Other laserdiscs than MSX ones
A futuristic thing about MSX is that it was the first homecomputer (I think) which had a few games released for it on laserdisc. See also www.mccw.hetlab.tk/93/msxlaserdisc/en.ht
I'm always crazy with product codes, because they might reveal other (unreleased) titles. So, I started googling on the SS098 series and found the following list (MSX titles included):
Interesting how MSX games are completely mixed with videos ("Videographics") which are about Space (which matches a few of the games), film makers (I guess that's what Visual Pathfinders is about) and Sound Effects. And with that, it's all there is in this series, it seems.
I couldn't find any titles with product codes similar to the other MSX laserdiscs (mostly PG00n-nnXX series). Note that these have interesting stuff encoded at the end. I think KO is Konami (Badlands), and SG is SEGA (Astron Belt). No idea what TO is for...could be Toshiba, Toho, Tokuma Shoten, Tomo, or even something else... Any idea?
EDIT: note that SS098-0003 is called Nihonkai Daikaisen - Umi Yukaba and not "Umi Yakuba" as many sites say. (This may have been my own fault, but OK, it's hereby corrected!)
