MSX machines starts to count time from 1/1/1980, then Y2K bug only
will be a problem in 2079*. But don't tested the 29/02/2000 problem.
Perhaps some programs can be affected, remember Y2K problem isn't a
hardware bug or a operational system bug, is a generic software bug.
A good idea is get some programs that uses date/time information and
check it, peharps dBASE II, Professional Data Retrieve (a Brazilian
database software w/ a nice GUI), SuperCALC and others.
With games... Games has its owner way to cout time... :)
