A downloadable game

Pickin'X is a MSX clone of the arcade game of similar name developed by Valadon Automation in 1983.

With gameplay loosely based on the original game, with notable changes in sound, graphics, maps and game rules, in this version you are the Picker and you need to get all of the like-colored blocks into their matching places while avoiding hitting the enemys (Transposer and Killer).

Written in MSX Basic from scratch and compiled using MSXBAS2ROM compiler, this is a MSX1 compatible single player game.
