My sealed MSX collection

wow i love the sealed Twinbee ! really nice MSX collection start !

Yes, the Twinbee is nice, but in fact, the only game i know from the pictures.

Probably you could tell us something about how much you need to pay for sealed MSX games and how hard it is to find those?

yep this infos would be nice to know

, you are right Shensu !

Furthermore i must admit that i love the all Twinbee games ...

I'm curious... Is there any reason why they are mostly all Konami games, or is that just the way it turned out? Are Konami games easier to find sealed, or do you collect sealed Konami games, or are these more common / rarer titles than others?

I collect mainly Konami and Sony MSX games and most of my collection (80+ games) are just complete. The Konami games are the most popular to collect for the system and their availability is the best for at least of the more common titles.
I mainly collect complete games and these are few exceptions. There just isn't that many sealed games available for the system.

That Circus Charlie which I have with one other game are the most common to see sealed, the others are just good luck.
I have seen sealed copies of maybe ten Konami titles.

The prices for the selade ones are of course higher than for the not sealed ones. If common game is sold for let say 20e it may be sold for 50e when sealed. I think that Comic Bakery which I have would fetch a nice price if I would sell it since the game is pretty hard to come by even just complete and in good shape.

Next I should post Images of few items for other systems I have sealed.

I would imagine that Metal Gear would fetch quite a lot of money if found!

Maybe back in the day Konami found it easy to release games on this format as Nintendo had a cap on how many games another company could release on the NES per year, so this enabled Konami to expand their ideas and maybe just port over the more successful titles to the NES

Pretty cool to see another MSX fan around.

Especially the sealed Comic Bakery is a keeper as the game is indeed quite hard to come by complete let alone sealed.

MSX is a system I collect for mostly out of Nostalgia though, so I don´t care too much for games being sealed. I suppose I do have around 50 or so complete titles (not counting tapes and the sort of stuff) I have a lot of loose carts too *again for playing)

Only game I have sealed is Monkey Academy (also Konami), which to my knowledge is along with Circus Charlie the easiest Konami game to find sealed.
I do have a sealed Star Soldier, but I am pretty sure it's resealed by a trading shop.

Maybe (as in: I really don't know

), but don't underestimate popularity of the MSX in Japan in the late eighties (and very nineties).
It wasn't as huge as NES of course, but still.
