	We've got another rather obscure release here, in the form of Korean Zemina's attempt to convert cult early arcade game Xevious to SG-1000/MSX1 type hardware. Humbly titled, Xevious / The Micro Xevious (마이크로 제비우스) for the Samsung Gam*Boy / Master System is indeed a rather feeble port considering the gap of the years between the 1982 original running on then cutting edge arcade board, and this late 1990 conversion. An original background music has been added in addition to the arcade version theme renditon. Next we've got a lot of alternates.. Desert Strike for the Game Gear, European dump (existing dump was US version), Hook for the Game Gear, European dump (existing dump was US version), Junction for the Game Gear, US version (existing dump was Japanese version), Riddick Bowe Boxing for the Game Gear, US dump (existing dump was Japanese version). Challenge Derby for the Othello Multivision / SG-1000, alternate 40k mapped ROM of the [A] version (ordering between [A] and [B] is yet unknown). Soukoban / Changgo Jigi (창고지기) / I.Q. (아이-큐) for the Samsung Gam*Boy / Master System, two alternate dumps of the classic puzzle game of which we've released the Taiwanese dump recently. Those are among the very last alternate releases I have in stock so it is good to have them out of the way so we can unroll a red carpet of new releases leading to our March anniversary.

	Thanks for the dumps! I already had the US version of "Riddick Bowe Boxing", so someone else must have put it on the internet before.

	yeah, it was floating around since a long time. but like a few other images (see http://www.smspower.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12914 ) it was not known until now if the dump was good or not this kind of confirmations through redumps are very precious :)

	What's the story with the "I.Q" version? Is it renamed to "I.Q." or just put out by a different company (i.e. I.Q. rather than Samsung, or Hwaseong(??) according to SMS Power DB)? Interestingly it removes the Japanese still present in the alternate KR release and the TW release.

	It's been renamed and is a different published release as well. Attached pictures. I'm sorry I haven't published all my pictures yet, I have thousands. Soukoban-A.jpg (176.84 KB) Soukoban-B-IQ-G-38.jpg (124.69 KB)
