Paragon_Leon Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Ah.. Ninja. The first semi-3D experience... it was called a graphical masterpiece at the time. Yes, i remember. I remember playing games like Operation Wolf on the MSX; Barbarian on the C64 and...Shadow Of The Beast on Amiga ! But i mostly played MSX games...

duder Posted January 9, 2002 Author Share Posted January 9, 2002 Im so glad someone else remembers 'Ninja'! In all honesty the gameplay was an absolute *****! But the semi 3D environment was so innovative that you had to be seduced by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kudar Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Operation Wolf cool I loved that duder I had all those game too - on my Spectrum 48k I used to like Dizzy and Rockstar ate my Hamster too Leon - Barbarian, is that the game where you fought with swords and you chopped peoples heads off to win?

duder Posted January 9, 2002 Author Share Posted January 9, 2002 I had a speccy 48k too. Dizzy was cool, as was op. wolf (& Thunderbolt). Yup Barbarian was the 1 v 1 sword game. Hold opposite direction and fire to chop their head off! (im officially very sad for remembering that!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kudar Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 MSX is an old Z80-based family of home computers which appeared in autumn 1983 as an attempt to establish a single standard in home computing similar to VHS in video. They were popular in Asian (Korea, Japan) and South American (Brazil, Chile) countries as well as in Europe (Netherlands, France, Spain) and former Soviet Union, but they are virtually unknown in USA. Although MSX standard quietly died to year 1988, the world got to see MSX2, MSX2+ and TurboR extensions of it Created by ASCII in co-operation with Micro$oft it's name is from the language BASIC which was officialy Microsoft BASIC, but changed for this unit and called MicroSoft eXtendend BASIC hence the really catchy name I don't think they were sold in the UK my first BASIC machine was an Acorn Electron, probably a couple of years later than '83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
