SD Yab Yum

After its initial release on the FutureDisk, the game SD Yab Yum gets transferred to a physical SCC ROM cartridge. The game will first be available at the MSXgoto40 event. The publication is in the hands of French retro computer company Côté Gamers.

If you'd ask any MSX geek about the best games for the platform, you can be damn sure that SD-Snatcher will be mentioned. As one of their last games, and considered a goodbye gift by the scene, Konami delivered a solid MSX2 game with awesome SCC ditties. On the other hand, if you'd ask that same z80 fanatic about the most absurd game, chances are you'd get Yab Yum as an answer. This Dutch eighties iconic game was named after the Amsterdam sex Club Yab Yum. The game is, indeed, about naked activities.

Have both of these two games combined, and you'll end up with a hilarious game with excellent graphics, sound and gameplay. And that is exactly what the FutureDisk crew has done; mixing them up to a new cocktale called Super Deformed Yab Yam, or SD Yab Yum for short. So, to the question "but, will it blend?", the answer is clear: yes, it will!

SD Yab Yum - Final Load (as it is dubbed), circles around the good old hanky-panky thing. Or, like Fred said, "it's all about the nookie". That's right, plain coitus, fornication, copulation, intercourse, bonking or any other term for the oldest sport in the world. Score while scoring a chick or shooting your load by shining the helmet. If you've played the original Yab Yum, you'll recognize the format. The game is presented in Super Deformed mode using MSX2 screens with SCC+PSG sound. Last year, SD Yab Yum was published digitally on FD46, and now it's time to get physical (no pun).

The game will be released as an original MSX ROM cartridge with onboard SCC. In fact, the cartridge is based on the recently released Yamanooto design. You can even use the cartridge as a normal SCC for other purposes if you do wish.

This extended “Final Load” edition contains new, special levels, new rooms, new graphics and music, and you get the option to play in your desired language (English, Spanish, Italian, Dutch or Portuguese). The game SD Yab Yum runs on MSX2 with minimum 128kB RAM and 128kB VRAM.

The set is now available as pre-order, and costs €35. You'll get a full color boxed cartridge for that. It premieres at MSXGOTO40, December 9th, at the FD booth. People who pick up the game at goto40 will receive a bonus present. After that, it is available at Côté Gamers to be sent world wide.
