The MSX standard has been initially defined to product a range of microcomoputers. However, there are game consoles without keyboard, based on the MSX hardware. These MSX consoles have been released only in Korea, but an importation could have been made to France. Indeed, following the Micronews magazine, many people thought that the famous Maubert Electronic shop had the intention to make that possible. Selled under the Zemmix label (what means it's funny in Korean) and manufactured by the giant Korean company Daewoo in the eighties, these consoles should have make happy thousands of European MSX fans.

Zemmix CPC-50 (Hardware MSX1 - 1983/84)

It's the first Zemmix console, with a design very close to the Sega Master System 2, and was available in 3 different colors. Pink and blue - CPC-50P White and pink - CPC-50W Blue and yellow - CPC-50B

Zemmix Superboy (Hardware MSX1 - 1985)

Probably the most rare model, it's a TV/MSX combo. I guess the TV has a size of 36 cm, is in the NTSC format and comes with a MSX1 embedded. Infos and pictures (I should say the picture) about this machine are rare. What a pity ! The concept was promising for all the people who were playing on the TV in the living room (no more disputes !!)

Zemmix CPC-51 "Victory" (Hardware MSX1 - 1986)

Zemmix redesigns the CPC-50 to give a new push to the sellings of his console. We have here a futurist look with a V shape, V like Victory, his new surname. But it keeps a MSX1 hardware inside. It is selled with a specific joystick and can be connected to a keyboard, what converts it into a real computer. Different colors are available for this console. Red and black - CPC-51R The beast !!! The joystick Console and joystick The back connections White and grey - CPC-51W A nice look ! Front side Right side - the run/stop switch Back side with the connections Blue, yellow and black - CPC-51B The most original color 2 variants of the CPC-51B model

Probably the most original console, conceived for the youngest users (in the My First Sony spirit). Mix beween a console (funny and easy to use) and a computer (there's indeed a keyboard), this machine can be viewed as a range by itself. Different accessories come with this machine : monitor, joystick, ordering, awakening box; it has a very strange look (perfect symmmetry and inclined keys) and seems conceived to be used simultaneously by 2 players. The console with the ordering base, the monitor and the disk drive The monitor Side view, the adjusting screws seem like toys Many connectors on the back side of the console The console with its perfect symmetry (for 2 players) The joystick The awakening box for the youngest users The ordering base to put the monitor and range the cartridges The external transformer The manual and a cartridge for the awakening extension The awakening extension located on the console

Zemmix CPC-61 "Super Victory" (Hardware MSX2 - 1990)

This model, as part of the new generation of consoles, has a wiser look; it is also more simple, standing back by comparison with the 51 design. A disk drive can be connected to the console on the cartridge slot. This machine was available in 2 colors. White and pink - CPC-61W View from the top The back connections Action ! The disk drive connected to the console Red and black - CPC-61R The reset button is clearly visible (green)
