@syx oh, and the reason @bitsofbas suggested to get a Japanese model if you are in the USA is mostly because those models will have a voltage closer to your native one, as European models tend to be designed for 220V or 240V.
#MSX2Plus and #turboR bring a newer VDP, which may be nice, but the amount of games that support it, is limited.
#MSXTurboR adds support for the #R800 CPU in addition to the previous generations' #Z80, which certainly can give a nice speed boost, especially in day-to-day software like file managers when browsing solid state media with large directories, but it comes with a huge price markup, and only a limited catalogue of games.

For comparison, here's the amounts of software indexed in #GenerationMSX per generation of #MSX:

• MSX (4193)
• #MSX2 (2972)
• MSX2+ (145)
• Turbo-R (179)

You can use https://www.generation-msx.nl/software/result?sy%5B%5D=Turbo-R&sy%5B%5D=MSX2%2B to list all MSX2+ and turboR software indexed in #GenMSX to get an idea of what kind of games support those generations, or use the checkboxes in the sidebar to filter in/out other generations or specs.

(Especially since the #GenerationMSX article it references actually mentions it's uncertain whether it's a pirate or officially licensed release...
The box on that #GenMSX page also does not match the one I have, which makes me wonder if this is an earlier bootleg release, or if it's a bootleg of a bootleg 😂.

Gen-MSX also has a list of #Zemina releases:

Dare I ask my #Korean followers to #transcribe and perhaps #translate a couple of #bootleg #MSX #gameCartridge titles for me, so I can match them up with the right boxes and supply them to the #GenerationMSX website as alternative releases as part of my #softwarePreservation activities?

before it's sold, it should preferably at least be dumped and its covers and release info added to #GenerationMSX. :)

Oh, and I wonder if this version has the copy protection that's mentioned on #Wikipedia:

«There is also a form of copy protection: if an illegal copy of the game was detected, then once the player entered the church, instead of "Ave Maria" playing, a voice would cry "Pirata!" (Spanish for "pirate") ten times in descending tones before the game crashed.»
