I believed it at first but, trying the game, the microphone seems to be used more to fill the character's cry level. Shooting is done with the spacebar.

Ah I see.... So the shout sets the attack level without replacing the fire button.

The game was also released on the MSX-FAN disk #6 provided with the March 1992 magazine. The game is explaned at page 118. It's disappointing. I imagined better. The microphone is not really useful in fact. We were right from the start. It's just an alternative to the fire button.

"Systems with hardware very close to the MSX standard"

and

"Machines with hardware close to the MSX1s"

There's one line too much

Note: The Einstein 256 machine is closer to MSX2 than MSX1

I'm not sure that 'Almost MSX' is the good place for Zemmix MSX1 consoles as they are already in 'Hidden MSX', category mentioned in the notes on 'Almost MSX' page.

The same for the Kobo (that needs to be added to 'Hidden MSX' as there is no MSX logo)

In absolute terms, these consoles are not MSXs.

What about Philips NMS 800/801 then for example?

Where do you put the frontier between 'Hidden' and 'Almost'???

I don't really know the NMS-800/801.

About 'Hidden' and 'Almost', maybe it's better to say "Machines that use a system close to MSX computers" instead of "Hidden MSX", and moves these Zemmix consoles to "Machines that use a system close to MSX computers".

The Zemmix consoles use the same internal system as the MSX computers! Also the NMS 800/801. You are just limited to MSX ROM games or MSX tape games according the case!

What can't be said for ColecoVision or Nabu PC, because the system is different while being very close to MSX. But you can't use MSX games on these systems, you need to convert/patch the ROMS for example.
