Metal Gear - Amiga Port - Released!
 

Originally released in 1987 for the MSX2, Metal Gear became an instant classic. Designed by the legendary Hideo Kojima, it spawned a huge franchise in stealth gameplay and is considered one of the top games from the platform. While there are ports for the NES, Spectrum and C64 they were missing a lot of the key details from the original game. An Amiga version was once advertised in a magazine but sadly was consigned to myth and legend. That is until now.

Based on a full and commented disassembly by Manuel Pazos of the original MSX2 game cartridge, this Amiga port has been built to ensure as near a perfect conversion as possible. Gameplay elements remain intact while additional features have been layered on-top to ensure the fullest experience possible of Metal Gear on the Amiga.

• Code ported from Z80 to 68000 assembly by Hoffman
• Gameplay adjusted to work at full 50hz/60hz
• No slow-downs or sprite flicker
• Multiple game modes
  • English Remix Fan Translation
  • Original European Version

• Enhanced Amiga Soundtrack and SFX by Hoffman

• Full support for CD32 gamepad for keyboard-less gameplay
• Additional character graphics by Toni Galvez
• All new ending / credits section
• For any Amiga with 512kb Chip Ram + 512k Other Ram
• Bootable disk image for low spec Amigas
