Metal Gear Solid (also called Metal Gear Solid Ghost Babel in other territories) is the best game on Nintendo's Gameboy Color (GBC).

It has an awesome campaign, mixes the 2D MSX games with the 3D gameplay elements of later titles, and is just an awesome demake of Metal Gear Solid (PSOne). Players were also treated to tons of extra content including a Sound Test, Bonus stages, and dozens of VR Missions.

However, there is one feature in this stellar game that went underappreciated and never played - the 2-player VS Battle Link Cable feature! Little known fact - Metal Gear Solid Ghost Babel was the first Metal Gear title to offer multiplayer support - this was before Metal Gear Online (MGO) and even Metal Gear Ac!d 1 and 2 on PSP.

This video explores this forgotten multiplayer mode and why it is worth a look. Hint* each player has their own screen otherwise this hide-and-seek game just wouldn't work right.

If you liked this coverage of Metal Gear's 2p link mode, you might want to check out my GBA Single-Pak Link Multiplayer series. Here, I explore this underappreciated multiplayer feature by allowing multiplayer player games by only needing one Game Pak (aka, only need 1 cartridge, one copy of the game, to play):
