Is there anything interesting and worth playing on the MSX/MSX2 computers? Other than the first Metal Gear games.
>>
Fray, Knightmare games and Tales of Popolon (not retro) the first parodius maybe
Also SD snatcher but I guess that counts as metal gear

I prefer the MSX2 version of Snatcher to the other versions. It's just more soulful with the MSX graphics, and there's an English translation for it.

Aleste 2 is worth checking out too, though it's hard as hell.

Konami has a lot of cool stuff on the MSX, and if you happen to be a HAL Labs fan, all their weird early shit is on MSX.

I thought Antarctic Adventure was pretty fun. I didn't care for the sequel too much and thought the boss battles ruined it.

Yes, most of the Konami exclusives are worth looking into, especially Space Manbow.

why? it ends on a cliff-hanger
>>10939849
konami, falcom and compile were the main devs. not much outside of those 3 except all the modern day homebrew
>>
Yeah MSX is mostly a Konami machine.
Hi no tori aka Firebird for MSX2 is pretty good. Like a more advanced take on Knightmare.
>>
stuff that Yuzo Koshiro composed for
