I would like to draw your attention to the exaggerated amount of promotional and advertising games that were made for MSX, and most of them in Catalonia. Surely MSX companies were very good at Marketing and convinced customers that it was the majority computer system, or of its power, or that they were backed by Sony, Toshiba or Philips, which is true that along with the rest of European brands It looked like "black leg", I don't know what the reason is, but games like this Shop Boy were no exception.

In the game, which is supine shit, you have to go around Catalonia and visit all the shops in the “Miró” chain (don't worry, the distance isn't that long, because apparently everything is on one street).
Surely, Shop Boy, was put in the shop windows of the chain, to demonstrate the potential of the machine, and then surely they were surprised because they sold more Spectrum and Amstrad than MSX ... ;)

The graphics are quite drinkable, but this kind of "Manic Miner Shopper" doesn't convince me at all ...

Coincido con aki, había juegos comerciales bastante peores y con mejor prensa que Shop Boy.

Curioso el mensaje que aparece al terminar el juego, es decir, al conseguir las 8 llaves y es que nos anima a contactar con Mind Games España para conseguir una sorpresa. El juego no es nada…
