Absolutely loving this. Never knew anything about the MSX. Top vid. The quality of that Sony unit was insane.

Konami actually did make use of the 2 cartridge slot feature of most MSX machines: if you insert the proper other game cartridge in the 2nd slot, the Konami game in the first slot had some extra cheat options :)

The Sony is a heavy machine but try the Panasonic CF-2700. It weighs in at about approximately 3.6 Kg. After using other MSX machines it was quite a shock when I first got mine. A good workout.

We should just forget about the MSX games that came out of the UK and such, mostly. MSX (even in its initial iteration) was a huge step up over the Spectrum. The lazy UK/Spain etc speccy ports just made it look like it was kind of an over-designed spectrum in terms of capabilities.

I don’t think the Japanese ASCII Corporation had anything to do with American Standard Code for Information Interchange, the ASCII character encoding you’re confusing it with.

interesting to see the Mitsumi brand there. My first cd-rom reader was a Mitsumi, and always wondered how popular the brand was in Japan.

Absolutely beautiful design and build quality, as you'd expect from Sony. I had no idea this was ever officially released in the UK. I definitely need to add one of these to my collection. The MSX really did play host to some of the very best games of the 8bit era - in Japan at least.

The chip with the heat sink is the Video Chip (VDP). Looks like this model doesn't have custom chips. The Sharp LH0080A is the Z80 CPU indeed. You missed the Yamaha Y2149 (the AY-3-8910 PSG compatible) SSG.
