I am finishing my 3rd MSX port for the CV, Magical Tree.
Magical Tree is a nice platform game, which requires a lot of strategy and quick reflexes. The game features several different enemies and bonus items which need to be gathered while the player control the little indian and try to reach the magical tree top, 2000 meters above the ground!
If I am luck enough, I hope to release these games sometime in the next few months....

I am finally taking a little vacation and will stay away from my mundane work for about 2 weeks. There will be enough time to finish a few projects...
First of all, I will ship the last 10 or so SIC pre-orders early next week. After it SIC will be out of stock for a while, till I have more PCBs available.

Sky Jaguar is finished, as is Ping-Pong. I have added a few corrections and improvements for both games. Here is a list:

Sky Jaguar
- Added ColecoVision intro screen.
- Konami intro screen changed so it looks more like later releases (to keep consistency)
- Small graphic glitch corrected in the hammer ship
- Original AY-3-8910 sound fully emulated. No audible differences.
- Opening screen message "Push space key" changed to "Press fire to play".

Ping-Pong
- Added ColecoVision intro screen.
- Computer controlled player name changed from "MSX" to "CPU".
- Added legs to the table, so it looks more like the arcade version.
- Original AY-3-8910 sound fully emulated. Surprising good "ball" sound.

Aside the above games, I also have Magical Tree and both Yie-Ar Kung Fu games under development, though the 2nd YAKF, The Emperor Yie-Gah, will need bank-switching. I am not sure about when I will be able to release all those games, as I have already learned programming is just a small part of the whole process... And of course there is Pac-Man Collection too...

Hey, I have a small suggestion for ping pong:

Make the shadow color on the title screen (under the table and penguin) for the coleco version the same as the arcade version.

Whatever you do, Ed, DON'T change the Konami logo to the dorky new one they're using now!

Those games make me want to get a Colecovision so I can play them.
