Let´s start some fun.
I got a double Super Tritorn cartridge and I got plenty of unsorted images.
I will post a image of a stripdown MSX and you will post the correct type.
First one with the exact answer will get a, let´s call it "point". The one with the most "points" on christmas evening will get a Super Triton Mega Rom cartridge from Sein Soft, incl. shipping.

The post will be a picture of a naked machine (BITPorn):

The best answer would be:
"Yep. A Commodore C64."
If anyone can top this, "Mhh it´s a C64C with a revision 4 board", the point is yours.
So I can find the fidding image.

I will post two images per week, tuesday and saturday evenning.
The first on will be this, have fun!

Well, this is quite easy: Goldstar FC-200

Ehmm, maybe there's a trap. The Vestel FC-200 is exactly the same as the Goldstar FC-200, but was sold only in Turkey.

maybe a good tip: obfuscate branding
I found the goldstar fc-200 because of it. Wouldn't have found it without it being printed on the mainboard

Very nice initiative, however I would prefer more something like sending the correct answer in a PM and then on day x there will be somebody chosen from the rights answers

Yes, I thought a lot of making the rules.
Suggestions are welcome.
It´s difficult to select a winner, so I decided to post the new questions on a random time two days a week, tuesday and saturday.
I also thought about doubling the points each level. What do you think?
I guess Philip will reject that, but a inflation will keep the faith alive.
The next mission will take more time to answer and I guess there will be multiple correct answers but only one true.

I worked out the points each mission is rewarded.
I´can´t simple double it, because you all know, biggest number is always more than last numbers added together.
-Level- -Points- -Why?
-01- 1 -One standart
-02- 2 -Two Slots
-03- 4 -Cursor keys, that was the reason I sold my 64 in 85 and bought a 75!
-04- 8 -kB minimum of Ram
-05- 16 -kB VRAM MSX1
-06- 32 -My Yamaha comes with, sounds good.
-07- 48 -What´s written on my 8010
-08- 64 -kb a great number for my Z80s
-09- 128 -VRam most MSX2 comes with
-10- 192 -Max out VRam 9938
-11- 256 -much colors
-12- 360 -SIngle Sided, Double Density
-13- 512 -Screen7
-14- 640 -Nobody will ever need more RAM!
-15- 720 -Double Sided, Double Density
-16- 1024 -Well, it´s christmas!

Now Philip own the pole position with one point.

Will it work that way?

Hamlet,
Even though I will not be much of a competitor in your quiz, I just want to say your posts light up the forum.
Thanks.
