A fantastic 100% machine langage action game. You can not only complete successive stages but also organize personal competitons by creating your own stages.

I-ve been stuck on level 15 for months now, and i-m about to admit that the 15th level is actually impossible.
From level 10 to 15 the difficulty grows exponentially and every level needs you to know every mechanic the game has to offer. I-ve been searching the web for DAYS and couldn-t even find a screenshot of the impossible level 15. I can-t sleep at night knowing that there could be a solution to that level. I-m gonna try to contact the developer if i don-t get any answers.

The Thomson home computers were only a partial success in France, and almost nowhere else.
The majority of Europe ignored these machines since we already had better 8-bit systems like the Atari XL range, C64, BBC Micro, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC computers.
That said, the Thomson range of microcomputers make a nice rare addition to retrogaming hardware collections, alongside other -also-ran- systems like the Oric Atmos and Coleco Adam computers.

First of all the cover seems 100 tines more awesome than the actual game.
And second, at first I was thinking I prefer it when you make longer videos. (even though I can fully appriciate the amount of work you must put into them)
But these quickie reviews often open my eyes to games and systems I was completely unaware of and shows games that perhaps don't warrant a full review.
As always great video and hope there are many more to come: .

I think this game is a metaphor for the mistreatment of the asian people that emigrated to the western countries, as evidenced by the yellow player character (asian) and the white enemies (men of the western cultures) attempting to catch the the player and take their life (the almost enslavement of the asian people in ow paying, dangerous jobs. Also, this is all a big joke with an extremely overthought line of reasoning.

We had Thomson MO5 computers in my school when I was little. Or were there Tomson TO7 computers?
Anyway, we usually played a game with a cow in a field with flowers on the screen. The goal was to 'touch' the flowers on the screen with some special pen to make the flowers disappear (first the petals, then the base.
I loved it because it was 'magical' to use this pen on the screen in the 80s. :p

The AI looks a lot more basic than Lode Runner, they seemed to wander around a bit more in that game, but this just looks like 'if the player is higher than me, go up, if he is left of me go left' with enemies stopping half way up ladders or landing still if they can't reach you directly much of the time.
Still, a cool look at a pretty obscure system!

First time I played this game I was 4, it was the first game i owned. The fun part is I didn't play the machine featured on this video: there was another obscure computer that was a rebranded M05 called PC128 made by Olivetti in Italy. It was an interesting little computer, but I always had trouble finding games for it.

I'd heard of the MO5 but never used one or seen one in operation. My first thoughts here were that it reminds me of the spectrum, it even appears to suffer from the color bleeding as well. I really like the box art. Now, I think I'll go and study this MO5.

I -have- heard of this machine, but only because I have an Android app that adds 80s-era computer effects to photos, and the Thomson is one of the choices offered. Before I had the app I didn't even know there was a French home computer.
