M.A.S.K. III - Venom Strikes Back was the second official M.A.S.K. game released in 1988 for the MSX. Its predecessor, M.A.S.K. II, was released a year earlier. MASK I unfortunately was only released for ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC.

In this game you control Matt Trakker on his exploration of the moon, while looking for his brother Scott Trakker, who has been held captive by VENOM.

I've included the tediously long cassette loading sequence, so you can get a feel for the horrible experience that comes with having to load games from cassettes on the MSX homecomputer. ;-)
This recording only shows the cassette loading + intro screen, accompanied by the awesome PSG music that Gremlin created.
