any update?

...there are 21 likes on this request,which means there are 21 people who agree that they should be added and only 1 that disagrees. pretty sure that is an acceptable percentage to add something. i am sure a few people disagreed when adding anything else before. no one can satisfy everyone,but satisfying the absolute majority instead of nobody is certainly the best option.

as for the games number,you can simply add the easiest,and ,relatively comprehensive, list to add (it even has a full database option)

and,if someone has an extra game not listed then they can add it using the contributor option

the MSX community is small. if you dont add any games then it would be as if the systems werent added in the first place. very few people will go through the effort required to add them.and it would be meaningless. so please,atleast add one of the lists so that we have a good amount of games,without needing to manually enter over a 1000 games.

I am a serious MSX collector and i have many MSX systems in the US lol,so you sure as heck arent the only one XD

yes,the more rare games dont have EU versions. so is the case for the saturn too. and we have a JP saturn section. what is different in what you said between the saturn and the MSX? heck,the MSX was far more successful in EU than the Saturn was lol,yet we have a JP Saturn section with no issue.

the example you gave doesnt fit. "MSX" is the same everywhere but "NES" is different from "Famicom". you cant plug an NES game into a famicom. so a famicom collector is most likely not an NES collector and vice versa. thus, NES collectors in japan are a small niche that is willing to pay high prices for NES games there,which isnt the case with MSX collectors who can buy a copy from anywhere and it would work and thus wouldnt be willing to get ripped off.

Eitherway, resellers in a country ALWAYS ask for higher prices when they are selling it as an export. that happens with every single game system lol. it also applies to EU games,which are far more expensive than JP games. everything you are talking about happens with every system that ever got categorized and priced.

I know i as a serious collector would like to see my (Mostly Japanese)MSX Collection categorized neatly and added to my collection here. the MSX is pretty much the only major system I have that isnt added to here lol. about time too,as it has been more than 2 years since i first requested it XD

as you wish. just make sure to separate the MSX and the MSX 2 into separate libraries please :)

what you are saying makes no sense. first, FAR more MSX systems and games were sold in Japan than EU, and the EU versions are far more coveted due to US collectors too wanting it because it is the only english version. so the rarity and prices of EU MSX games are far higher than the rarity and prices for Japanese MSX games in average.

as for the "inflated online prices" stuff,i have literally seen that claim for every single console i ever collected for. it is the most common collector claim and complaint ever. didnt stop every other system here from having the prices listed though. 

as for the "large sample",take a look at some of the systems hosted. pretty certain far more MSX stuff is for sale than Game.com stuff or Odyssey 2 stuff lol. and if a game is that freaking rare that it takes years to be listed again then it should by all means be expensive.

I couldnt find one 100% definitive list for the MSX and MSX2. i found several lists that could be helpful together though.

this one seems like the best one of the bunch. and it lists the release region and system too (btw,the MSX was also popular in the middle east. i recommend you add Middle East releases to the European section). the list also seems to have an option to download its software database.

other than that, the most obvious is wikipedia,which lists 592games for the various incarnations (for convenience, count the MSX2+ and the MSX Turbo R as MSX2. they were slightly enhanced models,and making 2 categories (an MSX one and an MSX2 one) is more than enough)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MSX_games

this one is easy to use and nicely arranged,with about 1200 games total. it also includes very obscure games that the Wiki doesnt mention:

the following link is the most comprehensive one by far,with over 6000 entries. many are repeats though:

this link supposedly has all the MSX games that released in Spain (235 entries).

took me a good bit to find those links. hope this helps you put it ;)

...there were no NTSC MSX games at all to my knowledge. the System was DOA in america,and only one or two MSX system models ever arrived there. It was hugely successful pretty much everywhere else but america though.

Well,it didn't show up under the T letter in the "alphabetical order menu",so I think some games exist but haven't (yet?)shown up in the menu.

you have Joe & mac for the famicom but none of its sequels (Tatakae Genshijin 2 and  Tatakae Genshijin 3)

this would be a nice thing to have :)
