MSX1 games 2005-2006

U:U, the final-final version I assume? (the one with the bugfix in level 5)

Good idea to make a disk with the recent games.

I was reading about the meeting, too bad the video with dvik's presentation and SymbOS wasn't available. Would it be possible to put it somewhere to download (a personal site, rapid share, torrent, emule, whatever)? I really would like to see this video.

NYYRIKII: Please, don't think that freeware seems 'free distributable'. Please, I kindly ask you to remove our games from that compilation, as several websites have asked us kindly to put our games online -a thing that you did not do- and we denied: our games are freeware, all we ask is people to visit our site to know more about us. You can get or games at the MSXDEV Team website also, but that's just because, as the contest's rules state, the MSXDEV Team are automatically liscenced to distribute all games entering the contest. Note that I'm just talking about Karoshi Corporation games... I have no idea about what the other games' authors think about your compilation, but I suggest you that, at least, ask them permission.

viejo_archivero: My opinion is that if you want your games to be removed from the compilation it only makes harder for the audience to know about your stuff. I had never heard of any karoshi corporation stuff before I went to the party (I'm pretty new to the scene) and obtained the disk. After trying your games I visited your website for more information.
And I just downloaded your game PONG, which I have never earlier heard of also. (and this happened because I saw a picture of "pong" on the MSXRio2k6 -photoshoot and there was your name on the picture.)
Your posting gave me a bit negative feeling of "Karoshi". Especially because you now want the games to be removed.

I have ran to this question earlier myself also, because I play in a band and we are not popular or commercial. I have noticed that when people first hear our song from somewhere and like it, they'll then come and visit our wepages for more info. It is extremely rare for people to just come to our site and download some songs without knowing what they'll get.
But this is just how I think these things work better.

Anyway I respect your opinion. This was just a thought. ...And if you wish not to be "marketed" in any way then I'll understand it too.

PS: www.thinknet.biz/biisit/Tango.mp3 If anyones interested :)

viejo_archievo: Yes, it is a nice thing to ask about such things.

Don't worry, I'll keep supporting karoshi corporation (read: playing your games and visiting your pages) anyway.
I just felt this topic pretty familiar, because of our "promotion" -related subjects of which I had these thoughts about.
