This is the original Metal Gear NES speed run ivd done myself. its also posted on Taipions page. he hosted it for me until i got my directors page going. if u want reviews click on his page. im posting this vid anyways

[@TheGlamourboy]

Uh - oh. The truck have started to move.

[@DJClicheDarkness]

The truck have started to move!

[@chrisoliver5302]

+DJClicheDarkness I feel asleep!

[@Spacebuz]

+Chris Oliver "Contact missing our Grey Fox!"

[@ashleyhoward14]

+DJClicheDarkness How did this get released with such bad grammar?

[@DJClicheDarkness]

+Ashley Howard Gaming was still in it's infancy so there was not a large amount of money to be thrown around with game making. Also memory may have played a part in it as well seeing as with the Japanese language you can fit a lot more into a line than you can with English. This happened a lot back in the day. One of the most infamous examples is Zero Wing and it's "All your base are belong to us" thing that caught on. Other lines from that game "You have no chance to survive make your time." "Move every Zig. You know what you doing. Move Zig, for great justice." Ahh. Good times. :)

[@chrisoliver5302]

Yup, it made for some good laughs and entertainment, that's for sure! Look what a cult following "All your base are belong to us" has.

[@docteraie]

That was one of my favorite games. I used to try to find passwords by entering letters and numbers randomly. Sometimes it worked and to this day I still remember one: enter 31Z AAA AAA AAA AAA, etc... I don't remember what you get but you get something

[@brettguyer3736]

Wow memories...loved this game as a kid, wasn't easy though...some things weren't real clear especially if you were rolling without any instruction booklet.

[@nubiedriver]

Hey man you forgot to get the cardboard box!! That's my fav prop of the game

[@Smiles122]

You know big boss is still BA when he can take rockets to the face.

[@qwerty6782]

I remember beating this game when I was thirteen or so. It took forever. Everything was trial and error. Nintendo Power magazine was the only help I had back then and it wasn't much at that. No internet in those days. I was proud of myself back then. I did it the hard way. It ticked me off the that the Metal Gear tank itself on the cover sticker of the game didn't even make an appearance though. I thought about beating the game again but I would never recall all the little things it took so thanks for the trip down memory lane. You made it look easy.

[@VVeltanschauung187]

qwerty678 sad that you played the wrong port. If i recall, the msx version had the bosses including a tank and heli fight

[@SuperSaiyanAl]

Next time I'm in a group and my eyelids feel heavy, I'm going to shout "I'M GETTING SLEEPY!" at the top of my lungs.

[@RaulGonzalez-vk6bj]

I have never known to play like this for years. I fought with a tank every time I played.

[@zeromk5]

I find it kind of funny how on 44:27 when they're announcing the emergency alert, they call their own base the "enemy" fortress. Oh yeah, and "fotress" isn't even spelled right lol.

[@bjarnetollevsen2163]

Watching this after having played MGS5 is almost heartbreaking. It''s Venom and Diamond Dogs soldiers that Solid Snake is butchering...

[@samuraidragon16]

+Bjarne Tollevsen This game isn't canon, the MSX version is but to say about Venom and his forces, they became too corrupted with power and caused lot of bloodshed as seen in the ending when he saw his demon in the mirror. That is a sign that Big Boss has became a madman after completing Outer Heaven.

[@Ephraim225]

Both versions have the same basic plot so it fits at least, there's just a lack of any walking tanks ahaha

[@thebaconboy4007]

"lol this is your computer speaking" AHHHHH ITS ALIVE!!!!

[@WatermelonSoda]

OH NO ITS BIG MEDIC

[@michikodesu]

Brings back such memories.......I was never good enough to beat it, even with the nintendo power. I could power through Castlevania and Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest, but I so sucked at this one.

[@FlightsOfOdyssey]

Great video! I love this game, this is how the MSG was born. I was playing this game yesterday, and I will be playing it again today. It just takes time again to remeber where everything is.

[@AdamTheMc]

this just proves that everything is on the Internet. Thanks for posting this! looking at it takes me way back in time. I used to love this game, unfortunately got stock at one part but now i see what i was doing wrong..

