The MSX 1 standard was quite a popular system, especially in Japan and Europe, so the next generation of machines, MSX 2, was launched with a significant upgrade in graphics capabilities.
In this series, I am going to look at and play the MSX 2 games in my collection to showcase what the system could do.
In this episode, we look at Aleste by Compile.

I found a nice copy of an Atari 5200 I didn't have from a seller in the USA. At the same time, I grabbed another two boxed games as upgrades and to share the postage cost.
Let's see what games I found and give them a play!

Been after a copy of War of the Worlds for a while and quite liked the others in the bundle.
I am a big fan of the Neo Geo hardware and the games that came out for the system, especially the shoot-em-up titles. I have been slowly collecting MVS arcade cartridges as I come across them, and the game is one I would like to play. Recently, I found an old Facebook Marketplace listing with a number of titles still available for sale for very reasonable prices. I grabbed two of them, shoot 'em ups of course, let's try them out together.

It has the same side profile as a Nichibutsu Moon Cresta but the monitor is angled back.
It came with a Sega Wonderboy PCB, not 100% sure that was the original title, but the side profile also matches that but the monitor angle and the side art are of course not what I would expect.
Found a Wonderboy PCB locally and it works! Well mostly, have only cleaned the edge connector need to reseat all the chips etc first before looking further.
Tested it with controls and you can start the game and play, so all good so far.
