The MSX 1 standard was popular, especially in Japan & Europe, so the next-generation MSX 2 launched with a major upgrade in graphics. In this series, I'll play & look at the MSX 2 games in my collection to show what the system could do. In this episode, we look at another shoot-em-up called Famicle Parodic by Bit 2. #retro #computing #gaming #gameplay #demo #msx2 #famicleparodic #bit2 youtu.be/ZQQ_KPA8x9A

Recently, after realising that quite a number of the websites that contained information about the Spectravideo SV-318/328 computers had disappeared, I created a new bulletin board. One of the things that has been an issue is that there has been no list containing all the titles released for these systems. Not just mine, which were published in Australia and New Zealand, did not appear on lists mostly assembled in other countries, but there were titles from Mr Micro, and there seemed to be more than were listed. Going from a single title in one list and then another title in another list, and checking print advertisements in magazines, I found cover images for four titles (only one that appeared in the original list). As it happened, these cover images were online as they were part of a for-sale listing by a seller in the UK. I immediately purchased all four titles, and for what looks like the first time on the internet (for three of the titles), let's unbox them and see if we can get them to load! #retro #computer #spectravideo #mrmicro #discovery youtu.be/MYdqP1Q30cE

Dangerous Seed (Sega Megadrive Japan) Pickup & Play youtu.be/3XrytMpHx9I?si=GRvp… via @YouTube Last month's 10 Pence Arcade Podcast challenge was the arcade game Dangerous Seed. I had not played it previously and quite enjoyed playing it during the month. Alex ( ⁨@Alsarcade⁩  and the 10 Pence Arcade Podcast) mentioned there was a Sega Mega Drive version. I am only missing a couple of the Mega Drive shoot-em-ups from my collection, and this was one of them. I found a copy from a Japanese seller for a very reasonable price. Let's unbox it and give it a play together. #retro #gaming #sega #megadrive #dangerousseed

What's better than a new homebrew game for the ColecoVision, one made by a group of community members coming together and trying to make what was a pretty decent original arcade conversion even better?

Micros Gazette MSX and Spectravideo Magazine spectravideo.org/viewtopic.p… I have added the details of another magazine to the Spectravideo forum. This time it's the magazine published by me, "Micros Gazette MSX and Spectravideo Magazine", taking over the reins of MSX & Spectravideo Computer Forum with a relaunch. #retro #computing #msx #spectravideo #microsgazette

Added a new section to the Spectravideo Forum with all issues of the MSX and Spectravideo Computer Forum, first published in April 1986 in Western Australia by Forest Data Services. Only the first couple of issues were previously available online, so I scanned all the issues, and they are all linked in the post. #retro #computing #spectravideo #msx spectravideo.org/viewtopic.p…

Trade Package from Big G From SA youtu.be/A1MT6wS-1LI?si=Tic1… via @YouTube I have known Gary (Big G from SA) since I first started on YouTube 15 years ago. He is a like-minded retro collector who also has a passion for the original Spectravideo computers (that were used as the base design for the MSX computers that followed). Living in South Africa, he has a lot of trouble with postage, but utilising his sister's trip to Australia, which also included a trip across the Bass Strait to Tasmania (where I live), we arranged probably one of the longest trades ever :) His sister dropped off this package to me, and collected my package of items to take back to him (which I believe won't be until next year. Let's have a look at what he sent me. #retro #gaming #pickups #trade #gameplay