[@LogoUtpLeaSe]

its better than phantom pain

[@bobbemis8911]

LogoUtpLeaSe I disagree

[@DARKKIRBYSUCKSAUTTPAVGCPAVGNCH]

So you drop from a parachute and who the hell are these other 3 guys? I don't even know if you ever see them again. Then you get a briefing from your boss. It says "First, attempt to contact missing our "Grey Fox"." Great, there's a typo on the first message. [Technically not; it's spelled "grey" in most other parts of the world.] So then you walk over and you could just go up and fight this guy or wait for him to fall asleep. Or feel asleep. I guess if he feels asleep that's good enough. But even then when you go near him he just wakes up so what's the difference? Then there's all these dogs. Your first instinct is to sneak by, but look at this. I can't fucking go through- W-What's blocking me? If you really weren't intended to fit through, couldn't they have put these jeeps closer to the grass? You can only move along a grid so basically you can't go near anything. Bad game design at its finest. So I punch out all these dogs and then I just go to the next screen, just keep walking down walking down- Oh, fuck. What was the point of that? You know what the point was? To waste my fucking time. Now the dogs are back? Of course, it's the classic respawning enemy bullshit. So I gotta punch the fucking dogs again, and you know who goes around punching dogs? Alright, come on, you mother bitch, come on! Unnngh, damnit! Alright now I'm gonna get in this truck here. Wow this truck's the size of a fucking house. And it doesn't make any sense, you stay the same size so how does the truck get bigger? Oh well, whatever, what's this? Binoculars? Alright gonna go back out here. (an enemy respawns and shoots him once he gets out of the truck!) The fuck?! That was ridiculous! The enemies respawn if you go in the truck! It's not like I left the screen, it was just a sub-area. And once you're out of the truck you're immediately open to enemy fire. That is so fucking cheap! You wanna play dirty? OK, you fucking goddamn piece of shit. The one thing that's cool I still have my binoculars so I don't gotta go in that truck again. Just gonna punch this motherfucker, die! Asshole. Go to the select screen here, choose the Binoculars. OK, so let's try them out. Alright I'm using the D-Pad, looks like I'm scanning the environment. Just a little handy way to see what lies ahead I suppose. Now I'm going back to the select screen to turn it off. OK... (The enemy respawns once he turns off the binoculars!) WHAT?! You son of a bitch! The enemies respawn if you use the binoculars! You can't do anything! Was this a glitch, or were the game designers deliberately trying to be FUCKING ASSHOLES?! Seriously! And this whole jungle scene wasn't even in the original version. Like "Hmmm, let's see, what kind of stupid shit can we add? Let's take a great game and just dump an assload of diarrhea on it!" Now, where the fuck am I? It's the same screen being repeated. Is it like in Zelda where you have to go northwest-southwest? But no you just go down. Whenever you go left or right, it just takes you back to the same spot. Then let me ask a perfectly legit question. What were they thinking?! Why not just have one path? Thanks for tricking me into thinking I'm going somewhere when I'm really not. Alright, you bastard. Com- Fuck! Oh my God. I gotta go back to the beginning every time? Are there any checkpoints? Am I ever going to get to continue? And where's my fucking gun? Is that all I get, just my fists? Oh, I have a pack of cigarettes too. Wow, hey kids, smoke up. The menu sucks. Check it out - this is how it works. Select brings up the main menu, now Select does nothing. B goes back to the game, and A chooses a sub-menu. Now Select goes back to the game and B now does nothing and A chooses the items. It's so inconsistent. Until you get used to it, it takes too fucking long to navigate! I'm not trying to find flaws with this game, this is honestly how I felt the first time playing this 20 years ago. I hated it. I wanted to know two things. When do I get a gun, when do I get to continue? I kept dying over and over again and seeing that first screen so many times left a permanent mental image in my brain for the rest of my life. But once you learn how to get by you go into the first building and soon enough you get the gun. Once that happens the game gets a lot easier, but still every time you die you go back to the fucking beginning. But like I said you get to keep your weapons so once you have the gun you're all set. And some of the trucks drive you around, kind of like a Warp Zone. But you have no control over