Very true.
. Well, I only know one game by Codemasters for the MSX, so it's no surprise. I think only their very first game, BMX Simulator, was published for the MSX. (I once read an interview with them, saying this game was their first game ever).
And before anyone says, YES, the MSX could handle it, though it wouldn't be half as good as the NES one, for sure. Unless if the guy who made Sonyc coded it
