Metal Gear

Does anyone here know anything about the unreleased Metal Gear game by Ultra?

I have a scan of the original advert that featured screens of the C64, PC and Amiga versions but haven't managed to find any more info.

Anyone?

If anyone knows for definite if this was previewed in an Amiga magazine then I'd love to know which issue.

This would have made a nice addition to the Amiga library even if it was an 8-bit port. You can play the two originals on the PS2 when you buy "Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence".

They are the best versions ported from the MSX, Given the usual quality treatment you have come to expect from anything to do with Metal Gear.

It is a shame most developers don't give old games the treatment they deserve on new console game packs.

Well I never! So there was plans for this to be released on Amiga once upon a time then?! What happened?

Amiga version would of sucked if it was released by Ultra. NES version sucked compared to MSX

the nes verion seems to be near of the msx one.
Is there someone who wanna try to have the amiga version from ultra or konami? i don't think so but who knows.
command guys this could be the biggest challenge of all the time with magic carpet for cd32 (i saw screenshots by the past)

This game was never previewed in europe, got no ads here, and never hit the shelves. I guess we've been lucky on this one. Look at contra, the big pile of crap from Konami beuarrkkk

we loose a good game i think, it's true there is more than one bad conversion from konami but metal gear wasn't a question of graphics, it wasn't.
It seems to be more than very easy to make a good conversion from msx or nes version, theirs hardwares was so craps again the amiga even the worst coder could make metal gear on amiga, i think.
