the game that started the legened

User Rating: 9.5 | Metal Gear NES
first off its snake in all his 8-bit glory and that should be enough information to make you want to play in the first place. this game also started the whole story so if you were wondering about some of the things they were talking about in the MGS series then this should answer some of your questions.

O.K. lets get to talking about this game it has awesome game play that is basically MGS style but on a 2-D platform. the only weird thing is that the enemies can only see in a straight line which makes the game a bit less challenging but never the less fun. there may not be as many weapons as in MGS which is understandable (i mean come on you can't have a sniper rifle in a 2-D game). i really liked this game because to get past certain parts you would need certain items like various keys or other things (kind of like MGS but you do it way more) also there are many memorable boss like Arnold (the android thing) or coward duck or even the metal gear which you had to memorize the bomb placement pattern to defeat. the sound effects are cool like the alert sound when you get found out (when i first played that scared the crap out of me). it also has unique stuff (to the series) like the ranking system or those damn dogs. there are some other cool things that you should find out by your self (seriously though i just forgot...I'm only human)
so if you haven't played the classic metal gear yet do it now... your still reading I said NOW. your being deprived of the seconds you could be playing this game...HURRY!!! o.k. I'll stop now (but you better go soon 'cause I'm watching you)
