A dear childhood classic, it's a bit jank with the platforming and the camera is just dreadful buut it's got a ton of charm, some memorable set pieces and one of my personal favorite soundtracks of any game.

How I wish this game got a remaster or even a port on modern consoles.

Huh so it seems, thanks for elaborating. I guess it makes sense they managed to wrestle more processing out of the system since it seems like it came out like 5 years after the original version.

I may check that version out instead if I want experience the game more.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Gave this one a shot, pretty cool when trying to imagine myself in the 80s in a train playing this on my gameboy, it does all the parts that make a Wars game (minus the super powers and whatnot that came later.) It's also got the grid set up in such a way that you got 6 directions you can move into, that's kinda cool.

Other than that, it's painfully slow, I guess the cost of having a functional AI on the gameboy means its gonna take a while for it to calculate its moves, I'm also not that huge on the choice of Fog of War making the entire map obscured, though it could again be a hardware limitation thing.

Was about to say the same thing

I still remember seeing that cover art in magazines and thinking how cool the concept of a game starring Luigi was, I was a fan of color green when I was a kid so I liked Luigi.

Boy did I dodge a bullet there, I think my dad knew better about what kind of game it was.

One of the most misleading video game covers ever.

Make a sequel while you're at it!

Tried it a few years ago but I could not get into Starfox Adventures at all.

Did finally play through Assault today though, it wasn't all that good.

While it would be fun to start collection retro consoles and games the amount of work it takes to keep them up and running is way too effort. Plus I just refuse to deal with the 50HZ games that europe was plagued with for so long, it still annoys me so much that Nintendo stopped doing Virtual Console when they finally also removed the accursed region lock and allowed for multiple accounts.

The game is otherwise okay, but the new soundtrack is awful and the main reason why I find the original version a vastly superior experience.

MGS1 was made at that time when every Konami game seemed to have a godtier soundtrack.

The soundtrack in this version is absolute garbage, which ruins the entire game for me.

Awesome game, one of the few reasons you still might want to boot up the old cube.
