MSX
,typo
'''MSX ''' was a standardized range of Z80 based 8 bit computers developped developed by Microsoft and various (mostly) japanese Japanese producers to exploit... microsoft softwaresMicrosoft Software.
MSX stands for "Machines with Software eXchangeability".
'''4 generations of MSX were produced''', each with it's own system specsupgrades and retro compatible with past specifications.
Later MSX standards (MSX2, MSX2+ and turboR) included a large panel of extra video modes without the colours clashes.
The MSX 2 introduced hardware vertical scrolling but it wasn't until the MSX2+ that the MSX could do proper hardware horizontal scrolling; the video card makes software scrolling very difficult, so only as of the MSX2+ and later is smooth scrolling available. The MSX was perhaps to Japan what the CPC was to France (keeping to the proportions of course).Or what the ZX Speccy was to England or eastern Europe (Speccy clones mostly...) A "serious" computer mostly used as home computer for gaming purpose by kids. == CPC connections == * Some games did probably benefit from some sort of cross-dev or ports, having some common assets (music, graphics ?).{{#ev:youtube|azZgvlyojek|384}} {{#ev:youtube|WLkzobK52R0|384}} * [[Overflow]] from [[Logon System]] released a Demo on those MSX1.{{#ev:youtube|jSS08co8zvA|768}} == Links == * [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX Wikipedia page] [[Category:Non CPC Computers]]
