RetroGaming Shorts Part 069 - Uchu Yohei
Uchu Yohei 2023 (MSX)
Art inspiration! Uchu Yohei has a quasi-vector graphics look. This aesthetic is suitable for all sorts of platforms, including just plain old modern "indie" games.

RetroGaming Shorts Part 065 - Mutants from the Deep
Mutants from the Deep 2021 (MSX)
This game has pixel art worth studying. The backgrounds and most bosses show ways to use pixel art where each 8x1 pixel tile is restricted to only two colors. There are numerous sprites showing how to do two colors sprites (two overlapping single color sprites).
RetroGaming Shorts Part 062 - Fire Town
Fire Town 1987 (MSX)
I haven't seen any info on Fire Town, which looks a lot like Rise Out From Dungeons. Basically like Lode Runner, but not quite. Puzzle platformers are pretty popular today, but it's also cool to look at real old school puzzle platformers for game design inspiration.
Fire Town and Rise Out show how small modifications to the "rules" and goals can really change things up compared to Lode Runner.

RetroGamingShorts part 035 - Rise Out From Dungeons
Rise Out From Dungeons 1983 (MSX)
Another Lode Runner style puzzle platformer, but looks are deceiving. Despite the visual similarity to Lode Runner, Rise Out has very different tactics that revolve around figuring out how to guide the enemies in ways that let you get around them.
Unlike Lode Runner, the enemies simply try to head toward you, which greatly simplifies how to guide them, but also makes it difficult to do so in a way that you aren't trapped. Also unlike Lode Runner, you can't dig a hole right next to you, which is the usual way you escape your pursuers (you simply dig a hole next to you, so the enemy falls into it, and then you can walk over).
RetroGaming Shorts Part 018 - Nemo 1983 Andrew Key Continental Software
Nemo 1983 (Memotech MTX)
I haven't found much info on this game, but it's plainly a clone of Jeff Minter's Gridrunner ... but rethemed to an ocean setting and with terrain that mixes things up.
I actually love the retheme ... you've got shark fins for the main enemies, and the green water is ... eh, okay I don't know what's up with that.
The MTX had hardware similar to MSX, but I don't know whether Nemo had any port to MSX or other similar hardware (such as ColecoVision/Adam).

Présentation de mon #Amiga1200 équipé de sa carte accélératrice #68030 cadencée à 50 Mhz et de 16 Mo de RAM.
A l'intérieur j'utilise une carte Compact Flash de 4 Go pour stocker le système d'exploitation, le #Workbench, quelques #jeux et #démonstrations...
Et comme vous êtes sages, je vous montrerai comment la #GameBoy, le #MSX ou encore la #Sega #MasterSystem peuvent se retrouver sur un Amiga :)

RetroGamingShorts part 014 - Moai no Hihou
Moai no Hihou (Secret Treasure of Moai) 1986 (MSX)
This is another action puzzle game which serves as inspiration for my ghost story/magical realism themed puzzle game, along with Princess Rescue and Deepest Sword
The basic mechanic is that you can hammer a red stone and this causes any supported red stones to fall down. I'm not really sure how I'll incorporate this, but I really like how such a simple mechanic really makes you think in order to make it through a level.
