MSX games

MSX is a 1980s-90s home computer standard that was popular in Japan, as well as some European and Arabic-speaking countries. There have been attempts to officially resurrect the system in the western countries that mostly ignored it the first time around, with roughly as much success as you'd expect.

Around 1984, a South Korean company called Daewoo Electronics released an MSX-compatible console called Daewoo Zemmix. Alongside pirated MSX games, numerous Korean companies developed original games and ports of popular games for the console, some of which made it into the spotlight of western MSX magazines. Since Zemmix is essentially an MSX clone crammed into a console shell, this category will also cover games made for it.
