The MSX standard appeared in 1983, letting different manufacturers build compatible home computers. It sold well in Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Brazil and elsewhere.
Konami made the platform a home for classics, among them the first Metal Gear, Nemesis, Salamander and Vampire Killer, alongside Bomberman and many local releases.
openMSX and other emulators run MSX cartridges and disks on current systems.
