there's a spanish version of the spectrum that translates *some* of the BASIC keywords (!!) and lets you type Ñ. but i think the ROM is 95% the same

MSX was (i think) aiming at standardisation, which was a noble goal. at the time maybe that just meant "having a slightly less shit BASIC" or, god help us, CP/M

In Argentina and Brasil the MSX was super popular, more than C64

curious about asia -- especially, clearly japan can't have been using ASCII in those times -- i would like to see an asian retro computer museum i guess (but not boring American Zelda fanboys)

C64 seems to have been the 8-bit winner in most countries.
