Nice arcade conversion, even though it's actually from 2010. Alternatively, the Amiga version is also highly recommended, see here at 04:05:08.Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Hey there, I hope you don't mind, but I popped gameplay footage of your game into my latest
August 2025 "new games for retro platforms" video. Many thanks for the game.
Sure, no problem! Thanks for the video :) Remember the game was released (for MSX2, cartridge format with a cute box) in 2010, tho.
Excellent! is it using the original code?
Nope. No fun then. And easier to code everything from start than trying to understand other persons' code :D
I have reverse-engineered the Z80 code (2010 too, for a PC remake), too bad :). Also did the amiga conversion using this same code for 1:1 playing experience.
Please, note that the game was released in cartridge in 2010 (out of stock now). Check Paxanga's web for details.
is rom image on this page's download same non-cut version as 2010 cart's ?
Hi, nope,as said at the manual. It lacks option file saving on the same cartridge (cause non-sense on a ROM file and dangerous in case you burn it on a flashcart), and the Cheat Engine, that anyway nobody uses (and still you need a 2nd game to use it). Other than that, it's the same. You have all levels, all options, the extra game...
thanks for reply. so it was full version since 2010.
and thanks again for making such great port. this is what so many sega fans (and maniacs) wanted for looooong time.
Yw! I wanted it since I got my MSX as, before that, I played on the arcade machine. Then when I got the MSX I went to shop to ask if there was Pengo cassette por MSX! They said no! :____( I though that mistake had to be corrected someday. Took me some time, but I did it.
Awesome game!
¡Muuuchas gracias!
Awesome 😎 💯
