Other Things to Do with X68000

[dominicelliott]

Hello, I've been enjoying a pack of games in hdf format for quite some time and I was wondering if there's other interesting things in hdf format. Like music players or demoscene stuff. Does that exist anywhere? I see a lot cool music players in YouTube x68000 videos, but I'm not sure where to get hdf versions.

I think most hdd images come with some music bundled in. Mostly in the form of mdx files, and a certain mdx music player. Do a search and I am sure you will find them.

Demo scenes are a western thing, so, as far as I know you won't find anything of the sort made for Japanese systems, it simply just never was a part of Japanese PC culture. I suppose the closes thing is homebrew games like Cho Ren Sha, where the developers got to flex their programming muscles.
