I'm one of the two cool MSX kids here! Out of the games brother SvennoJ mentioned, I had Athletic Land, River Raid, and King's Valley. Played a ton of games on the MSX from the age of 5 until 9~, and yet still missed out on many favorites that I would discover generations later (like the Metal Gear series, Aleste, SD Snatcher, Dragon Slayer, Ys). A great gaming computer with my only negative being the poor scrolling capability. MSX had amazing shumps that were compromised by the choppy side scrolling.
From car/racing games alone: I grew up playing Road Fighter, Car Fighter (a Casio game! much better than Konami's Road Fighter), and 3 other games that I can't find on the internet. Pain...
Played 14 of these:

Konami's SCC soundchip was the coolest thing in existence, the P4P GOAT! Look up Nemesis 2 (the original Gradius 2, which was an MSX exclusive) vs Nemesis 90 Kai (Nemesis 2 remake on the Sharp X68000). OG Nemesis 2's soundtrack was so much better:

Outside MSX, I had a Mattel Aquarius as a side platform. This system was a failure with a lifespan of just 4 months, but it did have a number of cool and enjoyable games and exclusives.
