Karoshi MSX Community

Instead of a jury of qualified MSX users, this time Karoshi MSX Cummunity users will give 1, 2 and 3 points to its best 3 presented games into a public thread (1 point for your 3rd game, 2 points for the 2nd one and 3 points for your winner). Be sure to register if you want to vote for your favorite MSXdev'13 entries! The winners will result from the sum of every given points: a draw will be solved by opening a public poll.

Registration at this point has become pretty tricky, as bots are flooding the forum with fake registrations, and so they are not automatic: when you register a new user, please contact an admin pointing out your registered username in order to validate your account asap! Thank you for your patience.

Sorry everyone else, Gommy is great and also Stan the Dreamer is catchy, it has been a hard decision to take those out of the votes, my sincere congratulations for them creators! And hey, Malaika is really cool too, but I think it will be pretty strange to vote for her. Overall, a great edition with top games. My reactions at each entry post.

Shouganai: 2 points (I will give 3 if I could, tied with Malaika)
Shmup!: 1 point

I'm sorry not to give points to Gommy. It's a very good game that with the details I said in its thread, for me sure I gave it points. But like are now the games, it's more of my style the other three.

I'm sorry too not to give points to Stan. It could be my favourite game without doubt as I explained in its thread and I will continue playing until I end it!

GOMMY - 3 Points

My votes:

Shouganai - 3 pts
Awesome. Kun give me gameplays that surprise me always. What have you in your mind ? How it works ?
This game makes me think a lot, gives me addiction, makes me nervous, tenses me up  (but i like it ;) )
Please put passwords every 5 stages ! :)

Shmup! - 2 pts
It will be a classics soon. I can't stop to play again and again.  It's a shooter classic, true. But offers new points that makes It become new. Fusion, go back,...surprise me a lot.
If you, Imanok, extend this game to 32ks, different music stages, give it a story and some FX snd like an alarm when you go back... I 'll buy it ! :)

Slender - 1 pts
For his effort to transmit fear in 8 bits.

Gommy -  I can't play this game more that few minutes. His colours confuse me a lot and make me feel my eyes tired. Too much stages doing the same. This game is perfect for a Game & Watch but doesn't give me addiction for MSX plattform. Sorry zilogZ80a

Malaika - Very nice and pretty. I love Tumblepop from DataEast. But I think that is kind of game is not designed for MSX1 plattform. His blinking sprites doesn't like me for a pleasure gameplay. Sorry viejo. ;(

Stan - I can't vote for it :)

Malaika - 1 point

Great to be here!  :) :)

Malaika     - 3 points
Shouganai - 2 points
SHMUP!     - 1 point

This has been the hardest voting I've ever did.
I honestly like all entries this year. And if I could I'd give all entries the same points. But I had to make a choice.
I had a great week playing all the entries!!!! Thanks.

Hello from Kandahar!!!
Here goes our votes.

1 point goes to...Malaika - マライカ (Relevo Videogames)

2 points go to....Gommy Medieval Defender (RW-DMZ-NF)

And finally our 3 points go to....SHMUP! (Imanok)

Great contest and great developers!!!
Congratulations everyone for your work!!!

Shouganai --- 3 points
SHMUP!   ---- 2 points
Gommy    ---- 1 point

So many great games this year!!! Hard to make a choose as there isn't any "bad" entry. Decision decision :-)

Malaika: 3 points
Shmup: 2 Points
Shouganai: 1 Point

Congratulations for the high level of the games of this edition! I suppose some games can improve out of the 16 Kb limitation.

I have taken so long to decide because there is really so high level... But it's the moment to decide:

3 points: "Shouganai - しょうがない" (Paxanga) I'm really hooked to this game. I appreciate the originality and the playability. Technically is really well solved.

2 points: "Malaika - マライカ" (Relevo Videogames) I like the graphics and music. I know playability has been certainly controversial, but I feel OK with it.

1 point "Gommy Medieval Defender" (RW-DMZ-NF) This is another game I have been hooked to. It's a version of spectrum and that is some-way noticeable. But I like it.

The rest of games are great also! I have been so hard to decide... Sorry guys!

An excellent edition, it's not evident to guess who will be the winner !

SHMUP!: 3 points - MSX had to be 30 to find the quintessence of shooters.
Stan: 2 points - I was just waiting for a game like this in MSX. Thanks! ( But I want more, though!)
Shouganai: 1 point - Absolutely addictive!

My congratulations to all contestants, it has been very difficult to vote; if I voted again in 5 minutes I would doubt again and probably my decisions would be different ;)

Shmup! X3
Shouganai X2
Slender X1

Thanks to everyone for the effort in making games for MSX!!!!

Well, here are my votes

Shouganai: 3 points
SHMUP!: 2 points
Malaika: 1 point

PD: All games works on turboR machines, I tested all of them ;)

There are here my votes:

Shouganai: 3 points.
Very original concept game. In videogames industry, not only in MSX, it's so amazing to see original things like Shouganai.

SHMUP!: 2 points.
Another example of new and original ideas applied to an existing videogame genre.

Slender: 1 point.
It's difficult to keeps mystery and stress in a MSX game, Slender get it done.

Congratullations to all of entries ^_^. (Sorry for the "Huelva" english :P)

SHMUP! 3 points
Stan 2 points
Shouganai 1 Point

My votes are:

• Gommy Medieval Defender: 3 points
• Shouganai: 2 points
• Stan, the Dreamer: 1 points

Thank's very much to all contestants and organizers!

My votes:

SHMUP! - 3 points
Malaika - 2 points
Shouganai - 1 point

Are you from Huelva? ...

I was thinking of no voting at all, since I see there's too much work there and they also are really nice games. I think it's not fair giving 3, 2 and 1 point to three games, leaving the others with no points ... So I would give 3 to all of them. But since we have some rules I'll cast my votes:

3 points: Malaika - マライカ (Relevo Videogames)
2 points: SHMUP! (Imanok)
1 point:  Gommy Medieval Defender (RW-DMZ-NF)

Really nice work, guys. Shouganai, Slender ans Stan stuff; sorry. You also have really good games. Thanks again.
