Wasn't a dig at you... you're actually doing stuff! All your ideas
sound very good, but the market's so small now.

My feelings exactly. This probably explains why I fiddle about on my
Sam designing games that'll never see the light of day... or maybe I'm
just stupid... Either way, if only more people thought like that!

I wish I did! All I know about MSX is stuff I've read on the web. I've
played a few emulated games (anyone care to tell me why the Sam couldn't
do something like Metal Gear?), and a lot appear to be in a mode not too
unlike Mode 2. Which is why I occasionally harp on about games in Mode
2.
Just goes to show, you don't need an OS by Microsoft to run a good
machine.
Oh... Hang on... MSX _did_ have a Microsoft OS... Damn.
