Space Bash: Contact!! - A spiritual sci-fi sequel to Jaleco’s classic RodLand is coming soon to the MSX

If you have a MSX then read on! As I've just found out through Twitter that the upcoming game called 'Space Bash: Contact!!', a spiritual successor to Jaleco’s legendary RodLand, will be released as of 15th March 2026. Developed for the prestigious MSXdev’25 competition, this title swaps the fairy land of the original for a bizarre alien world, promising an experience that is faster, more challenging, and—as the developers put it—significantly "crazier."

Here's the full details. "If you love classic arcade platformers… fasten your seatbelt! Space Bash: Contact!! is a spiritual sequel to Jaleco’s classic RodLand, set in space — and even crazier. More action. More strategy. More ways to attack and defend. Levels designed to reward clever tactics, not just fast reflexes. Developed for the MSXdev’25 competition, the game runs on any MSX computer with at least 16 KB of RAM, bringing a colorful arcade-style experience to classic 8-bit hardware. Watch the trailer for a first look at the gameplay, enemies, and the bizarre alien world waiting for you."
