The game Shiper has been disqualified from MSXdev25 due to extensive use of existing third-party source material and without proper credit.
At the MSXdev front desk, we just received Gamecast’s latest creation, delivered special by courier. It’s a vertical space shooter that tests your nerves. If you’re a fan of his work, this one is sure to be another treat.
Over the years, our dev staff has enjoyed a solid stash of Gamecast’s MSX game productions. The Italian-made software has kept us hooked with each edition. This year is no exception, as the author has already delivered his fourth game for the run. With Shiper, we set off, just like in his previous game, on another space adventure, but this time aboard a true battleship called Shiper.
Blast through waves of enemy ships piloted by sinister aliens. Power up your weapons by grabbing POW pods that drop from time to time. Clear out the swarm of foes, and you’ll take on the level’s massive mothership boss. Aim, fire, and KABOOM! your way to the next level.
Gamecast ensured that players around the world could enjoy his latest game by including a bilingual manual. No need to CTRL boot this time, though, just pop in that 32K ROM and blast away, captain.
