The MSX (1) was actually quite successful in a number of countries outside Japan, especially Brazil and the Netherlands.

Also, SCUMMVM supports offically Wii now. Don’t know about Keyboard support though. The homebrew Linux supports it.

Actually, there is a little system support for USB keyboards as well. They can be used to enter messages on the message board.

Huh, lucasarts didn’t put their adventure games on DS due to size limitations? That’s odd, considering a ds port of the SCUMM engine was one of the first homebrewn DS apps.

I would love to have Quest for Glory, Monkey Island etc type classic games available on the Wii

The Wii does a great job of playing the games in their original forms.

i seem to recall reading that lucasarts toyed with the idea of putting their old adventure games on ds, but couldn’t due to size limitations. it may be the same for wiiware, but for a dvd-based product, things would be just fine. with sam & max hitting soon for the wii, maybe decent sales would inspire them to rerelease full throttle, day of the tentacle, and all those other greats.

as for the msx, it’s always good news to have a new system added.

Konami were the stars of the MSX and the MSX made them a company from a small team that was suing Sega for Frogers rights yearly,
I can’t wait for their games on VC,
also MSX was culture level hit in many third world countries people there recognized MSX immediately while know nothing about Commodor or Amiga.
