We've just been contacted through both Facebook and Twitter that if you head on over to the latest MSXDev competition, you can download or play online the MSX 2 game of 'Eggy's Maze'. A game that isn't just very challenging, but it's a puzzle game by Jacco Bikker in which you have to traverse the many levels to find missing eggs scattered throughout! To coincide with this news, as ever Saberman has done a short video showing the game in action.
Here is what the website says about the game in brief "With this year’s free-style edition, where games for every MSX generation are allowed, we do see more entries following that recipe. This game is intended to run on MSX2 or higher, using some unique MSX2 features like the use of the battery powered memory to save progress, for example. The player needs to solve a playfield which scrolls vertically, with 30 screens in total to solve. Collect the scattered eggs in the field, using wit and logic to take the right approach. Do be careful when you found all eggs, an alarm is raised and guards will prevent you to progress to the exit".

This game's protagonist reminds me a lot of the game Adventures of Lolo(and its sequels) for the MSX. The game in Japan is called Eggerland and perhaps it was really the inspiration for this game.
