Title: Room 5 Genre: Puzzle, adventure Author(s): MO5.com Medium: ROM 48KB Hardware requirements: MSX1, 16KB A strange building, a strange voice, strange surroundings in a strange setup. It is just you in your wheelchair finding a way out. Apparently the fifth room is your exit, or at least so the mysterious telephone voice tells you. A puzzle adventure for MSX1. The French based   MO5.com   association promotes the preservation of videogame heritage, including the MSX system’s games. To achieve this, MO5.com has been campaigning since 2003 for the creation of a national museum, supported by the government and industry professionals, to reflect the common policies of all the representatives of the digital and video game industries in France. The game Room 5 was created live for educational purposes by MO5.com, and ended up here at MSXdev. Still dizzy from last night, you somehow got yourself stuck in a room with only a strange voice on the telephone instructing you to get to R...

 by Jim Blimey Jim: The evil Sparx are attacking your Spectrum's Z80 processor along its incoming wires. Your only defence is the ability to electrify the wires which kills the Sparx on them. Sparx   was originally a Sinclair BASIC type in game published in   Sinclair User  back in 1984, written by Jonathan Currey. I have taken this old code ported it over to ZXBASIC, spruced up the visuals and introduced different difficulty levels and joystick controls.

Title: A Great New World Genre: Strategic puzzle Author(s): Phaze101 Medium: ROM 48KB Hardware requirements: MSX1, 16KB This is a game for people that dream of running a perfect society where everyone is happy, sort of… One needs to be brave to make a game inspired by “A Brave New World”, one of the top 3 dystopian stories ever written, and the author of this game boldly goes there, to bring us this great entry. The game is not by the events of the book, but by the society it pictures. In this great world everyone has a role and they are conditioned from birth to be good at it, and even more importantly, happy in there. In the game  A Great New World  you are in charge of keeping this “perfect” society running. For that you need to make sure the right amount of citizens of each type are bred and “prepared” (a.k.a. conditioned) to perform their role in society across a series of minigames that are much deeper than they look on the surface. Each turn, natural disasters will redu...

Title: Beep Genre: Puzzle Author(s): Breinthee Medium: Disk 720KB Hardware requirements: MSX1, FDD Last update: 20250125 If you enjoy puzzle games and robots as protagonists, then Breinthee’s game  Beep  is the perfect choice for you. In Beep you control a robot that needs to collect some components while avoiding the robot that guards them. Too simple? Ok, fine, we didn’t tell you everything… the mechanics forgot to put brakes in your robot, so it will go ahead until it hits a wall, or maybe the floor is ice. Whatever the reason, you have to rely on careful planning to get through each stage. Behind its deceptively simple monochrome UI lays a smooth puzzle game that will give you several layers of challenge. From the start you choose your level of difficulty beginning with “Explorer” mode. Go explore, slide, smash yourself against walls, collect the missing components, avoid the security droid and don’t forget to BEEP along the way. You think Explorer mode is too easy for you...

 by Jeffrey Daniels (denial) Two simple games for VIC 20 Jeffrey: " I just found this collection of simple sports games I made many years ago.  These are very simple games played with the keyboard.  Keys shown at the top of each side of the screen. Don't expect much.  This was an exercise in simplification.  From what I remember, this project started after a conversation about the lack of sports titles for the platform ".   Source: https://jeffdaniels.itch.io/goal-hockey-soccer-football-vic-20-vic-20-vic20

 by KWYAINE This is a C64 BASIC conversion of  Soleau Software 's shareware MS-DOS game, originally developed by  William Soleau  in 1992. In this game you control Alpha Man on a 11x7 grid where the object is to push blue blocks with letters on them over tiles marked with the same letter. Sounds like a very simple task, but the actual solution of each puzzle in this game can prove to be very challenging. (Part of the reason why I chose to make this conversion.)