it. You step into a random truck and off you go. "Uh-oh! The truck have started to move!" Man, these translations suck. Couldn't they get anyone to proofread this shitload of fuck? Anyway each time I play I seem to get one step further. But there's always going to be something unexpected. Like that right there. How was I supposed to know there'd be a trap door? It's all about trial and error. Just because of that, I have to start all over again. I've heard that if you use the transceiver, it makes the trap door go away. Which it does, but you still die. What the fuck? Anyway you go around collecting items, key cards and rescuing hostages. But if you want a chance to read any of the dialogue boxes you better be careful not to touch the D-Pad. Yeah you know how in most games you can cancel out the text by pressing A or B, or sometimes Start? But never the fucking D-Pad! Naturally when you're getting an item you're using the D-Pad cause you're walking toward it. So you have to remember to let go right away. That is some mixed up buffalo bullshit right there! And sometimes the dialogue box can actually get blocked. They can't keep the objects in the game from getting in front of the text? Or maybe it's to hide their inability to proofread. "I have located some plastic explosive." This game's a mess! How did they fuck it up so bad?! There's so many spots where you just walk into a room and drop dead. Like here, I have to switch on my gas mask. Of course, if I don't realize that, I only have 1 second to react before my health's drained all the way. And then the fucking boss calls to say "I forgot to - I mean I forget to tell you something! You will need your gas mask." Oh. No shit. You're a little fucking late there, asshole. You think you could tell me before I step into the room? Not after? I mean if I survived long enough to get his message I would have already figured that out. But you wanna know what else sucks about this room? To get in you need to have your key card selected. Then right away you need to select your gas mask. So unavoidably, you lose some health. And then once again to get out of the room you have to select your key card. So twice you take damage. And as far as I know, there's no way to avoid it. Probably my favorite fucked-up part is right here. See this truck, it's too close to the edge of the screen. So if you want to go in there, you have to leave the screen twice. You go right, go up and go left. What game would ever make you do that? And it's so annoying when people gang up on you. Oh my God! Get off me! Get off- I can't get them off! Ugggh! Mmm! Fuck! But anyway, it's a pretty epic game, so most likely you won't beat it in one sitting. That's why there's a password system. But like you'd expect, it's horrendous. Is there any reason why these passwords have to be so fucking long? Even this would be overdoing it. Why do we need this little extra part? Like for the love of fuck! Well guess what, if you use the password it starts you at the building where you left off. Why couldn't that happen just by continuing? The whole purpose of having a password is if you turn the game off and want to come back to it later. Not just to continue! Imagine every time you die typing in this password. It's either that or start at the beginning, so pick your fucking poison, motherfucker! This game is the fucking crust between your balls. It's terrible, and yeah, I know it's a classic but when something's fucked up, it's fucked up. So if you want to rip me a new asshole, that's fine, I have like 12. Yeah, I've got Charlie Brown Ghost Ass. And it's not just me, Hideo Kojima himself said it slurped anal grease from a warthog's dickhole. Well, he didn't say it like that, he said it wasn't faithful to his original game. The stealth element wasn't there, and Metal Gear wasn't even in the game. Yeah, that's right. The final boss is supposed to be a robot named Metal Gear. So if you're going to call the game Metal Gear and not have Metal Gear, that's like having Legend of Zelda with no Zelda. If the original Metal Gear was Kojima's baby, then the NES version is his deformed grandchild. Now, I know it's still a classic if you look past all its flaws. It's like digging for gold under a pile of horseshit. Or perhaps it's a gleaming silver turd. It might not look like shit... but it sure smells like it.

How though. he did nothing wrong

[@tensedone595]

this isn't English class, gtfoh with that 2 page paper. Get laid nerd

[@danielmelvin4525]

DARKKIRBY8976 SUCKS!! AUTTP AVGCP AVGNCHWE we could have just watched angry video game need review instead of reading this. word for word. this games cool.

