Got this game on Christmas way back in 1989. Still remember that 1st morning. I thought the game was pretty hard that 1st day. Without the full map it came with it would have been REALLY hard. Watching this video I didn't realize you could skip that much of the game and still win. Great to re-live it again on youtube. This game was revolutionary with it's stealth approach rather than just charge in with guns blazing. Lots to do, good music, good graphics and great story. I remember being disappointed that the Metal Gear wasn't actually in the game which I thought was odd. Anyway, this is one of only two games that weren't stolen when my house was broken into, only because I had let a friend borrow it. Thank you!

It is sad that the dogs had better AI than Big Boss. Very anticlimactic. The most annoying thing is all the key cards and having to try each one for every door. Also, what sense does it make that you can't wear a gas mask and use a key card at the same time?

The first two minutes of the game of Snake being outside needs to be in the possible Metal Gear remake, but Snake finds a little river and swims under there and reaches the base and starts off in the MSX2 beginning.

[@mr.battle20]

Ever noticed how Snake makes an amphibious insertion into Shadow Moses in MGS1 as well? In fact, if you play the first two Metal Gear games you'll be shocked at just how much stuff is repeated in MGS. Most players don't know about it because the first two games weren't widely played (the original MSX2 versions, anyway).

[@solidmage1720]

@@mr.battle20 I played a little bit of the msx2 versions. I was just saying having players have the option to either do what they did the the NES version, having Solid Snake enter the fortress by jumping off plane with the other three soldiers who can be a art of the operation( traitors, maybe), and have you either drive through the base or hide in trucks (similar to Ground Zeroes), or find a river and swim underneath into the Outer Heaven Fortress. Or just skip it and just see the scene mimicking like what you said in MGS1 when Snake takes out his goggles.

@@chemergency Vermon CaTaffy

[@mr.battle20]

@@chemergency That was only in the instruction manual. Back then videogame companies were notorious for letting third parties write and print instruction manuals for their games, and usually only gave them a brief summary of what the game is about. Since most games at the time had very barebones storylines (if any at all), the third parties were given carte blanche to make up whatever BS they want. "Vermon CaTaffy" is an obvious reference to Muammar Gaddafi, the former despot of Libya - who was a major political figure in the 80's. Apparently Konami forgot to tell them that the game already had an in-depth storyline and "just winging it" wouldn't suffice. The blame rests on Konami's shoulders on this one.

[@DickJohnson3434]

KZbin is amazing. I would shit a brick if I came across a Metal Gear playthrough on TV but I wasn't at all surprised when I looked up Metal Gear NES on youtube and INSTANTLY saw the full game being played (along with dozens of other videos about the NES version of Metal Gear).

JuicyPlayer no its not you do not fight metal gear or even see metal gear plus they make up characters like this colonel Kataffy or whatever his name is putting characters in that do not exists in the original msx and not even including metal gear as a boss fight means its not the same game plus it was broken as hell msx version the one kojima actually made is not and if the ending is different then how can it lead to the events of phantom pain answer it does not its non cannon the only thing you can thank the nes for is it made the real metal gear games popular so you get games like phantom pain.

[@JuicyPlayer]

+samuraiwarrior87 That made up story with the made up characters is only in the instruction manual. The basic story of Metal Gear on NES is the same as the MSX version in game. I know that the NES version is broken and has a lot of different layouts.

[@Mateoski97]

Although this version is overall inferior to the original MSX version, this does have a better alert theme for when you're spotted than the original.

[@cecilrichardson2494]

And all you have to start with is a pack of cigarettes. I guess that explains why Solid Snake smokes as much as he does. He does seem to switch brands, though. In this version, it looks like what he has is a pack of Lucky Strikes; in MGS2: Sons of Liberty (PS2), then he gives Raiden what looks like a pack of Winstons.

[@tpy39]

In Japan, it's known as "kusoge" (a game with a bad reputation). In the MSX version, game director Hideo Kojima is involved and is known as a masterpiece, but in this Famicom version, Mr. Kojima is not involved at all, and it is considered a "fucking game".

