The sound was a custom Konami wave table sound chip added to some game carts, it really boosted the basic msx sound (to 8 channels) which was similar to a spectrum +2. As for graphics, they had some nice hardware but unfortunately no hardware scrolling, hence the blocky scrolling. Still an absolute classic though with some of Konami’s best games at the time.

Hardware limitations: [exist]
Konami: No

Though MSX's graphics processor was inferior to NES, its sound chip was better imho. At least tunes of Nemesis 3 are dope.

Gotta admire the gall to add a Bad Ending condition to a shmup like this. Idk if you need the Sensor device, but you definitely need the shield for the better ending.
Also eyeball warning @46:55

There are 3 classes. You must find the red, blue and green maps.

1:53 Who is James Burton? pilot of Vic Viper? I've played a lot of Gradius, but never heard the name, or the Vixen fighters. Does this represent a port of any other title? It's not exactly Gradius 3 as we had on SNES

[@VicViperT831b]

Iirc, James is the pilot specifically in the MSX Nemesis (Gradius) games, and they kinda follow their own plot for the most part.

No credits roll... I wonder if the same composer worked on this as on thunder cross.

[@daviddyer3543]

Is this running in screen 4 or 5?
