I never knew that Konami's never for MSX released game Jail Break did get released for Commodomoor:

E-bay item

Well, at least I got an idea how to box would look like :D

And with a closer look I see it's from the same UK dudes who made Green Beret!!

So, this is not an assurance on the overall quality .... ;-)

And if someone is ever to (re)make it on msx, it's probably better to look at the arcade version:

It looks like a side-scrolling Ikari....

It looks like an ancestor of Narc (wondering if Williams didn't get their idea from Jailbreak).

Found some new evidence that a MSX version of Jail Break was in the works:

https://archive.org/details/Computer_Video_Games_Issue_063_1...

It specifically lists a MSX Cartridge for 15.95 GBP as "Coming soon".

My guess is that the scrolling was way to blocky on the MSX version they were working on...
