Summary

The NES version of Metal Gear. It differs from the original MSX2 release in level layout and enemy differences, including an alternative final boss. The game revolves around Solid Snake, an operative of the special forces unit FOXHOUND, who goes on a solo infiltration mission into the fortified state of Outer Heaven to destroy "Metal Gear", a bipedal walking tank capable of launching nuclear missiles from anywhere in the world, as well as rescue a number of fellow agents who have been captured by the enemy. This version was later released inside the Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes - Special Disc, along with other extras.

fun introduction into the Metall gear games. It has a gripping charm to it wich bumps it up for me. The first and the second one are story wise very similar but have some different and interesting story beats.

Gameplay wise the second one is miles better and harder.

I like all characters (although most of them are very cliche).

The worst thing about this duo is the navigation. I do not understand how anybody could navigate this game blindly. There are way too many branching paths and doorways with different keycards. I couldn’t have have beaten these games in under 15 hours and lots of frustration without a guide.

god this was a really frustrating game, didn't expect something god level. It was very hard and vague, if you are playing MGS series and going with chronological order, don't play it, just watch it's walkthrough.

for the first game in the series, i was surprised just how many staples to the franchise were first defined here given the limitation that come from developing a 2d game. confusing and frustrating at times, but yet i was pleasantly surprised

Devo dire che kojima con le tecnologie disponibili all'epoca ha tirato fuori un gioco originale e complesso.
Con questo primo capitolo si iniziava già a intravedere quello che poi sarebbe stato il metal gear su ps1.

Buona storia, belle bossfight, ma ammetto di aver dovuto utilizzare una guida per completarlo, sicuramente un titolo da giocare se si è amanti del franchise, e si vogliono scoprire le origini di una delle saghe più storiche.
