@cmdfarsight I don't really have enough games for it to get a proper feel for it. I guess my rough impression is that it's not overly powerful and wasn't going to beat the best systems of the day, but if it had been sold cheaply and publicised well, it might have been able to hold it's own.
@ClassicTVMan81 which is nothing but crappy VDP... there's not even hardware scroll and colour palette all washed out... good Sega decided to use their own technology in Master System and finally sweep these them away from market
This looks good. Thanks for the effort posting this Steve

This looks similar to the MSX1 version.

@ClassicTVMan81 The MSX and the M5 have very similar specs, so it's probably a direct port.

@SteveBenway
Yes, as they share the same Texas Instruments TMS9928A VDP chip.
