Well, yoiu can't really say that my Goldstar isn't a computer. It's just a
smashed computer. And the computing aspect is important. After all, the entire
design of the Goldstar is based on the fact that it's a computer. Otherwise, I
might just as well be collecting those plastic mock-up computers they
sometimes use in office displays at IKEA or even old vacuum cleaners.
It's a bit of a cross between an interest in computers and an interest in
industrial design.
Had there not been a Z80 in the HC-200, it would just have been another
pretty plastic box.

A Spanish MSX Group "Matra" visited to this Fair. I lent Spanish stand to
them. They showed and did Promotion play of SEX BOMB BUNNY. And this Game has
tema song of Majingar-Z! Why they know Japanese TV animation?
