What's Michael from Micro Cabin WOW..... bad game

You only think it's bad because you don't understand Japanese...

hm.. what did I just read? Was that a generous offer to translate it then, to prove your point ?

The game doesn't need to be translated to prove my point. It speaks for itself. The game's a text adventure about a cat. That just can't be a bad game. If I would have plenty of time, I might be able to live up to your expectations, but alas...

Did someone remove Rieks' chain and ball again?!?

I think that there isn't that many GOOD games for msx1. Just listing the good ones is enough. Almost all Konami's stuff and few games from other developers.
I did play a lot of msx1 games younger, but most of my friends had c64 and if you compare msx vs. c64, World & California games, Outrun, Green Beret,, Afterburner, Thunderblade...etc. Msx versions do suck most of the times.
There is exceptions though, Salamander, Nemesis, Gauntlet.. and few others that were better than c64 versions.
Developers didn't put that much effort in msx versions, atleast the european ones. Fast & crappy spectrum converions most of the time.
How come most of the good msx1 were coming from Japan??

Msx2 games are different story, though. Tons of good games for this platform. I bought such a machine, because I tried it with emulator and liked those games instantly.=) They never sold msx2 here at Finland.=(

In right hands, good games for msx1 are reality. Konami showed it, and Robsy with his PRO quality Guru Logic showed it. (I love it, btw)
These kinda games we need more. Not those 1984 Coloecovision ports...

There are MANY MANY great MSX1 games that you didn't list... You should get to know them

Good games for MSX1? There are many indeed... Almost all from Konami, Compile and Sega, just to name a few. About Green Beret. The original Green Beret was from Konami, but the MSX1 Green Beret is an adaptation of Spectrum's Green Beret.
But let's talk about really awful games....

Any game by Positive Software. They range from awful to even worst than that. Pyramid Warp by T&E Soft, any shooter with 16 Kbytes size (except Sky Jaguar), Mirai (nice music and idea, but with awful graphics and horrid controls), Dog Fight, and the list goes forever.

I like Pyramid Warp!

Why such self-punishment ?!!!

Well, I like Zaider Battle of Peguss...

What's Michael from Micro Cabin

Actually What's Michael is one of the funniest manga I ever read. If the game follows closely the history of the manga, then it surely must be funny too.

I'd also nominate most spectrum ports. Even when we first had MSX we thought they were ugly/bad/didn't like ém

and pitfall2. 'cause the music made me depressive

You are right about Spectrum ports, but there are some good games...

ASTRO MARINE CORPS kicks ass !

ehhh.... NO! No remakes, try to make new games. Nobody is interested in, for example, Usas with improved graphics and music. It's still the same game!

EHHH WELL LET ME ADD THESEUS...OR ALPHA SQUADRON...AND NUMEROUS OTHER MSX 1 GAMES THAT MADE ME DEPRESSED, LIKE HIGHWAY STAR OR ERIC AND THE FLOATERS.....HNNNNN
OH ALSO I COULDN'T COMPLETE A COENEN'S MSX DESIGNER...I COULDN'T DEFEAT THE BOSS AT LEVEL 9

No way! Highway star rulez!
