Finally is here!. The MSX version of Phantomas Saga: Infinity has been released and it is ready for download!.

This videogame, originally released for ZX Spectrum, was presented early this year in MadriSX & Retro (http://www.msx.org/Infinity-for-MSX.newspost3838.html) fair by CEZ GS Team (http://cezgs.computeremuzone.com), the development group from the well-known spanish gaming portal Computer Emuzone (http://www.computeremuzone.com). The game itself got the attention of various game developers from different systems, and they started to work on different versions of the game, trying to get the best of each computer mantaining the spirit of the game, with the intention of create a multi-platform game, just like software houses made in our beloved golden age of 8 bits. For now, there are 3 versions of the game out and ready: ZX Spectrum 48/128 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zx_spectrum), Amstrad CPC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amstrad_CPC) and MSX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX), but there are people working on game versions for other platforms such PC, MSX2 and more.

The MSX game version of Phantomas Saga: Infinity (http://cezgs.computeremuzone.com/ficha.php?id=10) has been quite particular, because it has been developed by a third-party team. Karoshi Corporation (http://www.karoshicorp.com), in direct cooperation with the original author of the ZX game and several CEZ GS members, has been the development team to do the task of making the MSX version, including lots of add-ons to the game in order to use the MSX capabilities: game code rewritten in assembler, colorful graphics with backgrounds, hardware sprites, graphic effects, and more.

In this old-school platformer, you, as Phantomas, have to destroy the Thief Androids Factory activating the ten auto-destruction devices the building has, the BOLTs: Binaural Onslaught Light Transmitters, located in highly restricted areas. Each BOLT needs a key to be activated. Your job is to find 10 keys to use them in the 10 BOLTs. Once the 10 devices are activated, you'll have 30 seconds to run outside the factory, because after that time has passed the factory will explode in a million of fragments.

Go grab it here!!! (http://cezgs.computeremuzone.com/ficha.php?id=10)
