Well, I (rather unexpectedly) got myself an Msx (a Philips VG-8020), so what do I play first? I figured a game that I'd played a lot on the C64 would be a good start, so I can compare the power of this new (old!) machine that I know little about with something I know like the back of my hand.

Don't really have much nostalgia for the Msx as I only knew one person at school who had an Msx and I only played on it once. He had various Nemesis/Gradius/Vulcan Venture carts but they're horribly expensive these days so I'll just make do with cassette images for now, until I can pick up some cheap cartridges anyway. Let me know if there's anything Msx-exclusive I need to look out for (aside from the stupidly expensive stuff, obviously) as otherwise I'm just going to picking stuff at random here. Might not have much nostalgia for the Msx but it was always an intriguing machine due to seeming so rare and different to the C64, Speccy, Amstrad and BBC. And it still seems really odd today, almost exotic, so I'm looking forward to seeing how different it can be...
