MSX

MSX is the name of the home computer system that was popular in the 1980s.

Before the appearance and great success of the Nintendo Famicom, MSX was the platform for which major Japanese game studios, such as Konami and Hudson Soft, produced their titles. The Metal Gear and Castlevania series were originally written for MSX hardware.

In 2006, Nintendo of Japan posted on its Virtual Console webpage that MSX games will be available for Wii Virtual Console.
