Stop the Express, known as Bousou Tokkyuu SOS (暴走特急SOS) in Japan, is an action game, originally developed by Hudson Soft for the Sharp X1 personal computer. Under their Honeybee Soft label, Hudson Soft published a version for the MSX computers in 1984, being distributed by Nihon Softbank and only in cassette tape format. It was released on United Kingdom at some point in 1985 by Hudson's British subsidiary, Hudson Soft UK, marking its debut in Europe. None of its official releases for MSX computers were available in ROM cartridge or floppy disks. A year later after its release on the MSX, the game received a sequel on the Famicom as Challenger. Due to its difficulty and the increased number of action segments, Challenger proved to be superior over its prequel in every way.

The MSX version received an unlicensed port for the Sega Master System in South Korea, appearing on several mulitcarts. Considering the game was not released in cartridge format, it is a very odd pick for its inclusion.
