oh, to avoid misunderstanding, Triplex is not a 'commercial' game, it's by an a
Dutch amateur club (I think it's from 1996 or something). It was made for MSX1
because the creators didn't think an MSX2 was needed to create a good game (just
like Anma's Nosh for example). If I remember correctly, it could handle 16
computers at max, and the first time I saw it (in linked play, that is) was at
the first MSX User Happening.
