Yes it is and this year again. 20th of August in Tokyo: MSX Den-Yu Land
2000. See the site of AAM and/or www.msxmagazine.com. Last Saturday I
already previewed the building, it is very easy to find. So, I will try to
go there! Who else is?? (Except Javi! He will come!)
Anyway, Mr. Nishi will be present again, just as some other guy from ASCII.
Let's see what this fair brings... I hope some interesting stuff!
Another thing: can anyone who has been in Tokyo tell me where I should go
for MSX Stuff? I already tried Sofmap. In one 2nd hand computer Sofmap
store, I saw a couple of MSXs... Some Panasonic (about 6800 Yen, I think)
and Sony MSX2+ machines , some printers and even a Turbo-R ST (17800 Yen).
Too bad I cannot take them with me. In other shops there were only thinks
like external diskdrives, for gigantic prices (like a Sony external DD for
20000 Yen or so). In one Sofmap store there was also a second-hand software
section with 2 shelves of MSX ROMs and one table with some lost MSX ROMs. I
bought some nice and cheap ones of course (Konami's Baseball (only ROM),
Arkanoid 2 (only ROM), Genghis Khan (complete, anyone knows it?), Hole in
One Special (complete), Samurai Goemon (complete) and another game of
Microcabin/Systemsoft which I don't recognize. Seems to be some older
version of Great Strategy.
They did not really have amazing things there. There was also an FM-PAC, for
6000 Yen or so, Parodius (5000 Yen?), Salamander (4000 Yen?) and Penguin
Adventure (also, many Yens). In some other shop I also found one MSX game:
Nemesis, only cart.
I tried to find more with my Japanese friend who knows Akihabara pretty
well, but ... nothing. Does anyone have some hints?
Best regards,
Manuel
