Скачать или смотреть dIIsk (de idiootste spellen koffers part 2)

At the end of 2011 dutch MSX group Near Dark released dIIsk as a sequel to DISK. As DISK had a rather dull interface borrowed from the Meits' Best Noises series, Meits coded a completely new one. As MSX Basic is the only language he can code in and haven't seriously coded one single bit since somewhere in the mid 90s, this was quite a challenge. After beginning quite structurized it all turned into one giant bowl of spaghetti of sub routines.
Since MSX Basic is a rather slow language, the help of BiFi was requested to code the spectrum analyzer which shows the played notes' pitch in the top screen of the replayer.
Also there's the 50Hz and 60Hz matter. Music plays faster on 60Hz. As the MSX Basic replayer of the used music tracker called Moonblaster never got adapted to play at the same speed on both frequencies BiFi was asked to fix this (only 18 years after the release of Moonblaster someone seemed to care about this ;) )
Opa drew all the graphics. Some of them were already drawn in the early 90s but never used until now. Even the whole intro was already coded and drawn by him while he was a teenager (and now he almost reaches the age of 40 :) ). While it was too good to stay in the shades it was used... And with good reason...

At this very moment another sequel in this saga is being made. Heavily based on the engine of dIIsk since the wheel doesn't need to be invented twice. The planned release should be somewhere in the first month of 2015.