[@dorpth]

So was this the very first instance of the "your boss was the villain the entire time!" twist in a game ever?

[@rafaellima83]

It's amazing how this actually has a lot of the original MSX game yet everything they changed makes the game worse. The number of cheap alarms here is just way too high even just at the beginning of the game (the original leaves this for later). The colors here look a lot worse, and the fact everytime you die you GO BACK TO THE FIRST SCREEN OF THE GAME is completely bonkers. Was it too hard to add one single letter to the password so it could also save the last elevator/floor you visited? I finished the original game yesterday (I believe it was the 4th time I did it), it's still a fantastic game.

[@rafaellima83]

Also the translantion here is hideous too. "Check the Way". It seems to be even worse than the MSX one, though there are less stuff missing.

[@therush757]

And I like how the iron glove is useless in the NES port. You can just punch the walls without it.

[@rafaellima83]

Iron glove? There's no Iron Glove on the original.

[@therush757]

Yeah there was. In the MSX version there was an iron glove you used to find the secret walls you could attach plastic explosive to and blow open.

[@rafaellima83]

Mate, I finished the MSX version just a couple of weeks ago for the 4th time in my life. The first secret wall you find is after you become a prisoner. YOu have no items with you, and you must punch walls to find Gray Fox in the next room. You don't have any items and you can still punch through the walls. Just after the boss battle after rescuing Gray Fox, you are in the basement of building 1, there are lot of walls to punch there and you don't have any Iron Glove... because there's no such item on this game. Just did a quick research here, the Iron Glove is exclusive to the NES version. So they added a item to the game that pretty much doesn't work.

[@GSGExtreme44]

"UH - OH! THE TRUCK HAVE STARTED TO MOVE!"

[@gnussyflarkin]

Played it back in 1988. Flaws and all, this is still the original Metal Gear to me - for better or worse. And truth be told, I still think it's better than Metal Gear Solid 2.

[@rafaellima83]

The original Metal Gear is the MSX one. This is a travesty when compared to the original MSX one.

[@gnussyflarkin]

Perhaps so. However, in 1988, this WAS Metal Gear. Keep that in mind.

[@rafaellima83]

Erm... my MSX was bought in 1985. I had Metal Gear for MSX before 1988. This makes no sense to me :)

[@burningwreckage00]

I'm guessing you're from Europe. The MSX was never released the USA. The NES version was the only one available to Americans at the time until it was included in whichever version of MGS3.

[@solidsnakesfan2929]

gnussyflarkin well it's your opinion. In my opinion, Metal Gear is a series that got better and better with time. When you compare this game to MGS3 or MGS4, then the latter ones win. This game is good, no doubt, but the next installments in the series are even better (here the series mean Metal Gear Solid series and not some damn spin-offs). Many fans don't like MGS2 since it introduced a new protagonist named Raiden (a.k.a Jack the Ripper) after the first chapter of the game.

[@moreps6023]

Why doesn't this game start with the water entrance? Just wondering since when I played through it on the PS3, it started with a water infiltration

[@cyka.blyat98]

Because this is the NES version. The original version (MSX) is the one which starts on the water entrance. The reason Why they put the original one on the MGS hd collection, is because It's the version that Hideo Kojima worked on it (it wasnt his team who worked on the NES version), and because the MSX version is the best one and i think everyone agrees on that.

[@solidsnakesfan2929]

Thrash Thrash in addition to that, Metal Gear for MSX was the sole work that laid roots for the one of the most critically acclaimed video game series of all time; Metal Gear Solid series.

[@DarkDescent845]

If you mean the solid eye ( Which I think you do, since it's the left eye), it's a piece of equipment used like binoculars, an infrared camera, and it corrects Snake's vision due to his old age. He still has an eye under it If you're talking about Naked Snake in MGS3, that's the man who becomes Big Boss and is who Solid, Liquid and Solidus are cloned off of. He loses his eye during the events of that game. The MSX version of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake are canon to the MGS series.
