MSX Games from the UK - Pickup & Play September 2024

My mate Matthew in the UK has been putting aside a few MSX items for me over the last six months, and there were finally enough items to make up a box and send across. What items has he found this time?

Antarctic Adventure .... my childhood :). Greetings from Poland

[@electricadventures]

Greetings from the land of Oz, Antarctic Adventure brings back so many memories still extremely fun today!

[@gepposmsxadventure]

Antarctic Adventure ❤ I think that all msx users love it! All of them!

[@electricadventures]

It was the very first MSX game I played, I have always loved it and it is still fun to play today :)

[@gullpayne]

The penguin one looks fun

[@electricadventures]

Antarctic Adventure is a really fun easy to get into game. There is a sequel called Penguin Adventure that adds more to the gameplay.

40 years old. still playing. great game of Konami.

[@electricadventures]

Once a great game, always a great game. A Konami masterpiece.

[@Ultra-Gamer81]

I am having a tough time distinguishing the difference between MSX version of Antarctic Adventure and the Colecovision version. They both look great. Awesome video.

Famicom version has a propeller hat power up

[@electricadventures]

Yep pretty much identical, the sound is probably a bit richer on this one due to the better sound chip.

[@Dawwwg]

I for one would love to see Tasman in action :)

[@JesterEric]

64 column display

[@electricadventures]

I am actually curious I just ran out of recording time. I’ll have another look at some stage.

[@jmp01a24]

Ingrid's Back should be on diskette, then you get graphics. Goes for both L9 adventures.

[@electricadventures]

It doesn’t list a MSX version on disc in the manual but that doesn’t mean they didn’t release it a bit later than this version. With graphics would be cool.

[@jmp01a24]

@@electricadventures IDK about MXS either, just C64 version & possibly ZX128, Amstrad or BBC.

[@roscohaines8508]

Oh Mummy doesn't appear to work properly. Or at least it isn't like the Amstrad and Spectrum versions. Normally you will see footprints so you are aware of what part of the screen you have been.

[@electricadventures]

It might be that I was playing it on a MSX 2, which can use a different palette, I might try it again on a MSX 1. Not being able to see where I had been made it very hard.

[@JesterEric]

Colours are messed up
