MSX Zone :: Old news

Today is the day a new idea comes to life, the new seal from CEZGS: CEZ Minigames.

It's an old idea we have been thinking to materialise many times in the past, but now it's a reality. Where can publish those little but funny games? These programs are the best choice when we want to spend a little but fun and intense time playing. They didn't take a lot of time to be written, but as you will be able to see, you will like them. In order to make them available, we have created a new forum, so we can publish'em there.

Don't expect a monster program with huge sprites or scrolls, they are just games made for the fun of coding it.

The first one is "Judge Morry vs. Baldo Midget", an entertaining game for Spectrum, for 2 players, written by na_th_an, Anjuel and Kendroock in just one morning, in April (last year, 2007)

Download it and tell us what you think about it... Here!

We publish today a new article in our series "The ugly duckings of the Spanish Software", which is being writen by The Punisher.

In this time we talk about Juliet Software, a pretty unknown company, despite the fact of having published some famous games, as "El Cid", wich was released in U.K. by Martertronic.

Stay tuned, there will be more ducks on your computer soon!

Sadly, It's only in Spanish for the moment, so, please, use a translator if you want to read it

After the success of the Spectrum version coded by Benway, and after a prudential time to have it perfectly finished for the MSX Dev'07, we've released the MSX version of BeTiled!, coded by Utopian with graphics made by Kendroock.
Our third MSX game has SCC sound and the posibility of playing the game in a MSX 2 taking advantage of the superior graphic quality.
You can comment us your opinions here (even if you are not registered).

Today, it comes to you the third article of "The ugly ducklings of the spanish software", by The Punisher. This time it talks about Xortrapa, a small spanish company (only in Spanish for the moment, please use a translator if you want to read it).

This time we have a new interview, but not a usual one!! We managed to talk to Juan Delcán, known in the world of computers for being the graphist of La abadía del crimen, to many people the best spanish 8 bit game ever.

A very interesting interview conducted by Zemman, and that is now available to read here!

Actually is only available in spanish, but it will be translated soon.

We hope you like it!

Today, it comes to you the second of the succesful articles: "The ugly ducklings of the spanish software", by our writer The Punisher. This time the article talks about OMK (a.k.a. Omikron).

More chapters soon in Computer Emuzone (only in Spanish for the moment, please use a translator).

Usually, in our website it's possible to read interviews made to some of the most important people in the videogame industry of the 80s and 90s, but so far we hadn't had the chance to talk to them in our forums.

Enter now in the conversation thread, so you can join us in this friends meeting between former members of New Frontier, the most prestigious spanish company of the 90s. Talk with McAlby, Robin, Zydro and ask them whatever you want and, if you are registered, download unreleased material these genius are recovering! Don't worry about language, you can write in English too. What are you waiting for?

Today, we publish the first of the succesful articles: "The ugly ducklings of the spanish software", by our writer The Punisher. This time the article talks about G.LL. Software.

If you want to enjoy yourself with these minor and unknown games (sometimes not so minor and not so unknown), you just have to stay tuned to Computer Emuzone. The following chapters of this series will come out soon (only in Spanish for the moment, please use a translator).

So far, there was only available the first version of StratoS, the 8kb ROM coded for the MSXDev'04 competition.

But we solved it and now, in the same game file, we've included the 16kb version. So, don't doubt and download the game in its cardto discover the news within it.

After our last release  (the Spectrum version of the new CEZGS Silver label game, Betiled!), we are proud to announce that the MSX version of the game is about to be finished, thanks to the great job by Utopian and Kendroock.

Some more little details, along with a deep beta-testing process, and you will be able to enjoy this game in the MSX, taking advantage of this computer's characteristics.

It was long ago since we last informed you about what was going on in our retro remakes competition, so those of you that haven't followed the news neither in the forums nor in the retrocompo site won't probably know that some of the projects are already finished and that we have had more entries since the last time we talked about the compo.

So the best thing you can do is go right now see those surprises!
