Impressive. The enhancement patch not only provides smooth scroll and better colors, it also makes the game harder as everything moves faster... and the original game is already quite difficult! So kudos for an awesome gameplay. When I was a teenager I was able to finish this game with one single life, in my Canon V-20 and armed with my Telemach (awesome times!); nowadays I would need plenty of cheats, and that assuming that I could somehow get the time to play... aw, aging sucks! 😅

🤣🤣 yeah. Salamander is a really hard game, but it pulls the MSX hardware to the strings. And the SCC music is for sure one of the best OST ever, not only for an 8 bit game. We are lucky to taste this great game in its original hardware. Ahhh, such a good times.

I don't actually care that much about smooth scrolling, and you're genuinely going to need a GameMaster, but MSX Salamander is the absolute pinnacle of 8-bit, intense shooters. Never bettered before or after.

As far as I know, this is the good ending (with Nemesis 2 cartridge in slot 2). Here I found two endings: www.vgmuseum.com/end/msx/a/sala.htm But now you have sown the seed of doubt and I need to check if there is another ending. Did you try it?

@@jperformerretrofuture961 pretty sure it has no different ending on the extend play. Remember playing it back at the day (with invencibility cheat) exactly because I was really pissed with the "Bad ending" and thought a new playthrough would show a better end (Like, say The Legend of Kage actually did). Unless my memory is playing me tricks 30+ years later, It doesn't. Operation X will only open if you get the "Crystal Breeze" item which only shows up if you have Nemesis/Gradius 2 cartridge in slot 2. The Crystal Breeze is in a random "prediction" location everytime you play. And Operation X level uses Nemesis 2 graphics. Back then you couldn't even patch the game to open up this level without the cartridge exactly because it required data from the Nemesis 2 cartridge. Of course nowadays we can patch whatever we want :)

This patch already uses the MSX2+ Turbo mode. More depth of color would really suit good this game. What I don't agree with is the issue of MSX AUDIO: for my taste the SCC literally pisses in the face of the MSX AUDIO.
