	The '''MSX''' is an 8-bit home computer ~~released mostly in Japan~~ by ASCII and Microsoft. It has very similar hardware to the Colecovision and SG-1000 both graphical and sound wise. It was Japan's massively successful ~~console~~ before Nintendo's Famicom came along and dominated the console market, while the MSX continued to have steady competition with other home computers such as the NEC ~~PC8801~~. The '''MSX2''' was later developed and saw massive success with Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.		The '''MSX''' is an 8-bit home computer designed by ASCII and Microsoft to be a computer standard, similar to the 3DO. As a result, there are multiple manufacturers for the computer such as Sony, Panasonic and Philips. It has very similar hardware to the Colecovision and [[SG-1000]], both graphical and sound wise. It was Japan's massively successful gaming platform before Nintendo's Famicom came along and dominated the console market, while the MSX continued to have steady competition with other home computers such as the NEC PC-8801. Outside of Japan, it was only successful in the Netherlands, Spain, South Korea, Taiwan and the Middle East due to tough competition of the computer market elsewhere. Even then in South Korea and Taiwan, MSX games were ported to the SG-1000 and the [[Master System]] while Spain received and developed [[ZX Spectrum]] ports.

			The '''MSX2''' was later developed with improved graphical capabilities and saw massive success with Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.
