Hey,

I uploaded something little for you in the >>1779669 thread, but will open a new one so it won't be lost there.

>About Thomson MO5:

The Thomson MO5 is a home computer introduced in France in 1984 to compete against systems such as the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. At the same time, Thomson also released the up-market Thomson TO-7/70 machine. The MO5 was not sold in vast quantities outside of France, and was largely discontinued in favour of the improved Thomson MO6 in 1986. MO5s were also used as educational tools in French schools for a period.

The Thomson MO5 runs on a Motorola 6809E processor clocked at 1 MHz. It originally featured 48kB of RAM, a 40×25 text display, and built-in Microsoft BASIC.

The list of games in this zip is the pastebin, you might have missed it.

It's all the games for the system.

What games can be played without knowledge of French?

Try that MGT (Magnetik Tank) game in upper-right corner of this screenshot:
>>1896016

I don't see it listed in the pastebin, so maybe it's under a different name? I played it on Amstrad CPC and enjoyed it a lot. It's part action and puzzle game.

Anyway I'm interested if anyone knows what are the Thompson MO5 unique games (that didn't get ported to/from other machines)?

Also sounds like this would have been a nice system to learn machine language on, seeing how simple the CPU is, with small number of registers and opcodes. When I learned (on Z80), it seemed to me like that instruction set was huge (of course, compared to modern processors it's nothing...)
