The drop of Abu-Cymbel - An MSX nod to a very difficult game of 'Abu-Simbel Profanation'

Abu Simbel Profanation was the third in the Johnny Jones Saga and was released in 1985 for the Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and MSX. It was regarded as one of the most difficult games of Spanish Software History. Well if you remember this very frustrating yet enjoyable game, will be pleased to know that joesg has released via the MSXdev24 competition, the MSX game of The drop of Abu-Cymbel: A humorous reference to an all time classic cranking the difficulty up to 11. To coincide with this news, if this sounds like your sort of game, then make sure to check the gameplay footage below.

Here's the latest from the competition page. "Today we have: The Drop of Abu-Cymbel. A platformer of insane difficulty set in a pyramid, with an insane drop....and that is where the similarities end. Most importantly, The Drop has been upgraded to a whole new level! The hero that can save the day is Missisipi Juan, but unfortunately he’s not available at the moment, so you have to play with Caconi Di’Merda, which is literally just a poop on a stick, but at least it can talk. Are you brave enough to accompany Caconi in his dangerous adventure?"
