LINKS (Feb 12, 2002)

Junker HQ (English)
An extremely rich Kojima game resource by Artemio of Mexico. A lot of text dumps and scans (even the fabled PC-Engine Snatcher Pilot Disk). I translated his MSX Snatcher texts to English.

Kikuzawa Shokai ("Kikuzawa Corporation", Japanese)
Site of Kikuzawa Mitsunobu, the professional wrestler. He forgot the MSX2 he once owned in the workplace he worked part time. He is the diehard computer nerd. I recommend you to visit his wrestling show.

La Casa de Pololin ("Castle of Polorin", Spanish)
This Argentine site offers MSX emulator for Dreamcast, in form of CD rom image. I personally don't even own a Dreamcast, but if you are interested spend some effort to read Spanish.

Kaitei Toshi Machopicho ("underwater city Machopicho", Japanese)
Page of Gyonin, who keeps cloning. Old Konami titles, including Manesis (Gradius clone) and Tokimeki Knightmare (Knightmare), which are downloadable here, and are definitely worth playing.
But due to threat from Konami, the games are no longer available. :(

Toryu Gokui Sho ("secret art of fighting dragon", Japanese)
Site of Samiel, whose lifequest is for "the ultimate game". He wrote complete Relics walkthrough, and philosophic meditation on Last Armageddon. Nice game MIDIs are available. Note the URL changed in October of 2000.

hQ's fMSXSO page (Japanese/English)
fMSXSO is the recent Win-based Japanese MSX emulator. You might think all MSX emulators are same, but fMSXSO, which plays FM sound directly through MIDI, kicks ASS, not to mention full English manual by me. Also comes with BBS (Japanese only).

The Original Snatcher (English)
Page of Gatez, who actually finished MSX Snatcher with RuMSX emulator. Screenshots and tips... you'll be no longer troubled by that same old FAQ "how to input 'be' with US keyboard??".

(Japanese)
Page of Haya, who developed Masuku Kyo Jidai ("age of mad masks", downloadable here) which, despite harsh criticism ("disgusting game") from MSX-FAN (who also defined the game "command-based estimate-and-fight something" <- I forgot the exact term), was played by all MSX-FAN subscribers including me who were thrown, trapped inside energy field until death and died shouting "you forgot your friendship?", until we got insane. Hilarious articles include truth behind mysterious "Zasae battle" game, heartwarming masked family picture and REAL masked man. I also recommend Zasae Battlers, collection of atheltic competition pics.

Hazekawa Mucho's Nanisama no Tsumorida. ("what do you think you're, wally?", Japanese)
This site kicks ass. I knew Mucho's Korokoro Komikku (Japanese kid comic book known for its radical direction) web-database since sometime earlier, but it was only recent I learned she's an MSX fanatic diehard enough to grow fury against her MSXes who couldn't get over Y2K problem. Contents range from wide coverage of classic games to splendid drawings of Daiva (T&E Soft) handsomes, study on certain unpopular movie actor to barrage of gruesome looking sweets. Personally, best contents is Kawai Junji data base which concerns his manga works (e.g "kattobase kiyoharakun") which vividly and raucously retells Japanese baseball stars.
This site will be no longer updated. Reason is here. :(
MATRA(English/Spanish)
Matra are three Spanish developers who are seriously nonserious if you can get what I mean. They, inspired by certain British band Sigue Sigue Sputnik, develop various trinkets including mouse MAT with Japanese on it ^^;, Sex Bomb Bunny the crazy game featuring Z-0, one of their crews. They've visited Japan in Nov. 1999, and they will strike back in future. ;)
But this club ceased MSX development since April 2001. :(

by Satake Hiroyuki (Japanese)
Great GFX page. MSX-format artworks are cute. His outrageous diary is my favorite. He even has his nude photo in his page. ;)
by Ricardo Bittencourt (English)
BrMSX is a stunning MSX emulator which supports MSX2.
Also try his amazing unbelievable MSX1 (!) proggies.
TEMPEST(both Japanese/English)
A club in Hokkaido who made swooshing card game Be-Bop Bout!! and Animecha 2.0 GFX utility, which turned standard in Japanese SCREEN 5 scene. Pix are beautiful. They are on Win95s games nowadays though, I heard. MSX games are freely downloadable since 2000.

Ealia's Music Page(Japanese only)

Deadly beautiful. You can download tantamount MIDI files which would satisfy your ears!! Also, Moon light Saga related pages like "Our Luka Fan Club" are here.

Astounding!! MSX User in YEMEN!!

Ramzy(turboR ST owner)'sMSX in Arabicpage

Many regarded them as only rumors, but Arabic-supported MSXes, along with Koran 8Mbit megarom did exist!! And what a marvel, witness an array of Arabic AX-series MSX photos with built-in Megadrive chips!! Great, great, just great!! 8-)

Rudolf Lechleitener's Turbo-R emulator "RuMSX"

An Austrian site (country code .at stands for Austria, not Australia. Write it down). Rudolf (surname is pronounced LeHLeiTeN'Near) might be the closet person to turboR emulator at this point. It is scheduled to run on full 32bit Win95 platform. I helped him through kanji infos and others. Listen, every turboR owners, concentrate all your knowledge to ETERNALIZE MSX's last stand!!!! :-)
Try Japanese Support Page I made. By the way, did you know it was me who named his emulator RuMSX?

Club Mesxes's crooked page

An announcement first. #12 issue was released lately (March).A bestial club which publish a Mediterranean spin-off MSX magazine called "SD Mesxes" (Pronounced as Esu Di Mesukesu. They were kind enough to spell it in katakana XDDD), written in nearly-Spanish (which they claim as) with quite an amount of Japanese stuck between. While their homepage still remain sensible, take a look into their fanzine and your view of life change. On the cover of latest issue below, there are even "kana" and "CAPS" buttons on girl's nipples! A turboR masks her private part. It's extremely foolish and they are very serious. By the way, one of the member visited Japan recently, and I had to work as Spanish interpreter for him. What a mess. Read here for detail.
They've arrived again. They even made Japanese girlfriend. What the hell. (July 10, 1999)

Send Japanese ero books and GET Beppin Disk!!

MSXNET.ORG

Sean maintains several mirror sites including that of mine.
70% of visitors here are .jp guys. Queer for a page with no Japanese text, but sensible for a page with a TON of ever-sought Japanese MSX iconoclastic products.
Japanese Metal Gear 1 is here!! Far more details compared to crap translation Konami made! (does anyone want "English Metal Gear Remix"?)
Since October of 1997, you can read manga in manual of Space Manbow, both English-translated (by me) and in original Japanese.
Note : most downloadable files are abolished since October of 1999.

Morning StarDragon Attack

Ghost was once an eminent MSX diplomat who developed several games like Morning Star (these screenshots). His new URL was located in 2000 Mar 19.

Akop Karapetyan (real name)'s Darkone's Domain (English only)

MSX-Freak man once from Armenia. Update is often. Updates often. Recently, he is an energetic collector of real MSX stuffs.
