Hideo Kojima, the man that's most known for bringing the Metal Gear Solid series to life, has come up with an extremely ambitious idea for the Game Boy Advance: harness the energy of sunlight for a videogame.

♥ ♥ ♥ I still remember, I went out with my mother, by pure chance, I found this game, In a small video game shop, I was immediately attracted by the image... But when I played it at first, I didn't like it at all, in fact it scared me, with all those zombies, dracula. ♥ ♥ ♥ But slowly, I started to love it, but really really love it. I completed it more than 20 times, to the point of completing it in just 24 hours. ♥ ♥ ♥

Has anyone played this on Emulator? I've just started it and I know without sunlight on the Gameboy it's a little more difficult but from what I've read it's possible? Will I be able to complete the story without actual sunlight?
