Metal Gear Cheats For MSX

  1. Easily Defeating the Hind Helicopter

    When u get to the top of the roof you will eventually run into a helicopter that originally would be a hard battle, but if u position yourself by the crates at the top left corner it cant hit you. Then all u have to do is shoot it with the grande launcher until it blows up.

Metal Gear Cheats For NES

  1. Warp to final boss without battling the super computer

    When entering the Super Computer's room, stay in the door frame and push right on the control pad. You'll automatically warp to the final boss and won't have to worry about the base's self-destruc countdown that the computer's destruction usually starts. Now you have all the time you need to beat the last boss.

  2. Reset the Timer

    When you escape the Final Level have your character smoke a cigarette and the time will be reset!

  3. Easy Bull-Tank

    When fighting the Bull-Tank you can reset its position by accessing your Sub-menu. This comes in handy if it gets too close, due to it having a 1-touch kill on you. To defeat it, use your Grenade Launcher.

  4. Skip the Tank Fight

    Option 1: (Hard)

    Keep walking straight up, and open your inventory, then back to game while moving up, repeating these steps quickly to slowly walk through the Tank.

    Basically you are going inside your inventory, unpause to go back to the game, then quickly hold UP to move up some, then quickly go back into your weapons or inventory, and repeat all steps until you slowly inch your way up to the next screen.

    Option 2: (Easy)

    Get close to the tank and as soon as the tank shoots you, you become invincible for almost 2 seconds. As soon as you get shot quickly run straight up to the top of the screen, allowing you to walk through the Tank to the next screen.

  5. Bypass expanding holes in the floor

    In the areas where the black holes quickly open up to swallow you just simply pause the game and unpause. When you return to game play the holes will be frozen in the state of expansion they were in when you paused. They will be invisible but smaller. Simply side step around where you saw them last and you will be in the clear.
