  • 3:40 . WHUT!?

  • I forgot how awesome the music would become if you lasted long enough without getting detected.

    My first computer was a genuine Toshiba MSX1, loaded up MG1 through data cassette lol (back in '87).

  • Why couldn't they bring this to the NES? Instead they gave us an awfully inferior game.

  • @PSspecialist because its the nes. not as powerful obviously.

  • How'd you get this game? I know of the crappy NES version and I hear the Japanese one is the original and not fucked up version (lol). How'd you get this one (being clearly the accurate version but translated)?

    And is THIS version going to be in the HD collection? If so...YAY!

  • @Kerbalf It's in the HD version. I was playing this and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake the other night by going onto MGS3.

  • Man, that slow text would have driven me crazy. Lol!

  • You got this emulated? God I wanna play this so much. Right now, the only thing I have accessable to me, is the NES port. And if Kojima-sensei says, "don't play the NES port," then I'm not gonna play it.

  • just imagine a remake for PS3 of this game...

  • @ImaruSama Oh my god, I know right?! Look at Konami's ReBirth series, featuring Castlevania: The Adventure, Contra and Gradius. You'd think they'd have made a Metal Gear ReBirth while they were at it.

    I'd love them to make an enhanced remake so I could actually play this game.

    Oh, better yet, do what they did with Metroid into Metroid Zero Mission. There's the enhanced remake of the main game, then you unlock the entire complete original MSX version in a mini-game section!

  • @Celdrach

    Just imagine how epic it would be if they remade this instead of spending their time making Rising :(

  • @tokyoking2 Awwww, hey, easy guy, I'm looking forward to Rising :( I'm not the kinda guy who spazzes over one side or the other, "new school versus old school," kinda thing, y'know? I love it all.

    I wanna play Rising as much as I'd like to see them remake this.

  • @ImaruSama Oh my god, I know right?! Remember Konami's ReBirth series, consisting of Castlevania The Adventure, Contra and Gradius? You'd think they'd have made a Metal Gear ReBirth while they were at it. I'd love to see an enhanced remake of Metal Gear, so I could actually play this game.

  • This game is so similar to all the other msg's i'm surprised

  • it is a fucking epic game!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just beat the first one for the first time (Metal Gear Solid, that is) in preparation for the collection... why have I waiting until now?? :( It was possibly the greatest game I have ever played... can't wait to play 2,3 and 4. :)

  • @PicturelessStories

    Well, in order to make sense of what some characters say in MGS 1, you need to play Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. Then play MGS 1 again, and see how much more dialogue makes sense. Then purchase and play MGS 2-4.

  • look! even bases have tile!

  • Comment removed

  • was the miller in this game supposed tay be the same miller in peace walker coz if it is he doesnt look like him even though he would be older but also even though that it was liquid in disguise as miller in metal gear solid how did snake not even notice the difference

  • such were the days where you don't have to deal with bastards like psycho mantis and revolver ocelot...or those beauties.

    good times, good times.

  • THE TANKS HAVE THE :3 FACE ON THEM!

  • I would kill to play this game, just for the story alone

  • @DsAngel1211 It'll be included in the MGS HD Collection

  • @wwemusicfanC really didn't know that, thanks

  • Where can I get this game please thank you please x

  • @TheBluewhale88

    i think it came out for the ps2 and iphone

    go to an apple store if u dont know how to burn ps2 games

  • @Druidbooh2006 Really this game would be in the hd collection?

  • Thumbs up if you came here after Kojima has announced about it in the collection :)

  • @Druidbooh2006 But the collection only has MGS2 MGS3 and Peace Walker!?

  • @Druidbooh2006

    I played it during PS2 age, really great, recommend you try it.

    But should warn, its very old :D

  • omg! had no idea that the music from VR training came from this !!!

  • does anyone know where i can download this ? if you do please send me a link

  • @TheOpicus You don't even follow AVGN's reviews ASSHOLE. He reviewed the shitty NES version but he said that this one was great. So you know what? Say whatever you want about the NES version (Even Hideo Kojima said that version was bad). But this is epic. Voice acting? Seriously? LOL.

