Silvestro Lo Spazzino Maldestro // MSX

ENGLISH
Before talking about the game, I would like to say something about a weird message you read in game loading (that one saying “Device I/O Error”):
This game is in cassette format, a kind of format even supported by BlueMSX emulator, my favorite one.
This error message I’m talking about is due to an oversight since I forgot to rewind the tape before loading the game (only and exclusively by writing “cload”). In BlueMSX you need to click on the cassette icon and select consequently “REWIND” before loading the game. After rewinding the tape, I retried to write “cload” and finally the game had successfully loaded.
Another important thing is to press Shift and control together while loading the blue MSX basic screen, in order to result in 28815 bytes free.

This game is entirely in Italian and title means “Sylvester the clumsy street cleaner”. Before starting a new game, the game asks you if you play with a keyboard (T) or Joystick (J).
Every level is divided in 4 phases:
THE FIRST ONE where you have to collect trash and avoid ants and apples falling from the trees by jumping onto them
THE SECOND ONE where you have to collect trash and avoid apples while in midair hanging on the balloon
THE THIRD ONE where you have to spray at ants to kill them and
THE FOURTH ONE where you have to collect garbage spawning from the water of the river while avoiding upfalling apples.
After all these phases there’s a bonus screen where you have to choose a number from one to six. If you’re lucky you win some bonus points, otherwise you’ll come across a message that reads “NON HAI VINTO NIENTE” meaning “you didn’t win anything” in Italian. After all this, you advance to the next level. There’s a total of 5 levels before receiving the final message that translates as “Bravo! You cleaned all the city! Overall 49950 pts. Play again? Y/N”
Probably it could look boring at the beginning, but the last 4 levels start to be harder, so I recommend this game to you, if you love games programmed in basic. I know the garbage trolls you just like the ice cream sellers in Turkey LOL

You have two possible ways to have a game over in this game:
1) when all capsules (“pillole”) are gone;
2) when you run out of spray in the third phase of a level.

Enjoy my gameplay and I would like to thank a dear friend called ReBITMagazine for making me discover this game and helping me play it.
