#Wikipedia has an entry for #Zemina which has some more info about the brand, its company #SaehanTrading, a list of their games (though I have a hard time matching some of the stylised glyphs) and links to articles #MSX-based #gameConsole made by #Daewoo, the #Zemmix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zemina

Supposedly the #Nemesis3 is a release officially licensed by #Konami, but since it lacks the SCC chip and comes in such a generic box and label, I kinda doubt that.

@ljwrites
(Especially since the #GenerationMSX article it references actually mentions it's uncertain whether it's a pirate or officially licensed release...
The box on that #GenMSX page also does not match the one I have, which makes me wonder if this is an earlier bootleg release, or if it's a bootleg of a bootleg 😂.

Gen-MSX also has a list of #Zemina releases:

Once I actually have one of my #MSX #homeComputer systems set up, I can at least verify which games are *actually* on the ROMs in the carts, but they are currently in storage, and I can't easily set one of them up at the moment.

I'm primarily looking for the titles on the carts to be transcribed into actual Korean glyphs I can use to dig further online for more info. :)

I've tried #GoogleLens without much luck, probably because they are a bit too stylised.

@FiXato oooh, so it's the titles you need? Let's see...

First post, upper left: 사라만다 (saramanda, i.e. salamander) by 프로소프트
Upper right: cartridge also reading 사라만다
Lower left: 그라디우스 III (geuradius III, i.e. Gladius III) by 새한상사
Lower right: cartridge reading 그라디우스

Posting and continuing in case X craps out on me again...

@FiXato

Second post, upper left: 보스코니안 (Bosconian)
Upper right: "Always turn off the computer when you insert or remove the cartridge."
Lower left: 우샤 (usha, I guess it's a transliteration of wuxia?)
Lower right: The same warning about cartridge insertion/removal and the company name, 새한상사

@ljwrites
ah, #Bosconian! Yes, I do remember getting that game. Just didn't remember it being a Korean import. :)
Usha likely is a transliteration of #Uşas, of which I have the box here :)

@ljwrites
these transcriptions/translations have been extremely helpful, thanks! 💜

I hate to impose, but would you mind doing the same for the third post? ☺️ https://mastodon.social/@FiXato/105001824197206255

The first one of it has a similar picture as the Gradius/Gladius one, but a different title on it.
The second has a mech and probably is Thexder, but with how they reused existing game images, I'm not quite sure. The back spine has the title I think, and I assume the blurb on the front is a subtitle or description?

@FiXato No problem, I didn't see it in my particular view although I inferred there was a third post!

Third post, upper left: 아리안 특공대 (Arian Teukgongdae, "Aryan Special Forces." Kind of an... unfortunate implication, especially with the burning blimp and its associations.)
Upper right: Cartridge warning and 새한상사 (Saehan Sangsa, "Saehan Commercial Company")
Lower left: 화려한 변신 로보트 게임 (Hwaryeohan Byeonsin Roboteu Game, "Dazzling Transformations Robot Game," which I think is a description and not a title--the title seems to be what's on the other side, see below) by 새한상사
Lower right: 덱스더 (Dekseudeo, apparently "Dexder") in black letters against a pink background printed or glued over what may be Japanese glyphs? Then cartridge warning.