[@Editorpredator69]

Get a life

[@nicholaskazantzidis]

Great job. Seriously. I remember trying over 100 times to get halfway through this game as a kid.

[@RainMan34]

Amazing to see where all the MetalGear madness actually started. Equally amazing to see how far the series has come, with Kojima still staying close to his roots. Fantastic!

[@MrCrazyface29]

People who think this is the original MG1 and don't know that this is a shitty port of the original MG! on the MSX2... (Faceplam)

[@MrCrazyface29]

***** I'm talking in the realm of today, perfectly understandable you wouldn't know back then, just saying that its pretty bad if to this day that some people don't know this.

[@DJ_Kalyan]

MrCrazyface29 I'm sorry, but you are just way to try hard. 0/10

[@DickSocrates]

MrCrazyface29 Game plays well. There is nothing shitty other than the fact that the story to the game and the maps were changed. You just sound like a stupid Sony fanboy who probably thinks Kojima didn't approve Twin Snakes cutscenes.

[@chrisoliver5302]

+Hastur Shoggoth LMAO! Upvote!

[@nl.1708]

+MrCrazyface29 "Hey hey look at me I know a fact that no one cares about!"

[@hitcharade]

Heart-taking! Outstanding speedup. Keep on going, pal!!!

[@EnemyAce88]

I never beat this game, and it's one of the things I have to do before I die. Just as soon as I comes out on Wii. Thanks for posting and you rock!

[@Angemell]

You are really a Metal Gear expert. Congrats for the excellent work! The entire run was played great.

[@Hylianpuffball]

It's good to see an honest NES speedrun. Good work!

[@sloppynegan3663]

So I've been on a Metal Gear mood since Phantom Pain. Now I have to see all their games 😭. Anyway great job speedrunning this!!

[@Brian_Gawlak]

After 22 years & watching your gameplay I finally beat this game!!! Still not wasy without the map that came with the game...

[@Brian_Gawlak]

After 22 years I finally beat the game after watching your gameplay!!! HA HA!!! Took me a few trips from the game to this page for help!!

[@shaft226]

Great post man, I remember this game when I was a kid. I couldnt even get out of the first stage with those damn dogs.

[@enrosale]

This brings back good memories ! Thanks for the video !

[@joshcassida]

Excellent speed run!! Great quality video and audio too!!

[@SindarinElealar]

Your solution to the diving area, laser floors and especially the quick route back were pretty surprising, but creature. Congrats! I never could bring myself to finish the game; then again, back when I played it, I didn't really speak English which kind of made things more difficult

[@Royskahdus]

nice to see finally when someone plays this game through. I used to play this when i was a kid, but never really realised where to go !?! :(

[@shaunwoagles]

well done!!! thanks for the walkthrough. i used to play this game when i was a kid and now that i have it again i forgot how to get the rocket launcher! again, well done!

[@Arwingpilot]

Gotta love that "overworld" music! It's brilliant!

[@HitNRun6131]

I always had a hard time with this game back in the day, you must of mastered this game from what I see.

[@tribaltroll]

Man this series has come a long way...

[@DaaanceYouLoser]

I always loved the scaling in this game. When you enter the back of the flatbed truck you inexplicably become the size of a GI Joe.

[@fucdisdeath]

i have an NES Emulator for my CPU, and i enjoy this MEtal Gear Game :D but i always get stuck when tryin to get out of the forrest in the beggining, so im watching this speed run to help me with this part im havin trouble with :D thank you for posting this man its appreciated.

[@jtstevenson81]

Wow! This brings back memories. I remember playing this game like crazy back when it came out. I think I was about 6 years old then.

[@reallyretro]

awesome run! thanx for posting this because i always played the game kinda backwards lol

[@SuperHellaFresh]

your memory is so damn good, remembering what card goes where and which rooms not to go in.

[@nickjord15]

Thanks for this!! got into the series recently

[@RadxxRyan]

This game has come a long way... My favorite one will always be the first one for the PS1. So many memories.

