| - The MSX was a home hobbyist computing platform developed in Japan and prevalent between 1983 and 1995. Conceived by Kazuhiko Nishi, VP of Microsoft Japan and Director of ASCII Corporation during this period, the MSX sought to establish a unified design standard among computer hardware manufacturers in the region. Though successful in Japan and other parts of the world, the MSX platform never reached the United States as a result of the country's chaotic PC market. Before the Famicom rose to prominence, the MSX was the platform of choice for some Japanese game developers, Konami and Hudson among them.
- Before the appearance and great success of the Nintendo Famicom, MSX was the platform for which major Japanese game studios, such as Konami and Hudson Soft, produced their titles. The Metal Gear and Castlevania series were originally written for MSX hardware. In 2006, Nintendo of Japan posted on its Virtual Console webpage that MSX games will be available for Wii Virtual Console.
- George McFly had an MSX clone called the Nemotech MPX 125 in an alternate timeline in 1986. Marty noted that the McFly family didn't own a computer in the original timeline.
- The MSX standard was developed in the early 1980s by ASCII and Microsoft Japan, with the goal of allowing different companies to make mutually compatible computers. Hence the acronym, "Machines with Software eXchangeability". That was still a bit of a crazy idea back then, but it worked: although it remained pretty much unknown in the USA, it had a huge following in Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Argentina, Soviet Union, and parts of Europe and the Middle-East. Not only it was a fine all-purpose home computer, it was a really damn good game machine. Note: this list is only for games compatible with the first generation MSX machines. MSX2 games must go on their own page. Many games have slightly different MSX and MSX2 versions; in such cases, the MSX2 version is usually superior, so add them only to the MSX2 page.
- MSX was the name of a standardized home computer architecture, first announced by Microsoft in June 16, 1983, conceived by Kazuhiko Nishi, then Vice-president at Microsoft Japan and Director at ASCII Corporation. It is said that Microsoft led the project as an attempt to create unified standards among hardware makers. Despite Microsoft's involvement, the MSX-based machines were seldom seen in the United States, but were popular mostly in Japan, the Middle East, Brazil, the Soviet Union, the Netherlands,[citation needed] Spain, and to a lesser extent, several other European countries. It is difficult to estimate how many MSX computers were sold worldwide, but eventually 5 million MSX-based units were sold in Japan alone. Before the appearance and great success of Nintendo's Family Computer, MSX was the platform for which major Japanese game studios, such as Konami and Hudson Soft, produced software titles. The Metal Gear series, for example, was originally written for MSX hardware.
