Andrey Rodionov
Description
:
Back to the Earth is a space adventure game with some arcade elements. Major Pistoletov and Pistoletov at Factory are adventure games, while Danceroid is a maze adventure. All four projects belong to the roguelike genre, so the worlds are procedurally generated. First released in the late '80s by the same author, the games received significant improvements in 2022. The games are compatible with physical MSX and MSX2 computers, but can also run on BlueMSX and OpenMSX emulators. The loader and the Danceroid game support mouse input when played on MSX2. The disk contains English and Russian versions for MSX, three bonus games for MSX2, and an English manual.

Description
:
Everyone is familiar with matching games where you look for pairs of tiles. By now, those have gotten pretty old and tedious. Here's a different take where you match three tiles sharing a common theme: kittens, airplanes, dinosaurs, UFOs, and so on. Each of the eight levels is password-protected. You get the password for the next level by beating the previous one. Special thanks to Shadow Maker for testing the game and providing feedback for improvements.
