Booming Boy - Bomberman inspired arcade release for the MSX2 with a Demo!
Through all the years of retro gaming, there is one name that always stands out in the crowd, and that is Bomberman or as it's also called Dynablaster. This incredibly addictive game was originally developed by Hudson Soft in which you move a character around a maze like game screen, collecting power ups and placing bombs to clear obstacles or wiping out enemies. What made the game so challenging is the fact that bombs can also be a hindrance and if placed incorrectly can also kill you and your friends if being played in multiplayer. Such a brilliant game for it's time and every so often we get a clone of Bomberman by different developers and 'Booming Boy' developed for the MSX2 is one such game that certainly is a worthy addition to this retro line up.
Head Over Heels - Isometric hit coming to MSX2!
Today's news just gets better and better as we've just found out that Ocean Software's 1987 isometric hit game Head Over Heels is being remade for the MSX2! What fine news indeed, as Head Over Heels programmed by Jon Ritman was a critically acclaimed game across a multitude of platforms such as the Amstrad and ZX Spectrum. It gained very high reviews across the board with multi-player controls of two characters instead of just one in an isometric puzzler. - Thanks msx.org
