Now, why is it super unlikely that you’ve played this game? Because it was only ever released in arcades. And it wasn’t exactly a huge runaway success. But in terms of actual gameplay mechanics, this game had some monumental firsts.

    Just because some unnoticed game implemented some fairly easy to conceive game mechanic doesn’t make that game influential. It just makes it first. To be influential you have to show that later game developers had played it and been inspired to build on it.

    And I can confidently state that without 005, there would be no Metal Gear.

    Ah c’mon
