Hello everyone, I just wanted to post an introduction as I am new to the MSX and this site. I'm from Buffalo, NY and having a lot of time on my hands due to social distancing finally allowed me to pull the trigger in purchasing an MSX. I'm a huge fan of laserdisc games and the Palcom LDs were the primary reason I decided to jump into MSX. Unfortunately my MSX Palcom game playing is off to a bad start (https://www.msx.org/forum/msx-talk/general-discussion/msx-pa...), but I'm sure I'll get the thing running sooner than later!
So far it's just MSX1 for me until I get my LD games working, but I really enjoyed Knightmare and Athletic Land is pretty good too (my first 2 games). My friends will only play old sports games with me, so I have a few of those on the way for post quarantine multi-player as well.
One question. I know the MSX gamea are region free, but will PAL games play at the wrong speed on a Japanese MSX? My Knightmare seems to be playing okay, but despite the auction saying it was a NTSC game, when I received it the game came with a European manual. This will be helpful info as I look to pick up a few more games, thanks!
