[MSX2] Gekisou Nyancle (Nyancle Racing) - Longplay The MSX Channel 2024-02-20 | Gekisou Nyancle / 激走ニャンクル (MSX2)(C) 1988 Matsushita / Bit²Produced by Matsushita. Developed by Bit².-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notes:======- This game is related to Famicle Parodic (1988) and Famicle Parodic 2 (1990) for the MSX2, other games by Bit², which are shmups.- You start the game with 4 lives. Every time when you crash into something, your car gets damaged. Crash 6 times and you lose a life.- Pressing F1 during race opens up a window with various info (lives, damage, candies, items).- Collect candies and use them to buy various items from shops and fixing your car at clinics.- Items in shops: Extra Life (7 candies), Longer Jump (2 candies), Faster Speed (3 candies), Better Steering (2 candies), Extra Time (6 candies)- Repairs in clinics: 30% (3 candies), 60% (6 candies), 90% (9 candies)- Every item is passive. Buying the same item multiple times, stacks up their effect. In the beginning, you can have 5 items of each type. This limit is increased by 5 after every course.- There's 5 courses, each one consisting of 3 races. At the end of each course, you're given points depending on three factors (remaining time, current car damage, remaining candies).
[MSX] Chubby Gristle - Longplay The MSX Channel 2024-02-19 | Chubby Gristle (MSX)(C) 1988 Grandslam EntertainmentsDeveloped by Teque Software-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notes:======- The game was programmed by Pete J. Hickinson and Bill Caunt. Graphics by Mark Edwards. Music by Ben Daglish. Cover artwork by David John Rowe.- According to Teque's Peter Harrap, Chubby Gristle was based on a real-life car park attendant who worked opposite Teque's offices. He was always turfing them out of his car park, even if they were only turning the cars around in it. "You can't park here" was his catchphrase.- Chubby Gristle was also released for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Atari ST, and Amiga. The Amiga version is the only one with digitized speech ("You can't park here", "I'll have a word with t'commissioner", "Oooh, what a bargain", etc.).- The objective of the game is to collect most items, do certain tasks, and reaching the exit safely (more on this later). The screen titled "Gives weigh" acts as the checking point, where you need to have collected every flashing item up until this point, in order to progress (otherwise you'll thrown into the "Blubber busters" room).- Collecting the boots in the "Filling up station" room makes you immune to water.- Shopping cart from the "Permet 'olders only" room is needed for collecting the flashing items in the "Sainsbellies" and "Sainsbellies checkout" rooms.- Collecting the Chubby Coins in the "Weighed through", "Last gasp" and "Aloo aloo" rooms will activate some of the game's lifts that are needed for completing the game.- Picking up the smoking pipe in the room "Weigh stage" resets your score, as well as kills you when you reach the next room (ignoring all your remaining lives).- Jamming the gears in the "The works" room will stop the boxing glove machine in the "Di Smantels scrappers" room.- Spanner in the "The main drain" room and the big bottles in the "Spirit level" and "The POSE AND FROWN" rooms are only for score and don't have to be collected to complete the game.- In addition to collecting most items, you also need to drink from the 2 barrels in the "The KING'S BELLY" room, as well as eat at all 4 tables in the "Greasy Joe's" room.- Standing on lifts makes you invincible against any hazard and immune to fall damage (you can fall down onto a lift from as far as you want).- For whatever reason, the bag in the "Di Smantels scrappers" room always respawns when you re-enter the screen (a bug). At least it's only giving you score from the first time you pick it up.- If you're a professional Chubby Gristle player, your score will always be 13611 (only exception being the Amstrad CPC version, where you can't collect the bag in the "Di Smantels scrappers" room).
