  Title: Mix Genre: Arcade Author(s): Uninteresting Medium: ROM 16K Hardware requirements: MSX1, 16KB RAM The game Mix is a tribute to the original game called Qix, by Taito 1981. This arcade game keeps you on edge, literally. With the right amount of wit and cleverness, you might outrun your opponents while claiming space. The author Uninteresting is no stranger to the dev show and delivers yet another classic style MSX title.   With your marker you claim areas in the playfield by drawing and joining lines. Your opponents will try and stop you from doing that, as good opponents do. The tracers, who ride the outer rim, hunt you down and destroy you by their tough. The playfield itself is guarded by the big green monster that seeks to destroy your work-in-progress; when they touch an unfinished line, you’re done for. Same goes for the timer; if it runs out, you’re exit. Your marker moves on the edges of open areas, as do the tracers. Claim space in the o...

    n olden days of yore, the realm of Alefgard was cloaked in darkness. According to legend, a brave warrior, Erdrick, brought light back to the land by defeating an evil being. He used the Ball of Light bequeathed to him by a friend to drive off the enemies of Alefgard. He then gave the Ball of Light to King Lorik, who unified Alefgard. The land was at peace for many generations. In the time of King Lorik XVI, the Ball of Light were stolen from Tantegel Castle by the evil Dragonlord, and once again the Kingdom of Alefgard was plunged into darkness. Many travelers fell prey to the merciless fangs of monsters, and the beautiful was transformed into poisonous swamps that hindered travelers. It was also rumored that several Towns and Villages were destroyed; wiped off the face of the land by Ghosts & Dragons. Many brave warriors tried to recover the Ball of Light, but none of them returned from Charlock, the Dragonlord's dark castle. The people longed for peace, but ...

 by Cosmium   Asteroids-type game for the ZX Spectrum     Cosmium : " Cosmic Swarm is a simple little 16K game that I wrote in 1983 alongside Megapede, Robon and Repulsar. The game was submitted for publication, but as far as I know never released and has been considered MIA , though it did appear in a few magazine ads at the time. Like many of those earlier games it features single screen, character-based movement and was written in compiled BASIC for the 16K Spectrum. Since I have now have the source, I've recompiled it with Colt for the 48K model and added multiple key input rather than the limited single key, INKEY$-based input of the original. Gameplay remains unchanged. I don't think it ever had a proper loading screen - at least not on the C15 tape I discovered from 1983 - so I knocked one up in ZX-Paintbrush for the occasion ".

 by ZXDavies Celebrating 40 years of the ZX Spectrum ZXDavie s: " A slightly different take on a popular maze game. investigate a dozen mazes in the style of an old, early, never ending, 80s arcade game. We're looking at high scores here and not much else. You might get a sense of deja vue around ever corner as it's speccy reference city, plus a few others. Collect all items in each maze whilst blasting enemies away with fireballs and freezing them temporarily in their tracks with the bonus fruits, candy, chicken and recognisers. This is my Atari E.T., although I've had a lot longer than five weeks, but I've actually had a deadline for the first time. So forgive me if it's far from perfect but I think it's still a lot of fun and a half decent way to celebrate the Spectrum's 40th birthday ".

  La junta directiva de Konami ha aprobado un cambio de su nombre comercial: si los accionistas lo aprueban, pasará a llamarse 'Konami Group Corporation' en lugar de 'Konami Holdings Corporation'     Ahora son los accionistas quienes deben dar el visto bueno a la modificación. Está previsto que eso ocurra en la junta general de accionistas que tendrá lugar a finales de junio, por lo que a partir del 1 de julio comenzaría la vigencia del nuevo nombre y la compañía pasaría a llamarse Konami Group Realmente el cambio puede ser poco significativo ya que el nombre clave "KONAMI" sigue vigente en la nueva denominación... no obstante, ¿Llevará cambios significativos en la política de la empresa? ¿Será simplemente un mero trámite corporativo? ¿Qué se esconde detrás? ¿Tendremos una "nueva" Konami? El tiempo nos dará las respuestas a estas preguntas y otras tantas. FUNETE: VANDAL

 Tirada muy limitada... GAME PRESS A tribute to Juan Giménez (1943-2020) fue publicado en noviembre de 2020 gracias a una campaña de crowfunding lanzada por Atila Merino y Ángel Luis Sánchez . Su objetivo era publicar 500 ejemplares y destinar los beneficios a la familia de Juan Giménez . La campaña fue un éxito, el libro salió con una calidad increíble y prácticamente agotaron la edición, pero, por problemas con la distribución, algunos ejemplares no llegaron a ver la luz. Ahora, año y medio después, desde Game Press queremos aportar nuestro granito de arena, encargándonos de la distribución de aquellos pocos libros que se quedaron sin conocer un nuevo hogar. Esta es, por tanto, una edición con unidades extremadamente limitadas, en la cual Game Press solo se encarga (en exclusiva) de la distribución.   Comprar libro, aquí Fuente: GAME PRESS
