Crimson (MSX2)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
Notes: Look for more differences between the ROM and disk releases.

Crimson is a fairly standard J-RPG for the MSX2. It was also released for the PC-88 and Sharp X1.

Sound Test#

The game's original cartridge release has a sound test menu, which can be accessed by booting the game while pressing M + O + T.

Revisional Differences#

Crimson has two known releases, one being on cartridge and another on floppy disk.

The cartridge release requires a Panasoft PAC to save data.
The disk release has MSX-MUSIC support, and a different music track which uses the FM channels can be heard by pressing Return on the title screen.
The disk release contains more event CGs, such as when entering a dungeon or a city.

The disk release has bigger enemy portraits during battles, as well as faster text scrolling.