  • Does anyone know how to use those MSX emulators?

    Because whenever I try using them it's a lot of bull about "Insert Disc A" or whatever and nothing happens anywhere.

  • @Laurelindo Hey man, use 'BlueMSX' emulator and play the game rom by inserting them into the emulator window, then clicking run. Should work if it's the right one. Check out my Metal Gear (MSX) walkthrough of the original english version... =)

  • Can anyone help me out how do I save on mg cuz I recently bought a retro duo tht plays nes and snes and I got metal gear but I have no idea how to save

  • i didnt know metal gear had Pokemon music

  • The inside of those trucks are fucking huge

  • I think snake was looking best in the first opus but enjoyed a lot the second.

  • The reason why video games have a sense...

  • where can i like get these or can i download them somewhere

  • @tbossowns you can play this and metal gear 2: solid snake in metal gear solid 3: subsistence disc 2, from ps2

  • 4:22 oops(click click click) no bullets :P

  • After Rising, they should Re-Make these games in HD, with voice acting and HD cutscenes.

  • Relieve. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • This is a boring game, but I feel like I have to watch because I want to know the whole story. The thing that ruins is that there is no voice acting and the music sucks. Send this to AVGN

  • @TheOpicus You were seriously expecting voice acting in an 8-bit game from 1987?

    You really have no right to demand that from such an early game, you know. =P

  • Comment removed

  • @TheOpicus

    Wow, no voice acting out of a 1983 soundchip?

    Such a disappointment, Konami!

    What's next, no realtime 3D rendering either?

  • @TheOpicus

    Buddy?

    do you even have a clue of how much memory voice acting takes?

    they only had what?

    129Kb to work with?

    if they had used voice acting, then they would have had at BEST, 1-2kb for the REST OF THE ENTIRE GAME.

    if all you're gonna do is complain about no voice acting, instead of complimenting the phenomenal game-play, you don't deserve to know the rest of the story.

  • @TheOpicus You know you can just read up on the story on the Metal Gear Wiki, or you could just sod off.

  • @TheOpicus AVGN has already reviewed the NES version of this game which was indeed, bad, but you have no right to call this one a boring game when you probably haven't even plated it. You don't even deserve to know the story...

  • @TheOpicus dude i can tell you werent alive back in the late 80s and early 90s. back then games didnt have voice acting, havent you ever played an 8 bit game????

  • @1234watsup4321

    To be honest, some 8-bit games did have voice samples, it just wasn't extensive.

  • @Draknfyre well still, if the games that dont have voice acting all suck then theres a ton of suckish games out there. i mean seriously, super mario bros 3 didnt suck and i dont see voice acting in it. in fact, voice acting is one of the things that completely ruined the sonic franchise

  • @1234watsup4321

    I wasn't saying that. I was just saying some 8-bit games did have voices. So it wasn't technologically impossible, but it did use a crapload of space. When your average NES game between 128KB-512KB voices had to be incredibly compressed, and sometimes it sounded like crap.

  • @TheOpicus TROLOLOLOLOL they see me trolling

  • And here I was playing the NES version for 5 years thinking that was the original version. <_< I did know about MSX, but not that they were this different.

    This version looks a lot better though, and the music is cooler.

  • 3:45 guard: ITS HIM!! oh he walked 2 cm down we lost him i guess hes gone....

  • @destroyer3242 Yeah that's a little funny, it would've been more challenging if you had to kill the guards who were in your immediate vicinity or something.

  • "Ah! Sleepy..."

    It's as if they try to be...SHATNER!

  • the nes version does have a better start

  • This game as well as Metal Gear 2 need to be remade...It would be epic...Even with the ridiculous boss names...

