MSX



The MSX standard was developed in the early 1980s by ASCII and Microsoft Japan, with the goal of allowing different companies to make mutually compatible computers. Hence the acronym, "Machines with Software eXchangeability". That was still a bit of a crazy idea back then, but it worked: although it remained pretty much unknown in the USA, it had a huge following in Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Argentina, Soviet Union, and parts of Europe and the Middle-East. Not only it was a fine all-purpose home computer, it was a really damn good game machine.

Note: this list is only for games compatible with the first generation MSX machines. MSX2 games must go on their own page. Many games have slightly different MSX and MSX2 versions; in such cases, the MSX2 version is usually superior, so add them only to the MSX2 page.
