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.

Well done hOffman! And music sounds very original to me. Great you made it til the end. Delivering a full polished game is a big (but rewarding) task |

Congratulations on the accuracy and proficiency of the conversion! Finally a game that uses the cd32 joypad with all its keys! Music made in an excellent way, many options welcome as the possibility to change between 50hz and 60hz to enlarge the screen! Congratulations guys sure a fantastic job !!! They should take you as an example when it comes to ports! Amigans go and download it is absolutely worth it !!

Fantastic news. Well done H0ffman and everyone else that contributed. Never played this, so it is going to be a real treat to try out on my freshly refurbished A500
