I don't think it was either. I'm not sure of the following facts, but as
far as I know: MSX is from Philips. It didn't even have many fans in
Europe, due to the rampant success of the Sinclair Spectrum. There was a
MSX 2 (there are some Ultimas for this one, I think), but it was only sold
in Japan.

Was it even available (sold in) the U.S. market? I didn't think it was.

Hey Pedro... just contact Jose directly ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) and tell him
Trantor sent you. He'll be glad to hear from a fellow fanatic of the old
days.
I know the ads your referring too... man those were the good old days. I
remember seeing those ads in Argentina then running down to the stores to
find out which ones were available (let's just say the software industry in
Argentina wasn't 100% legit). Only problem was that most Spanish games
never made it to the C64 which was my machine at the time. Remember
spending a lot of time at a friends house, who had an MSX. That was an
underappreciated machine if there ever was one (in Europe and the US at
least).