[MSX] Boomerang - Longplay The MSX Channel 2024-02-15 | Boomerang / ブーメラン (MSX)(C) 1984 ASCII CorporationBy Hiroshi Nishikawa-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notes:======- Boomerang was originally released for the NEC PC-8001 computer in 1983. It was one of the 5 grand prix winners of the first ASCII Software Contest, which got a physical release by ASCII Corporation (other games being Bokosuka Wars, War Game Construction Kit, UTAN Jr., and Stone Panic).- The PC-8001 version of Boomerang has 28 stages, while the MSX version only has 14. They are mostly different, but share some similarities.- The game loops the 14 stages over and over again, each loop being faster than the last one.- Every stage will increase the amount of points received from defeated enemies by 10 points, starting with 10 points per kill in stage 1. This behavior continues even after completing a loop (in other words, no reset), eventually making you gain a crazy amount of score from kills.- The max score is 99990. Once reached, or rather exceeded, the score counter will reset back to 0. This can be first done on the 5th loop (or the 4th loop, if you purposely keep sacrificing lives for farming score). My personal record is maxing out the score 4 times (1st time on the 5th loop, 2nd time on the 7th loop, 3rd time on the 8th loop, 4th time on the 9th loop).- Every time when you complete a stage, you gain an extra life.- Many of the stages can always be done consistently (at least on the first few loops), while some are a bit more random with enemy projectiles. For this reason it's a good thing that the game gives you an extra life every time when you complete a stage.- Learn how many enemy projectiles can be on the screen at the same time for each stage, as this behavior is consistent. For instance, in stages 6, 9, and 13 only one projectile can exist at a time, making timing your movements easier.- While waiting too long in a stage is usually bad for you, since enemies will start to move too fast and shoot constantly, it's actually super-useful for stage 12.- You change the throwing direction of your boomerang by moving around (doesn't work if moving against walls). Note that this only works when you're carrying the boomerang, meaning that whenever you pick up the boomerang again, you need to take another step to update the direction.- You can't throw the boomerang if an enemy is right in front of you.- You can block enemy projectiles with the boomerang.- Enemy projectiles only kill you if they hit directly into you. For instance, when a projectile is moving up, you can safely try to walk into them from the sides (left or right). The projectile will behave as if it were a wall.
Space Manbow gameplay with 2022 music The MSX Channel 2022-12-28 | One of the original Space Manbow (MSX2/2+) composers, TECHNOuchi a.k.a. missingsoul/Mr.YT, released new arrangements of Space Manbow music on Twitter. I decided to take these arrangements and combine them with Space Manbow game footage.TECHNOuchi's Twitter posts:twitter.com/TECHNOuchi/status/1605235683760566280First, I recorded a full playthrough of the game with only sound effects. I then added the new music manually, using a video editor. Enjoy!(NOTE: Since there are no arrangements for Stages 7 and 8, only the end of Stage 7 and 8 is shown. Otherwise this is a complete playthrough of Space Manbow)
[MSX] Tiny Rise Out - Longplay The MSX Channel 2022-11-19 | Tiny Rise Out / タイニーライズアウト (MSX)(C) 1984 ASCIIDeveloped by Hibiki Godai---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notes:======- Hibiki Godai is one of the designers of Thexder. He created Rise Out with Satoshi Uesaka.- This is a trial version of Rise Out from Dungeons, released on the 01/84 issue of LOGiN magazine as a program listing.- There's a minor issue with one of the coins being inaccessible in level 4, which may be a result of someone typing in the program listing wrong from the magazine. While unfortunate, it doesn't affect with completing the game.

[MSX] Aliens: Alien 2 - Longplay The MSX Channel 2019-10-29 | Aliens / エイリアン２ (MSX)(C) 1987 Square---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notes:======- The music for this game was composed by Nobuo Uematsu of Final Fantasy fame. It was one of his earlier works. In the game manual he used the pseudonym Kentaro Hayabusa. (source: The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers, Volume 3 - http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/books/the-untold-history-of-japanese-game-developers-volume-3)- This game was also planned to be released for the Famicom Disk System and a PC, but both versions were cancelled in the end due to Square not being happy with the quality. A prototype of the Famicom Disk System version was found and dumped in 2011. (source: The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers, Volume 3 - http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/books/the-untold-history-of-japanese-game-developers-volume-3)- There is another Aliens game for the MSX, and other 8-bit computers, called "Aliens: The Computer Game", which is totally different from this one (not to be confused with Activision's game of the same name from 1986, which was released in the US for the Commodore 64, Apple II, and ZX Spectrum). That one was developed and published by Electric Dreams Software in 1987 in Europe, and ported to the MSX by Mr. Micro.

