@y2k4ever1 Yes, the old MSX game like Time Pilot, AThletic Land or Antarctic Adventure look identical to the Colecovision. But the later games surpass the Colecovision. Just look Metal Gear 2, Usas or Snatcher.
@MrVenom1974 I know, and that were my previous point came from, the msx continued to live, while the colecoiseon lived only a short time, so by chance if the colecoviseon had a long life span, then some of its games may have looked as good as metal gear 2, but maybe not that cool tittle effect.
@y2k4ever1 That's a good point. Maybe you're right. Neverless the Colecovision is a great console. MSX wasn't just a console so this system had to compete against C64, Amstrad and Spectrum. And with the appearance of Amiga and Atari ST MSX7MSX died. If you're interested in the MSX, I made some movies about the games and my collection on my site.
@MrVenom1974 sounds good, i might just check it out, but i have a question, how could konami make the msx port of salamander sound so goo, i don't think only 3 sound channels did that, did the game come with a built in sound chip?
@y2k4ever1 I think they started with Nemesis 2 to use the SCC chip for the later games. A built-in chip that made that awesome music possible. There is a special music stage in King's Valley 2 and there are great tunes. Just check it out. Maybe I'll do a video about it.
oh my god King's Valley... So much time I spent playing that one, finishing the game multiple times in a row, thinking as a child there would be a moment it would tell you that you COMPLETELY finish the game ever... but nooooo, it kept going... and going... and going... Plus my parents would usually turn off the console when I tried leaving it on pause when it was times to watch the news so I wouldn't have to start from the complete beginning lol
@aldar98 Thanks for the good memories. I loved this game too. I had the same experience. Kept playing and finishing the game and it kept looping, changing ghost colors with every new loop, until eventually they all just became yellow. I finished the game 6 more times to make sure nothing would happen, but they stayed yellow. I guess I had a lot of free time back then!
That's right MSX is where the original Goonies comes from. Most people just thought the Goonies 2 was a sequel to the movie and didn't know that it was actually a sequel to a game. LOL
It's also cool to see the original Metal Gear, which is a very different game from the NES release.
Do you know if Vampire Killer is also different from Castlevania? Or is it just the same game with a different title?
Thanks for these videos, they show how these consoles were back then. :)

Amazing it was practically a colecoviseon, yet pulled of metal gear so well, could the coleco do that ":3

@y2k4ever1 Don'T think so. And if you see Metal Gear 2 that would be too much für the little CBS.

@MrVenom1974 true, but why then do allot of msx games look like colecoviseon games, bad porting, or was its potential not being used?
