So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
Notes: Look for more differences between the ROM and disk releases.

Crimson is a fairly standard J-RPG for the MSX2. It was also released for the PC-88 and Sharp X1.

Revisional Differences

Crimson has two known releases, one being on cartridge and another on floppy disk.

  • The cartridge release requires a Panasoft PAC to save data.
  • The disk release has MSX-MUSIC support, and a different music track which uses the FM channels can be heard by pressing Return on the title screen.
  • The disk release contains more event CGs, such as when entering a dungeon or a city.
