InfraMan Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Here is a proper video: Oh yeah, that looks much better! I've always had a soft spot for the GB version, it's not a bad little game at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 metal gear is on msx 2 i think msx 2 game can be ported to the colecovision ??? Sure, if you downgrade the graphics. But in Metal Gear's case, it may not be the best idea. See the mockup I did below to compare. The CV version would be playable, but not all that pretty... The MSX2's color depth actually contribute to give the game a certain atmosphere, which I think is a little lost with the CV's limited 16-color palette. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opcode Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 And who is going to convert 1Mbit worth of graphics? Not to mention that the MSX2 has more scanlines, 20 more to be precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I would highly prefer Castlevania over Metal Gear Edited April 5, 2014 by retroillucid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Tarzilla Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Here is a proper video: Yep, that's more like it. I was a little confused by the vines as I had screens shots of that game on my hard drive that I took myself years ago with some emulator.

And you can do the same game with totally renewed graphism that fit better to coleco limitation. And give the game its own atmosphere.

CrazyBoss Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I dont think is easy to do. MSX2 have 8 sprites pr. line, and you can have 2 pixel close to each other in different color. Metalgear also might be use "software Sprites", and will be kind of hard to emulate on a CV Graphics Chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
