Poll result -We have a draw!!-

Of course, when we put the 'SD Snather vs. Solid Snake'-poll online, we avoided the question which of these 2 games is the best MSX game there has ever been. There are always people who think the YS-series are better. Or the Xak-trilogy for that matter. Still, we do believe SD Snatcher and Metal Gear 2 -Solid Snake- top the lists of many MSX-ers around the world. Therefor it was a true 'battle of titans'.

When we decided to poll your favorite, we expected Solid Snake to win, just because the Metal Gear-series have had a huge spinoff to other computer systems. And still, the Metal Gear-series are very popular amongst current gamers. Considering our visitors, we thought SD Snatcher wouldn't have a change, actually.

To our great surprise and enjoyment, SD Snatcher took the lead and kept it until in the last hour when Solid Snake evened the score and therefor, we have a draw! Is this a disappointment? Now we will never know which game is the best? Maybe, maybe not...

Our next poll is about a very fundamental subject. Why MSX?! This is a question we've probably been asking ourselves for the last 20 years. Please have your say about it now and join in.

Happy voting!

That new poll (why msx) might be the wrong 'question' .. you could also ask: 'why not another system' Since probably all options are arguments to stay with the msx.

To compare with my situation: I just got one.. I didn't choose it, I just got one. Why did I *stay* with msx? Well, when you're doing music etc. you feel comfortable with the tracker you use, or because of FM. I wouldn't want to swap to an amiga with it's limited 4 chn modfiles.

Ofcourse you like the games, ofcourse you like doing creative things with the msx, ofcourse you like the ppl you know from the scene, ofcourse you like the fact that you can show your own productions on any other msx. That's all obvious. esp for a scener, who likes the ppl in the scene AND likes being creative AND likes compatibility..

So, I can't choose the most important reason why I stayed with the MSX, but I can choose why I didn't swap to another system..

(sounds like recursion does this make sense?)

Well, if you want to unerstand what you read (storyline) I can imagine that the game is not very appealing .. However, what the joystickwiebelaar didn't realise is that the game was very playable, even without understanding the txt. There are Japanese RPGs which are not playable at all..
