You guys in the UK only enjoyed the MSX-1, later models where never released there

Nemesis 2 and later all had the SCC sound chips mounted in the cartridge, which greatly improved the sound. Of course this sound chip is emulated by openMSX
You are right about the scrolling. MSX has a bad track record on this. Hardware smooth scrolling in all directions was not introduced till the MSX2+.

But talking about Nemesis 2 and smooth scrolling: some hackers patch it, so it scrolls rather smooth on MSX-2+ and higher. You can see an example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a13QWpZ1Cao!

I can also recommend the MSX2(+) konami game which is very similar: Space Manbow.
