The MSXtra Zen
Ultimate Play the Game – The "Complete" Complete List
The MSXtra Zen
Ultimate Play the Game – The "Complete" Complete List
~100 official & unofficial UPtG releases for MSX, plus a couple for cousin ColecoVision and weird uncle TI-99/4a.
All presented on this one page, which is rather long – use index for convenience
There are a lot of "complete" lists out there,
none being quite that or at all near.
I don't claim this list to be that either
(I know there are more out there),
but it certainly is the MOST complete.
If you have corrections, additions or missing/better artwork for this list,
submit them here or bleet me (with referential links or images, please).
If you have one of these releases for sale, send me a link to your site,
listing or direct 'buy-button' and I'll add it next to corresponding game(s).
