Is MSX a classic and old enough computer to be considered a classic?
I would certainly say so.
Any MSX collectors here?
I saw a few in shop windows when I was in the UK in 1985, but I was
heavily into the C-64 at the time and never saw much MSX hardware when
I returned home. There were plenty of articles of how the economic
power of Japanese hardware vendors and their ability to tuck MSX
components into TVs, stereos, etc., would make them the dominant
players. Obviously that never happened, but it was all the rage to
report that it was _going_ to happen.
Perhaps someone from Europe or Asia should chime in on how the MSX
wave hit their corner of the planet. In the States, it was barely a
whisper.
