Playstation Classic - REAL Metal Gear 1 and 2! MSX! Control WIP Demonstration! Hideo Kojima FTW!
0Like many, I also grew up with Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge on NES! But, low and behold, found out many years later...about the REAL and TRUE Metal Gear 1 on MSX, which was truly Hideo Kojima...And, that he had absolutely nothing to do with the former two on NES, and in fact despised their existence!
I am not about to Google things. But, Mandela Effect might be in play here. I am not 110 percent certain on whether or not Hideo had anything to do with 2 on MSX! So, fill me in if he did! I try to have fun with the videos, and go entirely from memory, without googling stuff and making it too clinical of an experience! It is more fun to keep things to the "pre internet days" as far as heresay and such!
In any case, Controls were an issue for the longest time with the PC Cores, such as MSX, C64, CPC Amstrad, etc, on the Mini Classics! Pre USB Host, we didn't have keyboard capabilities to even play most of these games!
But, I made it a point to really impress upon how needed keyboard to controller mapping was...And, R-Type helped with a pseudo mapper, which was awesome for the time. Then, fr500 helped incorporate it RetroArch and Core wise, so it helped nearly every one of the PC Cores! Who the hell wants to pull up a virtual keyboard, while playing Turrican, JUST to do the special move! It is an action game, not turn based!
Enjoy the Video. With the Next Release, you will be able to easily call upon the power of Hideo Kojima Mode Activate, and run these games automatically with SNES Controller Equivalent and up!
