Try google

EDGE 136, page 70. MSX (and Antarctic Adventure) is mentioned in an interview with Hideo Kojima.

June issue, Thom? Or May?

May 2004, don't expect too much of it. It's just a remark. But still nice.

Cool, yet another interview in which Kojima mentions MSX! This is beyond coincidence, Hideo still loves us! ^_^

Oy, Snout..
You remember that we had a little chat with Wammes?
Let me refresh the memory.
If I'm not mistaken this chat took place when that Japanese guy('s) and girl(s) came to Tilburg and got a 'kaasschaaf' and cheese from us.
Anyhows, Snout and I were talking about getting those dusty MSX machines from ppl's attics, so they can be 're-used' by active MSX users. At that time, Wammes considered that, IF we would write a good article about it, he would try to publish this article in the PC-Active Magazine.
Okay, this took place several years ago and I don't know if that offer still stands...
But if this offers still stands, wouldn't that be a nice start to get back into publicity?

btw, I kinda miss Wammes around...

Description: Announcing the Portuguese version of MSX Resource Center, the article reads: 'MSX Site gets translated

The site MSX Resource Center (http://br.msx.org/) help to keep live the 8 bits computer system, famous in the 80's. Kept originaly in english, the site - one of the most importants of the world about MSX – won translation and a forum in portuguese. There, we find a big session of downloads, news, polls, meetings, links and more. The translation of the older newsposts is still being made by a team of volunteers.'


Evidence

Is there somebody who can send me a scan of the article in Edge? (May, 2004).

This one is cool Must say it's the best one I have seen so far Congratulations.

BTW, anyone over here still has the Dealer Info Issue, regarding the MSX Revival?

Hehe, yeah, but that one is WAY to long ago to be entering the challenge. The first two were on the edge already

Both articles on the MSX Revival are also published on the dealer info website by the way.

Is a nominee only valid if it's a piece of txt or photo in common media ? (newspaper etc.) Or is a famous actor holding an msx item on a photo also valid ? (just to name something weird )

Anything goes! If you get on TV wearing an MSX T-Shirt it'll be a valid entry.

uhm.. but that's not what I mean, TV is a medium! I'm talking about 'famous' ppl doing something msx-related in non-media, such as a fair, a restaurant, a cafe etc.

-edit- and then a photo of it ofcoz..

Here's something cool! Enribar just submitted this. He got MSX in the media in 2002 and 2003. We can't accept this attention as a valid entry to the current challenge because it happened quite some time before we started the challenge. The challenge should be the generator of the attention, at least, that's our mission Anywayz, this is way cool, so we thought we share it with you

Hi,

I've seen you contest for the 'MSX in the media'...

Well, in the past (2002/2003) I've done this:

- 2 tv shows created thank to my interest: Game Network (a satellite TV), one show for Pardius and one show for Metal Gear. I have one the first show recorded in a VCD. Other infos at: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/_XOOM/enribarb/msx/msxmisc.html

- article about 20th anniversary of MSX birth on Hacker Journal and MyTech:
http://www.mytech.it/mytech/computer/art006010048828.jsp
If you want I have also the article in pdf (is downloadable from the secret zone of www.hackerjournal.it)

At the moment... nothing to plan for MSX in the media, sorry!

Ciao,
Nrgo

If you send us a picture of it... sure! For the fun of it.
