Dear MSX fans,
I am back to the MSX platform for the first time since 1986. Unfortunately due to a sad event: my brother Willem passed away 6 months ago :-(
We spent a lot of time in the mid-80s to tackle each other‘s high scores. My favorite game was Dorodon back then. I even wrote a small game in Basic that was published in a German magazine called „MSX Revue“ :-)
I lost touch with the MSX world when I had to move for my first job.
Shortly before his death he told his wife to pass the „old computer stuff“ to me.
Last Monday I finally managed to collect more than a dozen huge boxes and yesterday I looked through them:
I counted 10 MSX computers and 100+ games!
The next weeks and months I will be trying to figure out what is still working. Most likely that means to learn a lot (again)!
While I intend to keep the most memorable items (yes, including Dorodon), I plan to sell the majority at a later point in time ... because I expect my wife to complain about the lack of space in the basement :-)
Thanks for having me here and greetings from Cologne, Germany
Andreas

Welcome back and sorry to hear about your brother.
