Metal Gear Was Ahead of its Time... Kind of...
0The Metal Gear games are often considered some of the most important games of all time, and are even frequently considered to still be some of the greatest games ever made. And despite this, I’ve never played them. And recently when I asked you guys what games you would like to see me review on the channel, Metal Gear was one of the very top picks, so I figured with the Master Collection having just come out, and with Metal Gear Solid 3 getting a remake soon, now would be the perfect time to get around to them. Well actually, 10 years ago probably would’ve been the perfect time, but now works I guess. So, how did Metal Gear go about establishing what would become one of the most successful franchises in the gaming industry, and how does it hold up today? Well, let’s talk about it.

Metal Gear is an action-adventure stealth video game developed and published by Konami for the MSX2. It was released for the system in Japan and parts of Europe in 1987. Considered the game to popularize the stealth game genre, it was the first video game to be fully developed by Hideo Kojima, who would go on to direct most of the games in the Metal Gear series. A reworked port of the game was released for the Famicom a few months later, which later saw release in international markets for the NES over the following two years; this version was developed without Kojima's involvement and features drastically altered level designs, among other changes. An emulated Famicom version came with the special edition of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on GameCube. A more faithful port of the MSX2 version was later included in Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence for the PlayStation 2, as well as in the HD Edition of the same game released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PlayStation Vita, with these newer ports featuring a revised translation and additional gameplay features. The MSX version was also released for Wii Virtual Console and PC.
