Metal Gear Comes to the MegaDrive – A Classic Stealth Game Gets a New Home

Originally released in 1987 for the MSX2, Metal Gear was one of the first games to introduce stealth mechanics, setting the stage for an entire franchise. Designed by Hideo Kojima, it became a defining title of its era. While ports existed for systems like the NES and Commodore 64, they often missed key features from the original.

For years, an Amiga version was rumored but never surfaced—until 2021, when programmer Hoffman finally made it a reality. Now, in 2025, he’s brought the game to the Sega MegaDrive/Genesis, adapting his Amiga port for retro fans. If you’re into classic stealth action, you can find more retro games like this fast and easy on kbhgames.com.

This version keeps the tense, tactical gameplay that made Metal Gear stand out, letting players sneak past enemies rather than fight head-on. Whether you’re revisiting it or trying it for the first time, it’s a solid addition to any retro collection.
