When I read the title, my first thought was to the scene in Uncharted 2 where Drake is running away from the jeep that loses control and flips all over the place behind him in Tibet.
Dude, this scene is amazing because you get the FPS ability. Throughout the entire game, I kept saying how much better the gun play would be with ability to shoot in first person when desired, because it's an amazing 3rd person action adventure game. Then this scene comes out of nowhere and answers my prayers.
Thank gawd the Gamecube version was made too. I only wish they would have kept the original voices from the PS1 version in the GC version. Then all would have been perfect in the world. I'll officially say this here though, the GC ver. is 20x better than the ps1 ver. If you disagree, go watch the first battle between Gray Fox and Solid Snake. I'll wait here for you.
That's what I thought. What? Not Enough? Look up Sniper Wolf.
Done? Still not enough for you? Um, did I mention FPS controls at will? Yeah, hat-trick!

This is the only Metal Gear game I ever beat. It had great balance, and a great story to move me along. Great write-up, Chad!
Watching the video reminded me the other reason it felt so damn epic is the countdown to when the whole area will be bombarded by friggin NUKES!
I REALLY love these memory cards
But Im noticing a pattern
You are constantly using the same group of games; I dunno... I mean Id like to see something completely different

Hey, I never noticed this until now... Liquid Snake has a 'soul reaver' tattoo. I approve!
Also, these articles are great Chad. I really hope you do one for the game/s I've been hoping to see you do. I won't say it by name, so as not to jinx it. ;)

Classic is classic, and that is classic.
Still angry that Konami is leaving MGS1 off the HD remake set. They could at least HD-ify the Gamecube's Twin Snakes version if they're just worried about it looking too dated.

@Adam Duffles Duffield,
Yeah, I was worried that after 90 entries (!), a pattern would start to emerge and similar games would pop up time and again.
The next few planned are all brand new games, so hopefully that will help offset the similarity a bit. :)

Good article, Chad. I haven't played MGS1 in a long time. Your piece makes me want to replay it. By the way, are you going to write some articles and features that aren't Memory Card related? I like reading your other stuff, too :).
Ahh, good times. Though I preferred the Otacon ending, something about his whole “Oh geez!” demeanour made things feel more on edge to me.
Come to think of it, it’s a bit weird that MGS is the only one with multiple endings.

@Vxxyman,
Oh, absolutely! This season of the Memory Card wraps up soon (with entry #100!), and then I will be focusing much more on other features. In fact, I may throw some other stuff up in the next couple of weeks ...
Thanks for the nice words. :)

Man, this game is like memory card after memory card waiting to be written.
Easily one of my top three favorite games of all time.

I remember it like it was yesterday, my mind was freaking out just before Liquid died! Remember trying to shoot Gray Fox with the rocket launcher?
One of the first and only games I played through on PS1. Since I never owned one, I would go to a friends house every night for a couple of weeks to chip away at this. I would fight bosses and he would play levels (somehow my being a child of 16 bit made me more suited to boss fights and too impatient for stealth). Which meant of course that I got to play the jeep chase!
Was I the only one who hilariously thought this might be a writeup about the Konami run-n-gun classic Jackal?
...hello?
...hello?
PS. I'm not a huge fan of fps, I just REALLY like that ability in 3rd person games. A game that is fps all the time or 3rd person all the time are great but I like my games to have lots of options. So please don't take me for the kind of gamer that only likes my "FPS! HOORAH" stuff. I really don't.
@TheGameFreak & catsithx
I hope Konami does a new version of that game, it's rumored they are making a "re-birth" ver.

Man, all I had to do was read "the jeep chase" and I knew exactly what you were talking about. Or at least I thought I did. If this article wasn't about Metal Gear Solid I would have been complaining here instead. Great write up, great scene.
Previous comments notwithstanding, I do have to say I would like to see more on the original Metal Gear Solid. It blew my mind as a kid, how many video games at the time were discussing topics like "Materials Unaccounted For."
I am somewhat surprised that the encounter and first fight with Cyborg Ninja/Grey Fox/Frank Yeager don't bring back powerful memories, nor does that first intense sniper duel with Sniper Wolf.

So I heard, but if memory serves, that's been the case for 2-3 years at least. It'd be nice, definitely.
I remember playing the arcade version via The Game Room on XBL, and nearly shitting myself due to the heightened difficulty level compared to the NES version.

Like FFVI and Chrono Trigger, MGS1 is one giant memory card feature. I love this game. To me it's the best MGS entry ever (did not like the 2nd so much, the 3rd is awesome as well and haven't played the 4th =\ ). It has a powerful narrative, and the gameplay is so varied that the "sneak" sequences never feel dull. The interaction between game and player (and the 4th wall breaker) is so awesome and, at the time I guess, so creative and unique that you feel like you are actively engaging in the game not as Snake, but a part as yourself; the game constantly remind you that you are there, being part of the gameplay as well, even if by tiny bits of information.
God I love this game!
