Ah, the game that started it all. Well, it really didn't; -- that honor goes to NES titles Metal Gear and personal favorite, Snake's Revenge. But the PlayStation's Metal Gear Solid sold millions of copies and recieved heavy praise from the gaming community. Its popularity bumped the franchise up there with the other big ones, and it helped Solid Snake became a gaming icon.
Snake is back for an encore on the Japanese PlayStation Network, according to Hexus. Famitsu says that the the 1998 stealth action title Metal Gear Solid will hit the PS3's Network this Spring. It seems that Sony is warming us up for the June worldwide release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Although not confirmed, I'd be willing to bet that US and EU version announcements will make their way out soon.
What about you? Are you willing to give MGS another run? I think it would be pretty great to pop this onto the PSP and play it on the go as a refresher.

also, first?
Because I still have the original PS1 discs and Twin Snakes (which can be played on my Wii), I'll probably be skipping yet another release of this great title.
Also Metal Gear 1 and 2 were on MSX and not really released in English until pretty recently. The NES version was a hacked up mess of a translation of Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge was not Kojima Approved although nobody can blame you for liking it because its a clone of Metal Gear which was sweet.
Dale you gotta pick up MGS3 subsistence if you don't already have it and play Metal Gear 2 MSX version. It's awesome and you will not regret it.
like 4 or 5 i think. time to add another to the list.

And having some telekinetic bastard commenting on my progress on Klonoa...
Where do I sign in?
I'm not entirely sure how it works but the developers announced that the version of MGS in that pack would be a PORT that would be PS3 compatible so as to get rid of the mem-card problem.
Perhaps you're missing something in the instructions?
LMAO!
That was hillarious!!!
