What MSX/MSX2 games do you guys recommend?

The MSX is an OK system, but the scrolling functions quite often suck. I just don't find it all that usable for scrolling action or shooter games. My recommendation would be to stick with puzzle or RPG games that don't have to scroll a lot.

You're kidding, right? The MSX has some awesome shooters and platformers, choppy scrolling notwithstanding.

MSX is great for shooters. Haven't seen Zanac anywhere here, it was pretty good. Mostly go for Konami games on MSX, they're the best. Other games in my list: (mostly msx 1 games)

-Laydock
-Nemesis (Gradius)
-Time Pilot
-Sky Jaguar
-Circus Charlie
-The Goonies
-H.E.R.O
-King's Valley I and II
-Mopiranger
-Pooyan
-Road Fighter
-TwinBee
-Penguin Wars (or Penguin Kun Wars)

Nemesis 1-3 are the main reasons I have contemplated an MSX
