Battle Cross
Battle Cross on MSX1
Battle Cross is an action racing game that arrived in Japan exclusively in 1994 for the MSX1, published by Imagineer. It blends traditional high-speed driving with combat elements, a formula that was gaining traction on 16‑bit consoles but rare on the aging MSX1 platform. This late‑era release represents one of the more ambitious attempts to squeeze a hybrid racing experience out of the hardware.
How to Play Battle Cross Online
Press Enter to start the game from the title screen. Since this is a Japanese‑only release, the menus are in Japanese; you may need to experiment with Select to toggle options or confirm your choice. The main goal is to race against other vehicles while avoiding obstacles and using weapons to knock out opponents. Use Arrow Keys to steer and X or S to accelerate or fire weapons - the exact assignment depends on the control configuration chosen at the title screen. Watch for power‑ups on the track that give temporary boosts or offensive abilities. The race is typically a short sprint, and finishing first is the only way to progress to the next course. There is no save feature, so you will need to complete the game in one session or rely on a password system if present (often indicated by a screen after a victory).
