Hi there,

Maybe that's what they call nostalgia? I agree with you that certain
games will be better on an MSX than on other systems. I still get the
creeps when I play Metal Gear 2 when guards see mee (I did when Metal
Gear (3) Solid was announced, in fact it is the reason I bought a PSX
(that and Konami MSX Antiques vol 1, 2 and 3 )). I think it has
something to do with playing a game for the first time. If you play it
for the second time (and on an other system), you know the storyline
already and you pay attention to other things. Just like a remake of an
old movie or something.

I played Castlevania on the PSX (my first PSX game, because of the audio
CD) and that had that "feeling" again. And later, Metal Gear Solid. It
is the true sequal to MG2-Solid Snake.
