On August 3, 1999, Spectrum Zone, the predecessor of Computer Emuzone [CEZ], was launched. So, we are celebrating our 25th anniversary, and it is worth saying so, even though we have not been able to prepare anything special. We will continue here as long as we can. Thanks for everything!

We mistakenly think on many occasions that, for a game to be good, a great graphic level and a good deployment in the sound section are necessary and nothing is further from reality. The case at hand serves as an example, since it is difficult to make such a fun and addictive game with so little. A simple Pac-Man denture going up and down five levels avoiding the ghosts that try to catch you. It sounds absurd, but I assure you it's amazing. And by simple I don't mean easy. I even think that it is quite difficult and you will suffer desperately from not being able to advance many screens with only three lives, but we love it just the same, because its originality and simplicity is so well achieved that it hooks you without really knowing why.

It really is the MSX adaptation of a classic from 1983 for an incipient and unsuccessful generation of Atari computers called XL (and later called XE), but the best known version, and the one that is honored here, is that of the almost forgotten TI- 99/4A. A prodigy of the electronics giant, Texas Instruments, which in its country of origin -the USA- had a moderate success, being its presence in Europe and let alone in Spain, merely testimonial, despite assuming an authentic revolution for the time, since we are talking about the first home computer with a 16-bit architecture in the History of Computing. And we're talking about the early '80s. That's nothing.

A very fun, fresh, entertaining and perfectly up-to-date title with enormous respect and affection for Maggoo and his team, which will delight any good retro player and which you can enjoy online on our own page by clicking on the icon.
