❤️‍🔥🕹️Box restoration in progress… wish me luck! 😃👍🏻

I’ve finally got back the other half of my personal collection! 🎉
These are all original games I bought or was given back in the day — Amiga and C64 big boxes from the early ’90s, plus PC classics from the late ’90s / early 2000s 🕹️💾

Now it’s time for a good dust-off and a proper polish ✨
Then they’ll all go neatly onto the new shelves, ready to brighten up my office / mancave 😎🔥

🚀If you love classic arcade platformers… fasten your seatbelt!

Space Bash: Contact!! is a spiritual sequel to Jaleco’s classic RodLand, set in space — and even crazier.

More action. More strategy. More ways to attack and defend.
Levels designed to reward clever tactics, not just fast reflexes.

🌌 Developed for the MSXdev’25 competition, the game runs on any MSX computer with at least 16 KB of RAM, bringing a colorful arcade-style experience to classic 8-bit hardware.

Space Bash: Contact!! is almost here! It was originally planned for release on March 15. However, since the game has been submitted to the MSXdev’25 competition, its public release must wait until the contest’s approval process is completed.

The organizers are reviewing submissions in order of arrival, and due to the record number of entries this year, our game is currently in the queue behind earlier entries.

The wait should only be a few more days, and as soon as the approval process is completed, the game will be published on itch.io.

Thank you for your patience and support, and wish us luck!
