I love old games, particularly those made in Japan. My main passion is MSX microcomputers, but I love retro games in general. I livestream frequently at: https://www.twitch.tv/themp83

There exists a MSX game from 1987 called "A Life M36 Planet: Mother Brain has been aliving". That is all. 😎

There's quite a lot of Konami MSX games that never got released: * Konami's Pinball * Spelling Tree * Keyboard Master * Okazu shōron-ka (Side Dish Expert) * Jogging Mate All of these are from the October 1984 Konami Computer Software Catalog alone (cleaned up).

T&E Soft's "Active Simulation War: Daiva" series from 1986-1987 is very fascinating. In order to experience the whole storyline, told from different angles/characters, you'd need PC-88, FM77AV, X1, MSX, MSX2, Famicom, and PC-98 systems to play them all. Yikes!! www.timeextension.com/features/dai...