  • so this is big boss fighting outer heaven, int he the one who created it? on the fourth one liquids always like outer heaven big boss yh man they fucked up

  • @latexvalentine Main Char. for this game is Solid Snake that Big boss on the start up screen was Solid Snakes commander but he was a traitor who was actually the one pulling the strings in outer heaven its reaaally complicated to explain if you have not played metal gear solid 1 and 3

    and Big Boss is A.K.A Naked snake

    and Solid Snake is just Solid Snake

    big boss passed his codename to Solid Snake when he got his Big Boss Title

    and to fuck you up even more Solid and Big Boss looks kinda same

  • Where can I find the Metal Gear MSX ROM in English? I can only find the Japanese ones.

  • Ta Ra. Dun dun dun dun dun dun. Ta Ra. Dun dun dun dun dun dun.

  • this looks like the version that's included in MGS3 Subsistence.

  • i feel asleep

  • I have this game on my mobile phone :)

  • Can you please provide a download link for this game?

    I can't find the English translated version of this game anywhere :(

  • ...OH, THAT'S where the VR music came from!

  • Did anyone here actually own the MSX? I'd like to see a video of it running.

  • Nes version has alot better and more varied soundtrack. Otherwise it's worse.

  • @777Faron

    This is better!

  • This music was used in Snatcher for the Sega CD. You hear it when Metal Gear Mk. II (the main character's little robot friend based on the real Metal Gear) first makes his appearance. :)

  • The music in the V.R Stages of the first Metal Gear Solid seem to be an updated variation of the music used here.

    :'D Kewl!

  • One of the best games I've ever played!

    Even with all the games that come out on the ps3 en xbox

    Metal gear was/is killer

  • 3:43 How did they not see you?

  • @GlitchmasterStudios In this game, the guards can only see in straight lines.

  • Man the music in this version is awesome...NES version.... sucks...

  • Damn, I've never had the privilege to play this version. I've only ever played the NES version, which I found enjoyable. But this version looks hella better than the NES one!

  • Love this game. Kojima has to make the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Just hope noboby try to screw Kojima over on the originals like the they did with Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge. I under stand now why in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the manipulation of policies was a topic mentioned. Kojima was frustrated as well as the people who worked on the original games.

  • Aw, this game seemed so innocent and fun.

    Now the series has become one huge epic saga.

  • is this for pc?

    cuz i wanna buy it

  • kojima should remake the 2 original games...

  • they should remake the first 3 metal gears for the ps3, metal gear metal gear 2 and metal gear solid

  • WOW METAL GEAR SOLID STARTED ON A MICROSOFT SYSTEM I DIDNT KNOW THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love KONAMI games!

  • Comment removed

  • do tou now how to save? i have the emulator and i dont now xd

  • I bet no1 thot wat this game would turn into a long ass saga

  • @Iceburner96 Both are correct. Gray is the US version of grey.

  • OMG!!!!! TYP-O AT 0:41 its grAy fox not grEy fox!!!!!

  • @Iceburner96

    Byg dyel. Onlee wone letyr ys ronng.

  • @shpladau whu.....TALK ENGLISH ASSHOLE MOTHERFUCKER

  • @Iceburner96

    I was just joking. You cared that one letter was wrong. So I made my whole responce wrong.

  • is this the incident in Zanzibar ? and for what system is this ?

  • @ericorenato88 No, this is the first game which involves the incident in Outer Heaven. The second game is involves the Zanzibar incident =] As for which system this is on, it was originally released on the MSX computer in Japan, but this is the translated version which can be played on an msx emulator and it was also included with MG2 on the second disc of MGS3: Subsistance. Btw, I'm pretty sure this walkthrough was done on an msx emulator, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong =]

  • @LittleOP95 man, can`t fucking believe it. the very first metal gear!!

  • @nachodc Believe it!! Hideo Kojima's first masterpiece! =D

  • i've got this on my phone... It's hard as...

  • This game is sic man, I'll get this for sure.

  • I'm not a fan of the grocers' apostrophe on "Cig's"

  • ..... funny thing, the version on the Subsistance bonus disc has better translation... but not bad for people who don't quite get the slang Snake sometimes used.

