Thanks to Julio Marchi for this space in MSX All
 


  Games in Basic published by some magazines around the world.

  Notes:
  • The Basic codes are in ASCII format.
    • Due to this format, they may take some time to load.
    • The ASCII format was adopted to allow code studying on PC.
    • To save in common Basic format, just load file on MSX and save WITHOUT ",A" option.
  • Some programs had to be fixed or improved.
  • In case of out of memory when load/run a program, boot MSX holding the control key.
