Foreign MSX fair poll down, Best MSX Demo Ever megapoll finale up!

For a bit more than a month we ran a poll in which we asked "Would you visit a foreign MSX fair/meeting?". With 364 votes in, the results are as follows:

1. No (33.24%)
2. Yes, but to my neighbor country is far enough (25.82%)
3. Yes, worldwide (20.88%)
4. Yes, as long as it's on my continent (20.05%)

It is hard to say what to tell from the poll results, however, as most votes went to the option "No", whereas a majority of 66% of the voters are prepared to travel at least to some extent to visit an MSX fair - provided it is interesting enough to visit, of course. All in all one could say that although the days of large scale international MSX fairs are behind us, one could certainly attract some (more) foreign visitors to MSX fairs around the world.

Our new frontpage poll for the next month is the grand finale of the "Best MSX Demo Ever" megapoll, which started on February 3rd, 2008. Out of 71 nominees - and after 6 rounds of voting in our active MSX forum - the following 4 great MSX demo's have made it to the finale:

• Unknown Reality (NOP)
• MSX Unleashed (dvik and Joyrex)
• Sphere (Infinite)
• Metal Limit (IOD)

Two great mega-demo's from the good old scene days from the 1990s competing against two recent and fantastic achievements from the modern 'revival' years. All worth having a look at, and a tough choice by all standards. The poll will run until April 13th, every single vote counts so don't hesitate and let us know your opinion! Happy Voting!
