MSX

Oh yeah, it was one of the bonus additions to Volume 1.

Because they gave you the MSX version, Metal Gear 1, and the NES version.

So they gave you both.

Which I thought, actually, Metal Gear Collection Volume 1 is pretty good value for what you

Okay, I didn't realize Snake's Revenge is on that.

Oh yeah.

Yeah, it's Metal Gear 1 and 2, MSX version, NES version of 1, Snake's Revenge, and then Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3.

Yeah, it's actually not a bad deal at all.

Lots of my friends were picking it up.

Um, they kind of knew a little bit about the Metal Gear franchise, those old MSX games.

Obviously top-down, very different.

But I, I, I'd never touched it.

Mm-hmm

...

the MSX games where you could use it-

Yeah

On each level, you must detonate your bombs to blow up guards and blocks to find exits and power-ups.

It was designed for Japanese machines first with 1985 releases on the MSX and Famicom, and a 1989 Hudson Soft NES release, and later released in Europe for the ST, Amiga, and other machines.

The Atari ST version was called Dynablaster, but it's the same game and not a clone, and released by Ubisoft in the UK in 1992.

It's an incredibly well-liked ST game, sitting at number 24 out of 599 ranked games on Mobi, putting it in the top 5% of all ST games.

There's games that...

You may want to actually go back to the old MSX, not the NES version, but the actual MSX.

I

know the NES ones are different and not canon.

I was just going to do the MSX ones.

Yeah, and here's the thing about those two MSX games is that they're actually good.

Yes.

They're actually playable.

I think it was the law 11,723, I don't remember well, but I think it was that one.

and they start to apply it in the games, but well, there were already computing businesses, everyone offered games, of MSX, of Spectrum, nothing.

I did this at home, I did this in a room that I had at home and I started, nothing, I started publishing and there were people.

Let

And obviously it helped me financially, it helped me with the business.

And that's where we set up the first business Megasoft.

And we had already added event, because, let's see, the sale of games was something, but well, then we started selling PCs, we started selling monitors, we started selling copiers, we started selling nothing, the XT PCs, the 286, the 386, the Pentium 1, the Pentium 2, And we were mounting more computers, MSX, Spectrum.

We sold games for all platforms.

which apparently is really good like i've seen reviews say that ghost babbles an impressively good metal gear game that was on game boy color so

yeah it's very reminiscent of um the uh what's that system called the the like mint not i Dang it, MSX.

That's what those original Metal Gear games were on.

It's reminiscent of the MSX Metal Gear games, which are in the Volume 1 collection.

Yeah, so I thought that was a good way to tie it all together.

But yeah, maybe on sale, because...

I saw it when I was in Japan last year, and I almost picked it up because I like Mappy a lot, but I didn't.

You know, don't you find it strange that this didn't, I mean, because this could have been ported to something like the X68000 or even MSX with the popularity it had.

That's why I was asking, because it's strange to me that you never saw this one.

And, you know, of course it came out in the Namco Collections.

Oh, really? Yeah.

Yeah.

This game also got an MSX release in 1984.

Oh, it did?
