The game is mentioned in a series of "great videogames", together with classics such as Qbert. Cool huh 
Especially since this is AMERICAN TV! |

Hmm I wondered why these guys took the MSX version of Dragon Slayer legend of heroes.(Afterall SNES,GENESIS (SEGA 16 BIT), PC ENGINE versions do exist. )
So any more info that gives a clue why they chose the MSX version ?

That puzzles me as well. Same goes for the screenshot at the article on 40 years basic on nu.nl. Why on earth did they use a screenshot of MSX Association's MSX-BASIC? The only valid answer can be: because someone who loves MSX is in the editorial team. Same goes for the Dragon Slayer cover. Why MSX? There's someone out there at PBS who loves us!  |
