From July 28th till August 9th, we will be out of office. As soon as we get back, your mails and orders will be answered!

On Sunday, October 5th, 2008 Bonami is organizing a retro fair. We will be there, showing and selling our latest games on cartridge and of course the other items in our product line.

The fair will be held in Wijkcentrum De Stolp, Violierenplein 101 in Apeldoorn (The Netherlands). Entrance to the fair is only € 1.-!

We are pleased to announce three new games in the Bitwise games programme:

• Night Driver by Karoshi
• Box Boy by IconGames
• Montezuma's Revenge by IconGames

All games have the usual price tag of € 14.50, but have not been placed on the order form. Instead, if you'd like to have one of these three games, please send us an e-mail or use the contact form. We intend to do a major site update sometime soon and will have this resolved by then.

A few days ago, at the MadriSX 25th Anniversary Event, Matra announced that FLAX was to be released soon. FLAX is a new type of Flash cartridge for your MSX, a device to which you can upload your favorite game ROM images in order to play them from cartridge! Its features are:

• 1024kB Flash ROM
• ASCII 8kB mapper
• Enable/disable button

This device will cost you only € 25,- ex. S&H and will come in a nice package -- just as you are used to see from Matra. As soon as we have a batch, we will be able to take orders, so watch this space!

In anticipation on the MSX Fair Nijmegen 2008, we are happy to announce that we again have a new Shockware title to release on the fair. A prehistoric princess is coming to get you: Malaika is ready to rock your world!

The game will go on sale on the MSX fair, January 19th 2008. In the meantime, you can place your orders here, they will be processed as of January 19th. Also new on the order form is Jungle Hunt - you don't have to go into the trouble of contacting us if you want the game; order for it and we will contact you instead! We regret to inform you that we've only got limited number of issues per game left. If you want to make sure to get your hands on one of our games, be sure to check out the MSX fair in Nijmegen, as it could take a while before our stock is updated again!

We hope to see you all next Saturday!

The MSX fair in Bussum (see photo shoot here) was a huge success, with five new Bitwise Shockware titles on sale! Four of them had already been announced (see post of Thursday, 24th of May). A week or two before the fair, these games dropped in at Bitwise HQ and we found a pleasant surprise: Jungle Hunt from Icon Games was sent along as well! Released as a Bussum surprise, it was well-received.

We found out that - unfortunately - we forgot about updating the news section accordingly. So, here it is: the world now knows that Jungle Hunt is for sale at the Bitwise Web HQ! If you'd like to have your own Jungle Hunt cartridge, please send us a mail or use the contact form. As any other Shockware title, its price is € 14,50 ex. S&H costs. The game has not been included on the order form, so again, send us a mail if you want that game!
