I used to have a Panasonic FS-A1F, but now I regret selling it and I'm on the lookout for an MSX2 again. I'm just looking for a cheap MSX2 system, preferably cartridge-only since I hate dealing with floppies. Here's some systems that I have my eye on:

Panasonic FS-A1
Canon V-25
Sony HB-F5
Toshiba HX-23
Yamaha CX7
Sanyo Wavy 23
Sony HB-F1

If you have any good games on cart, those would be nice too.

So I take it nobody has one? I'll accept MSX1 systems even, since most of the games I plan to get are for the MSX1.

The problem is that you live in the usa, so it means 110 V instead of the european 220 V, you can try on ebay or yahoo auctions japan.
What games do you consider good

Well, I'm looking for anything that isn't Japanese-heavy or sports. Here's a small list of the games I'm interested in:

Nemesis
Salamander
Penguin Adventure
Andorogynus
Valis
Bosconian
Time Pilot
Rally X
Knightmare
Parodius
Sky Jaguar
Twinbee

These are mainly konami's, they are in english/japanse, they switch the language dependent on which kind of msx they are in. so english for european (usa msxes are hard to come by?) en japanse for a japanse msx. the only exception to this rule is metal gear, which is a different rom.

Alright, someone on Digital Press managed to hook me up with an FS-A1, so now I have an MSX again. I'm still on the lookout for games though, especially the ones on my list. I'm not interested in CIB copies; loose carts in good condition will do.
