Back to the Future / バック・トゥ・ザ・フューチャー (MSX)
(C) 1985 Pony Canyon
Developed by Makoto Ichinoseki
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
======
- The game is running in the intended 60Hz speed, in case anyone is wondering (since it's a Japanese developed game). Most videos of this game online are running on a Western MSX, hence the slower/wrong 50Hz speed.
- I've made a detailed guide about all of the game's mechanics over here: msx.org/forum/msx-talk/software/guide-to-back-to-the-future-msx (Includes a map showing all the hidden grape and apple locations)
- Makoto Ichinoseki also developed this game for the PC-88. It is undumped and almost no one knows that it exists. Here's what the game looks like, as seen on the advert from LOGiN magazine (1986-4): https://i.imgur.com/TIbRuPn.png
- Pony Canyon published another Back to the Future game in 1986 for MSX2, PC-88, FM-7, and Sharp MZ. It's called Back to the Future Adventure and it was developed by Data West. It's a visual novel and uses digitized pictures from the movie.

Chubby Gristle (MSX)
(C) 1988 Grandslam Entertainments
Developed 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 Teques Peter Harrap, Chubby Gristle was based on a real-life car park attendant who worked opposite Teques offices. He was always turfing them out of his car park, even if they were only turning the cars around in it. You cant 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 cant park here, Ill have a word with tcommissioner, 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 youll 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 games 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 dont 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 KINGS BELLY room, as well as eat at all 4 tables in the Greasy Joes 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 its only giving you score from the first time you pick it up.
- If youre a professional Chubby Gristle player, your score will always be 13611 (only exception being the Amstrad CPC version, where you cant collect the bag in the Di Smantels scrappers room).")
