Unfortunately, it's not available for sale anymore. Please, don't ask me where you can get it yourself. The WOOMB release supports the R800 processor of MSX turbo R machines, which makes the gameplay much, much more smoother and enjoyable. This playthrough makes use of that. This playthrough uses an exploit (which I figured out myself some years back) to gain experience points and money faster, which makes for a shorter video. This exploit is done in the base game without any additional tools, and has been tested to work on real MSX systems (thanks SkyeWelse!). Basically, what you do is to keep LEFT, RIGHT, and SPACE keys pressed down simultaneously, while an enemy is on your left side, stuck between you and a solid object. Make sure that you're not trying to do this with too strong enemies or else the trick won't work. Feares Town, as it's called in this translation, should actually be called Fearless Town (Microcabin's official romanization) -----------------------------­­--------­--­­-----------------­-­----------------­-----­-­----­--­ Links: ====== SkyeWelse's Xak fansite: http://retro-type.com/xyz/xak.htm
