The issue with MSX Turbo R is that it didn’t offer anything different from what Amiga had offered years earlier. It was released to the public too late.
Not gonna lie, you kinda stretched this list...most of these games are MSX2 titles that run at faster speeds on a Turbo R. Sure there's the V9990, but it's just an external graphical expansion
I bought one a couple of months ago. Haven't hooked it up to anything yet, because I want to recap it first. There are not a lot of Turbo-R games around, and most of what you show in this video looks like it could be achieved on a regular MSX2, but well, that's the MSX platform for you... By the time the Turbo-R came out, most software houses didn't care about MSX anymore, and sadly it shows. I feel the Turbo-R is capable of so much more! If only you look at what is being made for the C64 these days. With many demos and games you just won't believe it's the same C64 from the 80s. Hopefully in time the same will happen to MSX.

"Agony" looks like the Amiga version! Anyway, spec-wise it seems to be on par with the SNES.
7:34 I had no idea f zero was a port!!!!!
Interesting list; but I wish you would give the name and year of the games. Some of the title screens are hard to read.
Robosoft stands out as the beginning of f zero
The Japanese weren't tech shy.....they beefed out there own platform to keep up with the st and amiga
I don't think they were competing with the Amiga or the Atari ST. They weren't sold in the same markets. Neither of those were sold in Asia
Nice list, sd snatcher however is msx2.
There is a Turbo R enhanced version: www.project-melancholia.org/about.html
@@TheLairdsLair Ah interesting. Thx.
Looks to be a good system- the equivalent of the Amiga/ST.
Or the Apple IIGS

Hi! The title of the first video game is missing. Could you please tell us its name? Thanks in advance.
Finally, I've found the title of the first video game. It's "Agony" by Psygnosis (1992). It was an Amiga game. It was not on the MSX, I believe.
It was originally an Amiga game but has a homebrew port for the MSX Turbo R
Please the names from the games
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Never played that, any good?
