Disagree. If somebody devised MSX versions of the latest PC gfx engines
then it would be pretty possible to create such games on our beloved
computer.
And trust me, not many major modifications to the design of the board would
be necessary to acomplish this. And should those modifications be more
complicated, it wouldn't raise the price as much as the average geek
couldn't afford.
Same conclusion as ever: PCs are used as plain power supplies for a jungle
of boards.
And there're definitely better power supplies (and toasters) out there.

But if you wanted to play an MSX game the big way you would hook it to your
trusty colour 21", hifi equipment, and Telemach stick, wouldn't you?

That's your problem. I don't want my MSX warping into a toaster. There're
good things like SCSI, Moonsound and GFX9000, and there're fair uses for
(and fair attitudes towards) these things.
>Conclusive, ppl spend money on PC hardware because they want to.
YES!!! But they keep saying they spend money because they NEED to, or
because it's BETTER SPENT on their PC than on any other machine (PSX say)
when arithmetically it's not.

...fff.
Ask Konami Man. Get the forthcoming Spanish mags. Stay tuned for my girly
MSX productions. Could send a JPEG of mine playing Parodius while holding
today's newspaper and resting my female-exclusive architecture over the
keyboard, you little sceptical 8;)
Thanks for the reception, btw.
And kiss you lot.
