Metal Slader Glory is a video game that began its
development in '87 and was released in '91 for the Famicom
in Japan, the first Nintendo, this being the game with the
highest technical prowess on the console, with a cartridge
of 8 megabits, something unimaginable for a cartridge for
that console.
For context, the MegaDrive, the original name of the Sega
Genesis, has that name because its games had at least 1
megabit, something that was impressive enough to put in
the name of the console itself, and games like Phantasy
Star 2 said on its cover proudly "A 6 megabit game!". Far
from wanting to speak ill of the Sega console, I want to
emphasize how enormous 8 megabits are for a standard
Famicom cartridge, not in any extra add-on.

Metal Slader Glory tells a science fiction story in an
adventure game format, now more popular under the term
visual novel. And although I could tell you the story of
the game itself, in this note I would like to talk more
about everything else and for you to then decide if you
want to experience its story for yourself.

This game is a marvel to the eyes, what it manages to do
with the limitations of the console blows my mind,
everything is beautiful and animated, the characters are
lovely and I found the phasing spectacular. It has so much
attention to detail that one can notice in every second of
the gameplay how much love its creator had for his work.
Had? Has! To this day his creator, Yoshimiru, continues to
make art and content for what he considers this life work.

Metal Slader Glory for NES came out in '91, almost
bankrupting Hal Laboratory due to how expensive it was to
develop this titanic game for the time. The game came with
a prequel comic in the manual which had to be read before
playing the game. In '97 Yoshimiru tried to make a
serialized MSG manga, but it was canceled after the first
volume. A sequel for the Nintendo 64DD was planned and
cancelled. A re-release of MSG was made for the SNES in
2000 under the name "director's cut", with only graphical
improvements due to the console's new capabilities. A
Drama CD came out in '08 and currently, Yoshimiru
continues making art and the occasional spin-off comic in
his personal store. and his twitter.

To tell the truth, I was captivated by the love that
Yoshimiru has for his work, not letting it die even 30
years later, with more negative anecdotes than positive,
he does not let his passion for his work and love die.
Until now, I was only able to enjoy its original NES game,
but I will continue searching every corner of the internet
for its canceled manga, the drama CD, and these modern
comics that it only sells physically in Japan.
