Metroidvania Works #014: The Maze of Galious / Metal Gear
Added 2021-05-12 20:00:04 +0000 UTCYes! It's a [booming voice] METROIDVANIA WORKS episode. I haven't done one of these in a while, but I need to dip my toe into the waters every now and again to maintain my iron grip on the Metroidvania trademark. (Disclaimer: I do not actually have a trademark on Metroidvania.)
This episode also needed to happen fairly soon, because the NES Works episode on Metal Gear isn't too far away, and this offloads all the basics of the topic to allow me to focus more on the changes inflicted on that version and the business maneuvering behind its existence.
I don't know when I'll be putting together another Metroidvania Works, I'm afraid, but I'll aim for this fall. See you then!

Maze of Galious (MSX) was one of those games for me, that you've seen as a kid, they stay in the back of your head and the one day you manage to narrow it down to the right search terms and get to watch the gameplay footage that makes it all flood back in. Still haven't played it properly though.
