COLLECTING TIPS!

Choose your MSX wisely n There are so many MSX systems to choose from but if you buy an MSX2 with a disk drive, it will work with most of the best games.

Shop Japan For the rarer MSX games, you’re better off using a Japanese auction site service like Buyee. The selection is better than on Western sites and the prices are cheaper.

Sound on If you want the best sound, invest in the Panasoft FM-PAC, a cartridge that adds the MSX Music FM chip to your system to improve the music in many games.

The joy of pads MSX used its own two-button controllers that can be expensive to track down. It’s easier to buy a fan-made adapter that allows you to use a Mega Drive pad instead.
