The 'MSX MAGAZINE 2003', published by ASCII, and the 'Happy!! MSX Emulator and Games' magazine, published by Shuwa System Corporation, have been on sale in Japan now for some time.
Kuniji Ikeda has told us that at many Japanese bookstores, the 'MSX MAGAZINE 2003' is getting the top position of sales with the 'Happy!! MSX Emulator and Games' magazine just following closely at a second spot. The MSX magazines are outselling Windows- and Macintosh computermagazines. They are even outselling magazines focusing on consoles! Most of the retailers don't know what 'MSX' means, so they're very surprised two of these MSX magazines are selling as big as they do.
The 'Happy!! MSX Emulator and Games' magazine hasn't had that much attention yet, but it seems like this is a great MSX magazine as well. It contains the MSXPLAYer, but also very nice games, such as Dragon Slayer 4,
Hydlide 3, Super Laydock and many more. It also contains some interesting promo versions of i.e. Laydock 2, Valis II,
XAK and XZR.
As we stated above, this magazine is being published by Shuwa System Corporation and its content focuses on MSX Emulators, games, the Japanese MSX scene and
Project EGG.