[MSX2] Blaster Burn: Budruga Episode III - Longplay + Extras The MSX Channel 2019-10-23 | Blaster Burn / ブラスターバーン (MSX2)(C) 1989, 1990, 1991 Compile----------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTES:- This is episode III of the Budruga saga. Final Justice (1985), Guardic (1986), and Gulkave are episodes I, II and IV respectively. All these games were released for the MSX. While the name "Budruga" only makes an appearance in Blaster Burn, these games were always meant to be connected story wise (no retcon!).- The story of Blaster Burn: "It's the year 2822. Earth is once again invaded by Gorth. The space battle fighter "Final Justice" and the air battle fighter "Guardic" were protecting it, but Gorth's attacks were getting more intense day by day. A year later, technology and materials discovered from the remains of the Gorth base left on Earth, were used to create the ultimate anti-Gorth weapon, Guardic II. Guardic II was launched to destroy Gorth's homeland planet, Galium."- You control a female pilot (as showed in Disc Station #14 manual): https://i.imgur.com/bsWHWxC.png- The story of Randar Burn: "Randar, who loves mandarin oranges, bought a whole bunch of them from a fruit stand and ate them, but thought they tasted terrible. He questioned the shopkeeper of the fruit stand about this, and learned that the shopkeeper had been forced to sell them by a giant mandarin orange who was planning to ship terrible mandarin oranges across the universe in an effort to conquer all creation. Burning with rage and a desire to bring back a world where people could eat delicious mandarin oranges, Randar flew off to Planet Orange at the ends of space, where the giant mandarin orange resided."- BB#5 stage 2 is based on Compile's E.I. game. BB#6 stages are based on Compile's Final Justice and Guardic games (accompanied by their theme songs).- I took the default player data from BB#8, because it removes the need of farming experience points (Hit) and money (Power) completely, which would otherwise take days to do. BB#8 also has the cheapest shop prices.- While Randar Burn came out after BB#2, I decided to play it after BB#4, because I wanted the first half of the longplay being played as the Guardic II aircraft, and the other half as Randar.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------GUARDIC II PARAMETERS:==========================LEVEL: Your level (100 max).HIT: Your experience points. Increased by defeating enemies. If you reach a certain number, you can raise your level in the Level Up shop (shop options: "Normal Bullet Strength" (top), "Shield Gauge" (middle), and "Aircraft speed" (bottom)).POWER: Accumulated by taking power chips that appear during play.

[MSX] Guardic - Longplay The MSX Channel 2019-10-06 | Guardic / ガーディック (MSX)(C) 1986 Compile---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notes:======- This is episode II of the Budruga saga. Final Justice (1985), Blaster Burn (1990), and Gulkave (1986) are episodes I, III and IV respectively. All these games were released for the MSX.- The MSX game, Jagur-5: Golden Triangle, has a playable character named Guadic, which is a reference to this game.- If you press LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT in the title screen, you will access the Practice Mode, where you can practice any of the areas in the game (excluding the bosses). For some odd reason, you can't use any Options in this mode.- If you press LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT in the score table, you will access the Sound Test.- Blaster Burn #6 has a stage that is based on Guardic, including the theme song.- The NES game, The Guardian Legend ("Guardic Gaiden" in Japan), is often called the sequel/spin-off to this game. However, according to the developers, the name was established before the game even began production, and the actual design, and even story, has nothing to do with Guardic. The only connection is the use of Guardic’s theme music as the password tune.
