Warning: This cartridge will only work on MSXVR machines, it WILL NOT work on regular MSX machines. The game is the same as the standard MSX version but the msxVR version uses an exclusive msxVR cartridge.
We also sell the regular MSX version in our online shop, but PLEASE make sure you read the hardware pre-requisites for this game before you buy the regular MSX version.
The standard MSX version cartridge will not work on msxVR, so if you already preordered the standard MSX version but you want to play it on the msxVR instead of the standard MSX or you only have an msxVR, please contact us as soon as possible so we can send you the right version when the shippings begin.
Video of the game:
Metal Dragon is a parodic "Run & Gun" game based on war games from the 1980s.
We have tried to recreate the 80s arcade experience as much as possible.
The parodic elements are not intended to insult or belittle the original works.
THE PRE-PURCHASE:
This game uses a special cartridge with much more capacity than the usual 2048Kb that we usually use.
That means that the price that the cartridge costs us is higher than usual.
The game box is fitted with a high-quality, custom-made, factory-made foam holder, providing an ideal, high-quality cartridge holder.
These are additional costs that are reflected in the price of the game.
Therefore, the price of the game in the pre-purchase period is 48 euros + shipping (going to 55 euros after the pre-purchase if there is any unit available).
Since making these cartridges and this foam box holder cannot be done in small runs, it is highly unlikely that we will make a second run.
(I repeat that for us the goal of making this game is not to sell many units, we do it for fun.)
All those who participate in the pre-purchase will be included in the special thanks section of the manual (in order of payment) unless they tell us otherwise (if you do not want to appear on the list of special thanks, please contact us).
The pre-purchase will last 2 weeks.
Once the pre-purchase is finished, we will order the necessary materials and have the manuals printed and assembled with your names.
We expect shipments to begin by the end of June or early July, but with the times that run can arise unexpected, so please be understanding.
Shipments will also be made in payment order.
Those interested can make the pre-purchase in our online store.
All the most common payment methods are accepted (card, paypal).
We also added 10 more units of the standard MSX version for those who missed the first pre-order:
Again, please make sure you read the hardware requierements for the standard MSX version before you purchase it.
To take advantage of the shipping costs, you can take a look at our other MSX games and we can send them to you in the same package (our previous games are compatible with msxVR and since the last msxVR update, they work at the correct speed).
