COMPILE◯ announces Dominon, a previously unreleased game for MSX2

Available on June 22nd at ProjectEGG

Posted on Jun 8, 2017

Moo Niitani, president of COMPILE◯ announced in his Twitter feed today that Dominon, a previously unreleased game for MSX2 computers, will be available at ProjectEGG on June 22nd.

This could be considered a precursor to Puyo Puyo. It's a very simple puzzle game in which domino pieces fall down from the top of the screen. The objective is to make pieces disappear by chaining them in sequential order (1, 2, 3... or 5, 6, 1...). Despite the simple graphics, it has several digitized voices announcing various events in the game.

It was initially intended to be included in one of Compile's Peach Up! erotic disk magazines, but it was never published.

Dominon will sell for 1,000 yen as a digital download. The version available from ProjectEGG runs under Windows.

Very cool indeed. It makes you wonder what unreleased MSX titles are lurking in the shadows of other big software companies. I hope these will get released as well at some point.

So, in 2017, a previously unreleased MSX2 game gets commercially published in Japan? Sore ga totemo suki desu :)

Well, it's a very limited release. The text in the ProjectEGG description explains that they'll sell only 500 copies. Rather than a commercial release, it's more of a curiosity.

But yeah, it's interesting anyway.

Correct. You can see him playing two of them. The first one is a prototype game with several different modes. It has bugs and freezes often. The second one is the one being sold.

This release is digital, and only for Windows (it's embedded in the ProjectEGG emulator).

I don't know whether there will be a physical release.

Somebody said Terra Cresta?
