With MSX-BASIC, you can do so many things ! Time to discover again the games whose the listings were published in the multisystem HEBDOGICIEL French magazine … In nummers 76 and 77 of 29 March and 2 April 1985, we can find Tom et Chérie, created by Jean-Pierre Marin, it’s a completely crazy action game where Tom must improvise himself as plumber, acrobat and bomb expert to allow his Darling to take a bath in full tranquillity !

Thanks to MäSäXi and his comment on the MSX Resource Center, we can precise that this game is a conversion of the arcade game Frisky Tom, published by Nichibutsu in 1981.

The game is provided in DSK and ROM versions, with the source code, the original listing in the magazine and the explanations. K versions are for the keyboard, J versions for the joystick. The mapper type for the ROMs is KonamiSCC.
