Metrocross - a brand new core for the MiSTer FPGA to play right now
6A brand new core has landed for the MiSTer FPGA, and this time it’s Metrocross! The high-speed, futuristic footrace from the golden age of arcades is now fully playable on MiSTer — and it’s glorious. Whether you remember dodging soda cans in the '80s or you’ve never even heard of Namco's wild platform racer, this is one retro blast you need to check out.
In this video, I showcase the new Metrocross core in action on the MiSTer FPGA, go over how it plays, what makes it unique, and why this addition is such a big win for arcade preservation and retro gamers. This isn’t just about nostalgia — it’s about experiencing arcade history the way it was meant to be played: zero lag, pixel perfect, and ridiculously fun.
Whether you're into MiSTer FPGA, arcade cabinets, or just digging into the weird and wonderful back catalogue of games you almost forgot existed, this one’s for you. Plus, there’s something very satisfying about watching a guy in neon green tights sprint over exploding tiles like it’s a totally normal day.
Don’t miss this one if you're building out your MiSTer library, chasing arcade perfection, or just here to discover cool games from gaming’s wild past.
