Das MSX System ist eine Ansammlung von Heimcomputern von verschiedenen Herstellern (u.a. Canon, Casio, Daewoo, Fujitsu, Goldstar, Hitachi, JVC, Kyocera, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, Sony, Spectravideo, Toshiba, Yamaha, Yashica). Die Idee dieses Systems stammt tatsächlich von Microsoft (daher das M) und mit Hilfe der ASCII Corporation erschienen 1983 auch die ersten Rechner. Eigentlich sollten diese Heimcomputer nicht zum Gaming sein. Aber Konami und andere Publisher (darunter auch Activision, Square, Sony und Microsoft) unterstützen fleißig das System mit Games. Auf dem MSX1 machte ein gewisser Hideo Kojima auch seine ersten Gehversuche.
