A review of the MSX conversion of Namco's Bosconian, published by them (on their Namcot label) in 1984, marking the first MSX game I've covered on the channel.

Along with that, I also look at Mastertronic's "Bosconian '87", a licensed and 'updated' take on the game for both the ZX Spectrum, and Commodore 64.

Arcade Bosconian footage recorded via MAME, with the MSX, ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 footage all recorded off original hardware. Watch at 720p50 for the absolute best quality!
