We have Green Beret, that's actually done by Konami, just a different kind of Konami,

then there's the Turtles game....

WEC Le Mans is also one (actually pretty good too, IMO)

...any others? Smile

Then there's Shinnyushain Tooru Kun (Mikie) ported by Sega to the SG-1000 and then ported to the MSX by SLotman, that doesn't really count Tongue
Were Sparkie, Juno First, Crazy Train ported by Sony or developed by Konami and just published by Sony?

I think the latter (because Billiards exists in several versions for example, one is a Sony version, but the game's identical).

WEC Le Mans is by Konami? Just bought one because of that information. Didn't see any konami texst in the package. Turtles has the name and the Logo on it. I wonder why it is always left out from the Konami games lists?

IIRC in the Wec Le Mans game there are outdoors in the track with the Konami logo. But I am sure that this game is a Arcade (made by Konami) to Spectrum to MSX game.

the original "Wec Le Mans " was an arcade cabinet made by konami "Imagine name of the game" brought allot of titles from konami to C64 it were weird ports of gradius,salamander,wec le mans.... etc

So do I. In fact I've always wondered how much work it would be to create a MSX2 remake of Green Beret. Technically the arcade game is fairly limited. The horizontal scroll is slow (meaning screen 4 or 5 could be used), only goes in one direction, the amount of enemies/sprites and movement patterns are limited, and there isn't huge "big boss" to animate either. With some minor restrictions, the game would probably be a decent port...

It would have been nice, back in 1986. The game is not *that* good to deserve another port now.
If you want to port a good old Konami arcade game, try Kicker, or Gyruss Big smile

I agree that Kicker is the best game out there, but it has a rotated monitor so you'll end up like the bombjack home conversions. Mostly nice games but you'll end up with a lot of "border" if you want to retain the same gameplay. Widening the game area will spill part of the fun imho

Beleive me, if you had spent as much money in the arcade playing Green beret, you'd want a MSX2 port *L*

I love Gyruss as well. Actually you can already play Gyrus on the MSX, using the Coleco ROM version with Colem. It's a decent port considering the MSX1/v9918 limitations with sprites.
