Game seen in a screenshot of a magazine

I'm looking for a game called 'Q.Mission' in the issue 8 of the italian magazine 'Program MSX'

[www.generation-msx.nl]

The name is false, but I haven't found it in any screenshot available in this site...

Any idea? Thanks

This is an easy one! 5:oD

Game´s name is of course STARQUAKE by english software house BUBBLEBUS (c) 1985.

And you probably haven´t found it from here because there is no screenshots yet for this game in generation-msx.

Can I ask you to identify certain games in those magazine screenshots?


N:o 2

JORGE (is this Manes?)
BLASTAR
EL MELON (pineapplin?)
ANDROMEDA (northstar?)

N:o 3

BUTTERFLY (Elidon?)
NIGHTMARE (knightlore?)

N:o 5

MIKE BANNION (Disk Warrior?)
USA FOOTBALL
EXTRA PAC (pacman or clone?)
AIR COMBAT

N:o 6

ASPIRAPOLVERE (vacuumania?)
DANGEROUS RACE (Lazer bykes?)

N:o 7

SUPER GALLO (chicken chase?)
DESTRIAZIONE IGNOTA (the heist probably?)

N:o 8

R. GORILLA ZI RIPROVA (how many donkey kong clones there are for MSX? as this can´t be CONGO as beast´s head looks colourful, or is it just because screenshot is so small? and n:o 6´s LA BELLA E LA BESTIA surely is ocean´s Donkey Kong)

N:o 9

RAIDS
ESCAPE FROM UNDERGRO
MAGI DELLA FORESTA

N:o 10

OLI (oil´s well?)
CARLINO LO SCOIATTOLO

Thanks a lot! I'm asthonished... I've spent at least two/three hours to find somewhere in internet a picture of that game starting only from my memories! But my only result was that magazine's screenshot!

About your question, I'll help you asap. Some of your hypotesis are true (for example Disc Warrior and Pineapplin)...

I´m glad I could help you!

It was an easy one, as Starquake was one of cassette games I got as my birthday presents in my teens. :-)

Hello! I've looked all the screenshots of your list, but I was only able to confirm most of your hypotesis and add the name 'Feud' near 'Maghi della foresta'.
All the others games are unknown to me... About 'Andromeda', I've seen it somewhere but with another name, not 'northstar'.

Sorry, I remembered it wrong, I meant Polar Star! 5:o)

[www.generation-msx.nl]

another picture can be found at:

[www4.airnet.ne.jp]

Issue 2 -> BLASTAR seems to be Adonis (it has another name I cannot remember - it is a gradius like game)

Issue 9 -> Raids seems to be Dr. Archie

Hello,

RAIDS isn't Dr.Archie.
RAIDS is the pirate version of RAMBO.

I have both Raids and Rambo and they're the same game!


If you like Raids, I suggest you to play Dr. Archie, too (very similar game).

Ciao padovan,

go visto che te domandi info su zoghi MSX, te pol domandar anca nea mailing list msxitalia o direttamente a mi, che fae backup de vecie cassette dell'edicola.

ciao!
