...because all the cool kids are doing it!
Actually, though, I'm just wondering if anybody else here is into the MSX at all. I nabbed a decent little MSX2 machine this fall (and a flashcart some time later, thanks to agonizingly slow shipping from continental Europe,) and I've been having a blast with it. I've also been dabbling with programming on the thing, and it's a surprisingly sane, well-documented architecture for an 8-bit machine. Quite a nice variety of games for it, too, now that I've hacked up a NES controller to work with it...
