Well done John. I really appreciate your music covers. Even much more within games.

Thanks, I guess? But this isn't a cover? At least, I sure hope not! Haha. I hope you don't think all of my songs are covers.

Yes, sorry. But that´s even greater. You did a lot of unique compositions and also some game inspired rearrangements, so I wasn´t sure. Anyway, I like your music.

Thank you hamlet, I really appreciate that. I just was a little confused.

I'm really happy to finally some more V9990 software! And quite smart how you programmed it: just make your own basic subroutines that OUT the data to the V9990. Great job!

Thank you, but the idea is originally from tvalenca and hit9918 who gave me the "rosetta stone" to be able to start understanding and controlling the v9990 from basic.
They will get a free digital copy of the game and the source code to use at their will.

The bas file seems to be corrupted. What a pity, I was eager to learn something new...

Are you sure? Hmm, I downloaded it and it looks fine, but it doesn't work properly. OK, just checked, it indeed got corrupted. I have an old backup of FUNet and there it is still OK. I'll contact the owner of the site.

http://www.msxarchive.nl/pub/msx/demos/basic_compo/plaztik.zip also contains it, but there it has the _TURBOON and _TURBOOFF commented out, so please enable it to see it in full glory.

This one works, thanks!
Very nice plasma effect for msx1 on screen 1!
(the only msx2 function used is the color palette redefinition)
Very good full screen animation speed on turbo basic thanks to the out commands.
As I learned during Highway fighter engine development, using outs is much faster than using bios commands.