[@amsterdamG2G]

i remember back in the days when i played this game. it blew my mind. this one and bionic commando were the best nes games i had

[@brandun69]

Nice job, just beat it myself. Got stuck on the gas rooms secret doors and ur walkthough helped out. 9hrs game time :) Good game, still catchin up on the series, played mgs4 and beat it in 18hrs, awsome series so far :P

[@freddiejimenez]

My brother & I beat this when it first came out. Thanks for reminding me how carefree my life used to be.

[@pulppeeler]

i played this way back....damn fun, wish i new the tricks you did, had to buy it myself recently.

[@ripclips]

lawls, at 8:20ish he just runs right in front of the guard without alerting anything. Awesome. Epic MGS play. Kudos to you.

[@blackadam06]

Exactly.. Man I love these old NES games. They take me back to my Jr. High days. This is when the emphasis of the games were on how fun they were to play, not on how advanced they look. That's why in terms of which games were more fun, these games blows today's games outta the water.

[@helperpat]

45 minutes of pretty much 100% solid gameplay. Compared with, what, hours of cutscenes from more modern tellings of the Metal Gear story. Crazy how things have changed.

[@wildbill92]

i just watched this whole vidoe, lol. i have to say, it was ok. i never seen the ending to this game and it was pretty good. i always got stuck in the middle of the game. thanks for sharing.

[@slemsvamp]

i love the metal gear music, the game kept me busy when i was young. those were the days.

[@JohnnyCProduction]

this is awesome. I just bought this game recently but I dont think I will ever be able to complete it. Its super challenging. This video is awesome. They need to bring a HD version of the MSX games.

[@Mr_x_19922]

the first, the unique, and the great, this is how it began a spectacular saga, this is how this action story began, which to this day remains alive.

[@Clutchy42]

Nice video, I love this game and was thinking about doing a speed run, but not anymore lol

[@bartimusmaximus337]

one of the few games i could never figure out. i'd get to the computer and shoot it with everything i had and shit.. thanks for this haha

[@nicoleraimundo6033]

'The truck have started to move' lmao! Anyway great video, I think I'll give this baby a shot now that I see how its done! ;)

[@AudioAndroid]

I remember sitting in school on Monday knowing I would be finally getting this game on Saturday slowly reading over my Nintendo Power over and over re reading the METAL GEAR info over and over every day then Saturday I get home and there I was just me and Solid Snake kicking ass for months......and you do this in 47:15 seconds...Snake would be proud.

[@atomicfurball]

wow thats nice to know. there was a few things i didnt know about. believe it or not took me 3 days to make this speed run went through the game 4 times and then went for it. studied the darn key card doors. that was the most frustrating lol

[@simply.hettie]

awsome i can remember these days like yesterday am i miss thinking these were so cutting edge now i just know its just gonna get better the soundtracks like an 8 bit dr dre tune

[@aznman13]

Very nice run and R.I.P Taipion :(

[@cheetah672]

I got this game off Amazon a few days ago. I've never played a Metal Gear game before, but it's pretty badass

[@franzarvireyes1693]

this is my favorite nes game in my childhood i have a lot good memories playing this game

[@grits011]

Wow, amazing cut scenes!

[@nazaxprime]

I always loved how the interior of the trucks were the size of warehouses... xD

[@Rabarberium]

"I AM THE SHOTGUNNER. NO ONE HAS EVER ESCAPED FROM HERE." And then within two seconds the player escapes. Classic.

[@KingOfClay]

Thank you for that, although I feel like an idiot for never beating the game myself. The only down side was never hearing the Metal Gear main theme all the way through. It also stinks that you never get to see the actual Metal Gear device. But it still is an awesome game!

[@Bluexhox]

Word Up Squirrel, And Peace To Atomic For Letting Us Relive Our Youth Through This Again. The Classics Never Die Right?

[@FeloniousPedigrees]

That'd be kick-ass! Nice idea!

[@Lance01011]

i love the game and the atmosphere

[@Silvsilvchan]

RAWK. God, this brings back memories.

