchman) or Robotwars (Android). 
However I find some treasures in his collection:


* Demon Attack ( space shooting game with only 2 enemies, dont get hit by bombs)
* Dungeon Hunter ( Text adventure with some graphics, fight or run is the question)
* Parachute ( catch all paratroopers with you boat, they cant swim)
* Skybase ( space shooting game with 4 enemies who will ram you, needs docking too)

There are also a couple of platform games, but I dont know why I was loosing lives so quickly and another platformer looked a lot of a game, I already used in my 112 MSX-Basic games list. I leave those for better players than me.

So if you like MSX-Basic and you like playing MSX-Basic games, go to the Electric Adventures website.
