Planet X9 is a port of the game Planet X3, but this time it’s not a Spectrum game – it’s a DOS game. Experience real-time strategy on your MSX like never before with this highly demanding game, utilizing the V9990 video and OPL4.

There aren’t many Real-Time-Strategy (RTS) games for the classic MSX system, but this one is definitely worth your attention. With the original PC version author’s approval, Robosoft has brought an amazing RTS that could keep you entertained for weeks, months, or perhaps even years to come!

This game has everything you need to scratch your Real Time Strategy itch: three types of resources, seven unique buildings, and six distinct units, each with a different purpose. Some are good for collecting resources, others are best for exploring, while units like the Heavy Tank are built for battling enemy units.

So, gather your resources, fortify your defenses, plan a counterattack, locate enemy bases, and destroy them all in this exciting new dev entry.

We recommend to thoroughly read the included manual if you’re planning to beat the game. This game is *very* deep. We’ve added the runopenmsx.cmd file to the package to help you get it running quickly with all the necessary peripherals.