[@henkiis]

was a great game, but so damn tough, i used to hate it :D nice video

[@carlitoxxe]

Patience means nothing compared to you. this video is just insane!!

[@MSF_Soldier_Alligator]

Excellent, Snake. Age hasn't slowed you down one bit.

[@boxheadhappypill]

great game. played it for countless hours as a kid.

[@123TauruZ321]

This is a cool game. Very well done to run throguh it like that.. I guess you must`ve had a guide or something to make it so clean. Still nice going :D

[@lazylazor]

if this video was tool asisted then 47 would be bad. but if u done it by yourself then its one of the best vids i ever seen :D well done. you are a super player!! (super mario world)

[@Donkey_Lips]

If you press right immediately entering the super computer room, you can skip it and it takes you to Big Boss’ room, without the timer going too .

[@jaymorpheus11]

I don't know who made this version of Metal Gear yet this version gets my vote for being the best metal gear.

[@theonamous]

Damn I can't Believe I watched this all the way through!!! This was my First Video Game Favorite when I was 12

[@lstuner8]

thats cool i need to find a nes again and play it i miss those games

[@oplivecrime206]

amazing run man. i never beat this game

[@BoomlandJenkins]

Awesome job. I think I'm halfway done with the game and over 2hrs in lol

[@tech951]

Hey Fred, its the big boss. I need to you go into the room with the giant rolling pin of death and collect some plastic explosives NOW! Also try not to die from the poison gas. LOL

[@osheen18]

wow, this is the original version. what a trip

[@kidcloneinteractive]

i never played through this nes version. i was a dumb kid back then and got flustered with "the truck have started to move" part and never got to the facility. i did play through the kojima originals on subsistence and they are gold!

[@csehszlovakze]

brings back old memories...

[@feraldrgn]

"The truck have started to move" lol, this would've been awesome if I played it back then.

[@kayaksta]

i cant tell you how happy this video post makes me. so many memories. thanks Atomic. i have a question for you: do you remember a game kind of like Commando, only with the ability to also enter tanks. this has plagued my mind for the past decade. I thought it was cammando...but it wasnt...lol

[@kazuhirala]

I used to love playing this game in computer class, I had it saved in my flashdrive

[@msoto08]

Wow, what a classic! I remember playing this game when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I never finished it though but did get to about 75% of the game. My brother spent a few months playing it before he finished it. I was really surpriced that you did it in 47 minutes! Good video, thanks for posting! P.S. I never knew what the cardboard box was used for. Anyone know?

[@mrpresedent12]

it was a disguise. enemies would look straight at you, and as long as you staid still, they wouldn't attack.

[@msoto08]

Oh, cool! Always wondered about that, thanks.

[@PracticeMan69]

lmao "I am the shotgunner! no one has ever escaped from here!" *walks right by him, opens a door*

[@Naphistim]

Just when I thought KZbin posts couldn't get worse, I come across this gem. I love the Internet.

[@fcalero89]

I seems to be that it took you several days to play that fast!! Great Job!!! :D

[@Evodio65]

This is one of the best games that Konamy made back then,lets not forget Snake's Revenge,I was like 10 years old when I played this game it was an addiction playing this game back then;it took me so many years to beat this game with no cheats.

[@Preying4War]

I've never played a single game in this series. When I was a kid, I used to see it available for rent all the time, but it looked so complicated I just figured "I can't play that shit". Still, I was always curious about what I was missing. I could see elements in Metal Gear that were similar to Contra, Gradius, (some of) Castlevania & even G.I. Joe. After watching (most of) this...which you made look awesomely easy & fun...I wanna get Metal Gear Solid 4.

[@SoldierOfFate]

8 bit goodness at its finest.

[@fucdisdeath]

nice man you still have it and the nes ill buy them both from you

[@luegisdorf]

Ever liked the sound and even the game concept: sneak around the enemy terretory and search for items you need to pass or to cross danger passages. I never know about the the Radio-Pitfall-Trick - that was new for me. But it was a real 'controller thrower', if you mean, what I mean ;)
