The story...
------------
In the year of 1985-1990, a relative of mine
(Bengt Johannesson) decided to get creative and started
experimenting with assembly & machine code language
for the MSX. After hacking around for some while he bought
a new MSX, namely MSX-2 and started writing games for
it. These games were very good games that loaded off
disks, but sadly they were never published. 

A week ago or so I asked my relative if he had any
attention to release his games on the internet...
Since nowadays he's a very busy man he asked me to go
release them for him. He also stated that he didn't want
all the attention so he didn't want me to publish his
e-mail address. (Yet anyway...)
