ANMA's "Frantic" for the MSX homecomputer is my second victim for an openMSX 'walkthrough' recording.
Detailed info about this game from 1992 can be found at http://www.generation-msx.nl./msxdb/softwareinfo/2417

By using the new 'reverse' feature that's in openMSX, I hope to make this video less boring, since you don't have to watch my mistakes. ;-) 

In Frantic you play Franc, an unemployed guy who spots a job vacancy in the newspaper and with promises of "good payments, great experience and nice treatment", he is lured to 34 Earl road in London.
Once there, he finds himself trapped by Earl Cramp in a hellish hotel filled with demonic creatures such as poisonous pigs, jumping fried pork, terrifying concrete eaters, birds that love to pick your skull and painful water dripping from the ceiling.
Armed with just your spit, you have to carry your tray through several rooms, while picking up powerful jump boots, water to refill your spit, tray covers to protect the guest's order and bombs to blow your way through walls to safely arrive at the captive guests. You'd better make sure you haven't ruined their order though else you'll never find your way home! MWUHAHAHA!

In the first level Franc has to bring a glass of red wine (or 'whine' as Franc calls it at the end of the level) to a 'guest' from Holland.

It was recorded with openMSX 0.7.2-dev-11121 for Mac OS X (Leopard). Get openMSX from http://openmsx.sourceforge.net./
