The original Metal Gear, designed by Hideo Kojima, released in 1987, and is one of the first full-fledged stealth action games. It changed the landscape of the industry by inspiring countless game developers and new franchises, including Splinter Cell and Thief, and developing into a juggernaut series in its own right. How much of that DNA is present in this very first entry, and what were the growing pains it went through?
"A Metal Gear Retrospective" is a series in which I play through each Metal Gear game chronologically, and analyze its place in the series.
