Too bad he forgot the resolution, it's of course 256x212 pixels in screen 8.
Wammes: check the FAQ! ;-)Didn't one disk of the MCM disk abonnement have just that? A 256x212 SCREEN 8 digi of Wammes?
The next edition of the UK magazine "Retro Gamer" is going to have a feature on MSX

A couple of days ago, at Friday 8th April, at a famous comedy show called "Homo Zapping" in a national spanish TV station, Antena3, an MSX1 appeared!.
That program parodiates a lot of TV series making jokes about them. Well, pariodating "Star Trek" TV series, appeared one character holding a MSX (it could be a Sony HB10P or 20P, don't know exactly), controlling the Enterprise with it :). It was funny to find our beloved computer in a program with so much audience!.
I'm just digitizing the evidence, I'll post a video file of it in a while. I think it's quite impressive and it's my nominee for the 2nd MSX in the Media Challenge: Program "Homo Zapping" from Antena3 (Spanish national TV station) - 8th April 05" :)
Wow, this one is certainly very cool!! If you'd like us to host the video file, just send it to msxmedia@msx.org (or send me a download link). Datatraffic can be quite heavy, you know ;)
I've just sent a link to get the video file to msxmedia@msx.org. Please, get it and host it in your webspace (+8MB). This is the video evidence of my nominee. :)
