Thoughts on microcomputer stuff now that you're poking more at them?

They're so cool! The MSX1 really feels like there was just an entire console that we sorta, didn't think too hard about or consider real. It was actually a computer of course and that matters but still. There's just a Kinnikuman game on it that's better than the ones on Nintendo platforms! It's still not amazing but that's wild! This is also probably also the affect of it being Japanese primarily, whereas when we look at Amiga games and such they're mostly the strange and upsetting world of "Europe." Since we didn't really grow up on those, playing them feels like spelunking into a world we don't know instead of an entire rich vein of familiar games. That'll make the Amiga mines even more interesting when we get there though.

The FM Towns stuff we've looked at so far feels a lot more like a computer as we understand it since everything is on CDs and many of the games we're picking out are like, Wizardry. Alone in the Dark. Games we already at least know about. It feels much more like a computer as we know it. Still, in addition to the unique games on it, a lot of the games will be interesting ports too.

The MSX2 feels like the most exciting thing possible right now.
