This topic is just to list game genres that the MSX does not have and would be possible to be created, even for the MSX1:

My list is:

- A good pinball game in the way of Pinball Fantasies.
- A good RPG in the classic SNES style.
- A turn-based war game like Advance Wars (Game Boy)
- A bird-eye view or an iso-view multiscrolled racing game like Overdrive (Amiga) or Rock´n Roll Racing (SNES).
- An action RPG game like Zeliard
- Any decent Double Dragon clone
- Any decent one on one fighting game (no sprites, if it´s an MSX1 one game).
- Any strategy game like Dune (the one from Cryo).
- Any war game like Dune 2

Any other tips?

- a "port" for SCUMM games (Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Day of Tentacle...)
- a decent vector-kind space game (like Elite)
- MSX2's probably could run a good FPS game Doom-style

Ro, if you are talking about a FPS for the MSX2, someone has already done a Wolf 3D like engine. My suggestions to that would be:

A Zanac-like lay-out screen: 192x192 pixels for game area and the right part of the screen for the game data. That would use only 192 lines for scaling, less if blocky pixels were used. Floor and celing would be blank. Since Wold 3D ran even in a 286, I think it would be possible. The main problem would be enemy sprites... Too blocky.

By the way, there´s a FPS even for the Atari 2600 VCS.
