Pentacorn Quest - A great ZX Spectrum homebrew appears on the MSX1

Way back in 2015 we announced the release of a gorgeous ZX Spectrum game by José Ignacio Rodríguez and powered by The Mojon Twins called 'Pentacorn Quest'; A platformer which was regarded as a highly recommended and fun for all the family game. Well fast forward to this week however, and we've recently been informed by ArnaudDeKlerk, that Pentacorn Quest has now been released for the MSX1 via the MSXdev23 competition by Robosoft.To coincide with this news, we have some further information about the game below including another screenshot and a video soon from Saberman.


Robosoft returns to MSXdev with his multiscreen platform-adventure game, where you’ll have to find your way though trapdoor invested screens to collect the five lost acorns. Magic gold acorns, that is. What’s the magic you ask? Well, that’s for you to find out. All we know is that they are a cause of dispute between the forces of Light and Darkness. Originally released for the ZX-spectrum, and with permission of the original author Nightwolf, Robosoft delivers a solid MSX1 remake of the game.
