Snake: If Mr. Miyagi can catch flies with a roll stick I can hit this guy's eye from here. If I just point the cigarrete butt in this direction… Colonel Roy: "Snake, Skaaake!! What are you doing?? Focus on the mission! For God's sake…"

A few pics of the National FS4000 MSX. I didn’t notice while recording the unboxing but there is a piece missing, the little tray that holds the printer paper is missing, not a big deal for me.

Made a janky unboxing video of the package I received yesterday like all the hip kids do on the YouTube.

I also got an MSX game in the mail!

The MSX computer line was a joint venture between ASCII Corporation and Microsoft Japan to standardize PCs in the '80s between the various hardware manufacturers at the time. Developers like Konami launched many of the franchises that would become very popular on later platforms — Metal Gear, Gradius and Bomberman to name a few. In this episiode of RETRO Buyer's Guide, I take a look at my Sony Hit-Bit MSX1 computer and show off some of the games that defined the MSX computer line.
