Telethugs MSX

Telethugs is a “run and gun” game originally created and published for PC by Pedro Paiva in 2019, now converted to MSX and ZX Spectrum by Amaweks. This is the first genuine result of our partnership on "Most Hated in Gaming", and it was also made as a tribute to Pedro's extensive work as a game developer.

The game is available in English or Portuguese, 50Hz or 60Hz, in disk or ROM format.

Improvements in the MSX version compared to the ZX:

• Twice the FPS
• More colorful and detailed backgrounds
• Sprites with more precise sprite movement
• PSG sound effects instead of beeper
• Jukebox screen to listen to each track separately
• In each stage you now control a different Telethug (player sprite colors change)
• Aiming up and jumping are now on separate commands (2 button joysticks).

You need to use real hardware or an MSX emulator to run the game. Use your preferred emulator or visit: https://webmsx.org/ (The emulator supports USB controllers and full screen via the icon in the bottom right corner)
