About

With the success of the first two volumes, Konami confirms with this third opus that the Game Collection series is not just a commercial exercise: it is a real showcase of know-how. The RA008 also includes several iconic titles from the Konami MSX catalogue, at a time when the publisher continued to push the technical limits of the machine with disconcerting regularity.

This volume is part of a pivotal period for the Japanese MSX. In 1988, the MSX2 was still a living and active platform, but the signals of change multiplied. Konami, faithful to the end, nevertheless continues to treat his productions for a user base that makes him well. These RA compilations are now considered as the last major monuments of Konami's commitment to the Japanese 8-bit computer.

Find a complete copy — box, diskette and manual in good condition — today is a true hunter's patience.

Like its serial brothers, the RA008 is also of interest to hardware enthusiasts: some titles exploit the extended sound capabilities of the SCC or SCC+ chip on compatible hardware, for a typically Konami MSX sound signature, which has become legendary in Japanese chiptune circles.
