[About "Relics MSX2"]
This game is an action-adventure game released by Bothtec in 1986. The protagonist, existing as a spirit, drifts within ruins that suddenly appeared from the sea. With no explanation of what the protagonist must do, the situation and objectives gradually become clear as you explore the ruins.
A key feature of this game is the "Spirit Ride" system, which allows you to possess the bodies of defeated enemies. Since the attack methods, HP, and status differ depending on the possessed body, choosing which body to possess will be crucial for progressing through the game.
Furthermore, the design of the characters and ruins with a strong sci-fi feel, the detailed animation of human-like characters, and the sound effects, such as the effectively incorporated sound of waves... These elements combine to create an experience that felt cinematic and stood out in the game scene of that era.
*USB keyboards are only supported for Japanese environments on Nintendo SwitchTM with Japanese 106, 108, or 109-key keyboards. There is no guarantee that all USB keyboards and keys will be inputtable.

*What is "Project EGG"?
The 1980s saw the existence of various platforms such as MSX, FM-7, and X1. PC games released during this period had a significant impact on today's entertainment. However, due to media degradation and platform changes, they have gradually become unplayable.
D4 Enterprise views retro games as cultural heritage and launched "Project EGG." With respect for game content, hardware, developers, and all retro game enthusiasts, we are sincerely committed to ensuring that retro games can be enjoyed forever.
