MSX was one of the large microcomputers that made up that golden age made up of systems like the ZX Spectrum, the Amstrad CPC and the Commodore 64, all machines that shared a strong individualism and a concrete way of doing things, with very different design philosophies and objectives. The case of the MSX is even more unique if possible because it does not make a machine that owns a company as was the case of the others, but a standard, a dream shared from Japan to establish common minimums and that any company could create its own MSX with the most appropriate characteristics.
