Sintax looked at all that and thought: what if it was a beat-'em-up? The result is Matel Gear II (合金裝備II), a 2003 unlicensed GBC game that borrows Snake, Gray Fox, Meryl, and Master Miller — here renamed \"Black Valcano\" — and drops them into an entirely different genre from the one they're known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat emerges is a surprisingly substantial game for a bootleg. There are four fully distinct playable characters, each with their own combat stats, movement feel, and button combo animations. There's an RPG levelling system — slow, but present. There are save files, an overworld map, a Colonel who briefs you on objectives, and Mei Ling prompting you to save your game. The bones of the Metal Gear experience are all here, reassembled into something thoroughly Sintax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Game Overview:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 playable characters: S.Solid (Snake), F.Fox (Gray Fox), Meryl Silverburgh, and Black Valcano (Miller)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach character has unique stats — speed, strength, agility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeat-'em-up combat with 3-button input combos (B,B,B \/ Down+Down+B \/ Down+Up+B \/ Down+Right+B)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRPG experience and levelling system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverworld map navigation with save files (2 slots)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 4 hours to complete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased in both Chinese and English versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA collector's essential for fans of the unlicensed GBC scene and Metal Gear enthusiasts curious to see what Snake looks like when stealth is entirely abandoned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e🎮 Compatible with: Game Boy Color · Game Boy Advance · GBA SP\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e✅ Available in 8 shell colors: Gray, Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, Clear Blue, Green, Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlicensed game by Sintax, 2003.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Onlygameboy","offers":[{"title":"GREY","offer_id":53864735670601,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK","offer_id":53864735703369,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"RED","offer_id":53864735736137,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLUE","offer_id":53864735768905,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GREEN","offer_id":53864735801673,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"YELLOW","offer_id":53864735834441,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CLEAR BLUE","offer_id":53864735867209,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GOLD","offer_id":53864735899977,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7181\/8057\/files\/IMG_20230913_074714.jpg?v=1771225361","url":"https:\/\/onlygameboy.myshopify.com\/products\/matel-gear-ii","provider":"Onlygameboy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
