Kai Magazine | Myths and Dragons Msx2 + v9990. Dragon. Character: Princess (exclusive preorder character). @kaimagazine8221 | Uploaded November 2017 | Updated October 2024, 54 seconds ago.
The Capcom homage and "king of dragons" clone: Myths and Dragons for msx2 + v9990 graphic card is now finished.
This game intends to be a re-imagined "king of dragons/Advanced dungeons and dragons: tower of doom/shadows over mystara" version for msx2 and the graphic chip V9990.
The game works on a 8 bit computer and it controls 2 16bit chips (the v9990 graphic chip and the opl4 sound chip) pushing an 8 bit processor to the limits.
GAME FEATURES:
The game is a typical capcom beat'em up, but with RPG elements. This means you can repeat stages to earn more gold and experiencie. You can purchase better weapons (purchasing a better weapon increases the strenght AND THE RANGE of the weapon) and restore your health in the shops arround the province of Tarragonia.
This RPG feature is not meant to artificially extend the life of the game, since the game can be beaten without dying and without repeating a single stage. This is meant for those who are not experiencied on this kind of games, so they can improve their characters and beat up the game regardless of their skills.
If a player beats the game without dying and without using a password, an extra will be unlocked.
The game can be played alone (1 player) or with a friend (2 players, cooperative mode). Each player can get his own password so they can save their individual progress.
As a matter of fact, 2 players can meet at someone's home and bring their individual passwords and play cooperatively with their individual characters using their own passwords, so you can carry your character arround and play with it at anyone's home. Just take a picture of youw password with your cellphone.
You can also fight versus the other player at any unlocked stage. Friendly fire is on, so, have fun!
The game has 2 different characters to play with (warrior and wizard) and the gameplay is different with each of them.
The pre-purchase version includes an exclusive third character: the princess, which is basically like the warrior, but in female version.
The game includes 9 stages and 2 unlockable secret areas. Once unlocked, you can save this achievment with your password.
HARDWARE FEATURES:
We always aim to support as much hardware and MSX peripherals as we can.
This game supports the following sound chips:
Psg (for sound effects)
FM pac (opll) for music
Music Module (opl1) for music
Fm Pac + Music Module (both at the same time)
Moonsound (opl4) for music and sound effects.
It is optimized for the following CPU's:
Z80
Z80B (Panasonic 2+)
R800 (Panasonic Turbo R)
It works with any v9990 msx compatible cartridge and any opl4 msx compatible sound cartridge.
Minimum requirements:
v9990, Msx2 with 64k of RAM and FM pac or Music Module
Recommended:
v9990, Panasonic 2+ or Turbo R with OPL4 and 128k of RAM
RELEASE:
The game will be released on December 9th 2017.
The pre-purchase period at a reduced price which also includes an extra playable character (the princess) will finish on December 3rd (included).
There is a digital version to be used on a real MSX computer and another version specially patched to work on the OPENMSX emulator, but this version will suffer a lower performance due to the software patch we had to code, using r800 cpu power. Therefore this openmsx special version will only work on an emulated Turbo R.
