Chikubi Ninja is an auto-scrolling action-platformer shoot-‘m-up with a groovy PSG soundtrack, where sharp reflexes and quick decisions are key to defeating every opponent. Designed for MSX2, but taking advantage of the MSX2+/turboR scrolling feature if present.

Eric - Retro-inspired Turn Based Tennis Title Hardcourt Balls Announced
https://www.retronews.com/hardcourt-balls-announced/
Tim – PiMiga5 by Chris Edwards has been released, likely to be the last version. This is a BareMetal build of an Amiga emulator system that can be used on lots of different Intel or Arm based systems. It comes in an image you upload to an SD card or USB stick to boot from, you can also install it on an SSD.
Not only does it provide Amiga emulation, but within it, it also emulates early Mac systems and allows you to run early Mac games. You do however need to provide kickstart ROMs to get it working, but if you own Amiga Forever from Colanto then you already have them! Its a great way to breathe new life into old hardware by turning it in to an Amiga.
