Subject: Re: Anyone remember the msx ?

 

Ahh, the MSX. Never owned one, don't know what
one looks like, Hell, never even heard of it before
perusing the games list on MMT. But one thing made me
download an emulator for it, that was a screenshot from
JSW II on the MSX
(http://jswremakes.emuunlim.com/Systems/msx.htm, target=new>http://jswremakes.emuunlim.com/Systems/msx.htm,> bottom of screen), showing a room called The
Maze. And I've never even found that room
either!

"Im wiping away a nostalgic tear herr because it was
on the msx I lost my jsw virginity :)"

I
remember discovering Willy first of all as JSW II on the
C64. I came home one day and found my elder brother
playing the game. Instant love. He also had JSW I, and of
course the experience of that AFTER JSW II prejudiced me
against the notion of JSW I for a long time. I can't tell
you the joy when someone* sent me JSW II for the C64
emulator, because it was nowhere to be found on the net
back then, and I always had a soft spot for
it

*I'm afraid I can't remember if it was Sendy or
Richard Hallas - I'm missing a lot of old emails
