MSX

MSX[a] is a standardized computer architecture which was developed by ASCII Corporation in partnership with Microsoft. Various manufacturers, including Sony, Yamaha, and Panasonic, produced MSX units, with the first models releasing on October 21, 1983.
Most MSX computers use 8-bit CPUs based on the Zilog Z80 processor. The original MSX line was succeeded by the MSX2[b] line in 1985, which in turn was succeeded by the MSX2+[c] line in 1988. The final version of the MSX was the MSX Turbo R[d] line released in 1990, which, unlike its predecessors, featured a 16-bit custom processor known as the R800, which was backwards-compatible with previous MSX software; the Turbo R line was exclusively made by Panasonic and was a commercial failure, and it was discontinued in 1993.
The first and only Megami Tensei game released on the platform was Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei, which released in July of 1987.
