MSX Copycat is an adaptation of the classic memory game SIMON, originally created by Ralph Baer and Howard J. Morrison and distributed in 1978 by Milton Bradley (MB).
This game was developed by Alberto (BCO) Sgaggero as part of the Retro Programmers Inside (RPI) and Phaze101 Game Jam.
The game features four large squares in green, red, yellow, and blue. Each colored square is associated with the cursor keys on the MSX keyboard. These squares light up in a random sequence, with each square illuminating also emitting a specific musical note. Once the sequence is complete, the player must reproduce it by pressing the cursor keys corresponding to the position of the icons on the screen (for example, if the upper square lights up, the player must press the "up" cursor key), being careful to reproduce it in the exact same order. If the player succeeds in this task, they will be presented with a new sequence, identical to the previous one but with the addition of a new square/tone; the sequence to repeat becomes progres
Eat as much food as you can. Every time you eat, the snake grows. Use the "O" and "P" keys to turn left or right. If you collide with the edges of the screen or with the snake's body, the game ends.
Fruit Mazes is a simple game for MSX 1, in a 16kb ROM using 16kb of RAM. The goal of the game is to navigate the maze in each stage and pick up all of the fruit in the maze within ten minutes, without touching the walls.
It features omnidirectional smooth scrolling, which is not typical of MSX 1 games since hardware scrolling is not a feature of the TMS9918 video chip used in MSX 1 computers.
The scrolling is achieved by pre-generating multiple sets of patterns, one set for each vertical scroll offset modulo 8, and by setting the TMS9918 pattern base address correspondingly.
The game also has accurate roll-on/roll-off of sprites at all sides of the viewport, achieved by setting the EC bit on every sprite and by pre-generating copies of the sprite patterns with pixels masked out from the right.
There are twelve stages, the second set of six stages has narrower corridors.
When you hit a star on an enemy, a fruit will appear. If you take a fruit, you get a score.
When you touch an enemy, your POWER will decrease.
When the power reaches 0, the game is over.
You, Caroline Phenix, condemned to the depths of hell.
