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!

At the moment we're still awaiting the arrival of the new Shockware titles. Bitwise will be out of office until the end of July, so all orders and mails will go unanswered until that time. Only Saimazoom is still available. Thanks for your support and understanding.

We hope to have better news in August!

We are happy to announce that we will soon distribute no less than four new Shockware titles; being:

• Beepertron by Dioniso
• Magical Stones by Dioniso
• Sudoku by Dvik & Joyrex
• Phantomas Saga Infinity by Karoshi Corporation

Magical Stones was released as an MSXdev'05 game, while Beepertron and Sudoku participated in MSXdev'06.
All games have been prepared for a proper cartridge release; they all come on a real cartridge, with a nice label, shrinkwrapped box - all in full-colour.

Order before June 1st, 2007, and purchase Shockware titles for € 12,- each! On June 1st, the new prices for all Shockware titles will become € 14,50 ex. S&H.

At this moment, Karoshi's Griel's Quest for the Sangraal is sold out, and Karoshi's Saimazoom is nearly sold out. For these games, as well as the new Shockware titles, a delivery time of 2 to 3 weeks is expected.

Sunday February 18th, Bitwise is to participate in the Bonami Retro fair. This is a combined PC and retro fair, demonstrating various systems like Atari, ZX80 and just about anything in between.
Bitwise will go there to - amongst others - demonstrate the MSX system, display and sell our Spanish products and more. Are you going there too? Find out all about the fair's location, and see you all there!

It came like a surprise, on the Nijmegen fair of Saturday January 19th, 2007: Bitwise was there, with a couple of new games to sell! Did you miss out on the fair? You'll soon feel lucky, as you can now buy the new games online as well!

Well then, what games might that be? Of course, MSX fanatics such as yourself have already seen the great MSXdev'05 games Saimazoom and Griel's Quest for the Sangraal, both games from Karoshi Corporation. These games have now been released on cartridge, under the new Shockware label. Have a go at them for only € 12,- each! Order them using our order form.

Are you a developer and would you like to publish your games on cartridge? That is possible in the Shockware programme! There, you'll find out how to get involved in this programme and then it's just a matter of contacting us!

Sounds like a great beginning for 2007, wouldn't you agree?
