More levels and more fun for Cube Droid with Holiday Special

Cube Droid is a puzzle game published last year by bitsofbas making its debut at the MSXGoto40 event in ROM cartridge format.

In this second generation MSX game we take on the role of a small droid whose mission is to collect the batteries that appear scattered around the stage and escape to the next level. At first it seems like an easy mission but nothing could be further from the truth, as things quickly become more interesting in terms of difficulty level and the puzzles that it presents us will make us rack our brains hard.

For those who are still craving more Cube Droid, the developer has released a Christmas version with additional levels. To play it, you don't need to finish the original or own it, as it is completely independent.

In addition to the 24 new levels , this game comes with other “gifts”:

  • The game's code regarding saving games has been conveniently modified so that if the game is recorded on a ROM cartridge, the games are automatically saved in the flash memory of the cartridge itself as the player completes the different screens. This is something, for me, remarkable and desirable in games today and I would like to see it implemented in future projects.
  • A new type of teleportation box that disappears when the alarm is activated.
  • Alternative Christmas melody created for the occasion by Jorito.
  • New design of the protagonist robot sprite.

openMSX updated with new interface (v 20.0) openMSX is the oldest MSX emulator . It's been with us for many years, and while it's had a reputation for being somewhat cumbersome to use by some less experienced users (myself included), today it's by far the best alternative to using a real machine. Throughout its existence, it has had to compete with other competitors (fMSX, ruMSX, MarsMSX Meisei, BlueMSX, etc.) that haven't made things easy for it. The latter, BlueMSX, was my choice for a long time due to its user-friendly interface and ease of use, without having to install the BIOS for the different MSX models ( System ROMs ), for example. When BlueMSX stopped being updated, I decided to give openMSX a try, better understanding how it worked in order to take full advantage of the huge number of options it has. This way, I managed to forget about BlueMSX and embrace openMSX as my favorite emulator to this day. This version 20.0 of openMSX debuts a new graphical user interface that is a complete revolution. The debugger and Catapult, which until now were separate programs, are now integrated into the emulator itself . Although they will continue to be available for download from the emulator's official website, the team has already announced that they will no longer be updating them. All the options of these Catapult and the debugger are integrated into openMSX. In addition, all the other options offered by the emulator are now accessible via a menu bar at the top of the screen. It couldn't be more convenient and simple. I'm very glad that openMSX has taken the path of being more user-friendly with an interface that, while not spectacular, more than meets expectations in a program like this. The path has already been laid out, and we'll see how it evolves in upcoming updates. A full description of the updates and changes made in this version can be found at this link .