  • @BillyCauseyjr my second disc of Subsistance broke because of the stupid packagine... Bit bummed of that... :(

  • i wonder if anyone who saw this game at the stores ever thought it would become such a large and badass sequel

  • @A0den u gay just because u called me a whore

  • NOTHING can beat the original Metal Gear.the NES version is messed up thumbs up if u agree

  • @5nesta thumbs down just because you're one of those "thumbs up if" attention whores...

  • what the hell is that button under the video that looks like a soccer ball or football if you're not american

  • I remember when i had a ps2, i played this game a lot on the Bonus disc MGS3 Subsistence. This game is one hard son of a bi*ch, but it's a really good game. Hope Hideo Kojima makes a remake of this game. Love all his game, really a masterpiece :)

  • @Gratrium I acctually think that the guys who did the bionic commando rearmed game would do a really good job, there was somthing really 8-bit feeling about that game even though it's anything but 8-bit.

  • It was damn good game

    I did play it on MSX-2 without save option

  • if his codename is already big boss, then doesn't that mean its after mgs3?

  • @omghitbycar yes, this took place after MGS3.

  • Yea but the scores in MGS3 and 4 are incredible!

  • Do you play this on an emulator? If so can you help me?...

    I really wanna play this, I'm a big MGS/MG fan..

  • @fuzzydude64

    Get the latest blueMSX emulator, it's free to download and easy to use.

  • @johnhassink I HAVE blueMSX. Its confusing as hell. All this cartridge and slot 1 and 2 crap....

  • @fuzzydude64

    Okay, I see.

    Depending on the version ROM you have,

    I guess you'd best go to Options --> Emulation, then set it to "MSX2+",

    OR set it to "MSX2" and set the frequency to 60 Hz. This is important for the game and music speed!

    Just insert the cartridge image in slot 1 and you should be fine.

    If you still have troubles, just drop me a line and I'll help you. Greetings.

  • @johnhassink Oh ok! I think I got it! Its working now. Thanks! But...I don't know what buttons on the keyboard to what, lol. Do you know the controls?..

  • @fuzzydude64

    [F-1] = pause game (also enter passwords to cheat here)

    [F-2] = weapon select

    [F-3] = equipment select

    [F-4] = transceiver

    [M] or [N] key = punch

    [SPACE] = use weapon

    Enjoy this great game! Full maps are available on the web.

  • @johnhassink damn...I think i messed it up...I dont even know what a cartridge image is. I was tryin to play metal gear 1, but somehow ended up pplayin metalg gear 2. then i ended the emulation to try playing metal gear 1. And now it just does this infinite loop of the blue MSX title screen thing...Why does it have to be so confusing?.. :(

  • @fuzzydude64

    A cartridge image is nothing more than the dumped data which was on it, similar to a disk image.

    For MSX, the cartridge image always should have the extension ".ROM" or ".MSX".

    Metal Gear 1 & 2 are different ROMs.

    If you have inserted the correct ROM image and your emulator keeps rebooting, then your copy is probably broken.

  • @johnhassink Shoot...Do you know where I can pick up the needed files for MG 1 & 2?

  • Comment removed

  • @johnhassink Ok ok...I've figured out ONE thing. I just downloaded roms of the 2 games from doperoms.com..The one of Metal Gear 2 seems to work...But I'm having problems with Metal Gear 1..Should i download a different copy of it?

  • @fuzzydude64

    Yeah, screw doperoms, srsly.

    With the site I told you about you probably never need another one for downloading MSX games.

  • @johnhassink I went there..and found the game...but I dont know how to download it

  • @fuzzydude64

    You clicked on the name?

    Then you got to the page with screenshots, more info, etc.

    Click the name of the game again and download will start.

  • @johnhassink Ok that was the problem...I was using Bing to translate the page...which prevented the download from starting..but I got it! And its working now! Thanks ^.^

  • @fuzzydude64

    No problem.

    Enjoy!

    Go to CheatMSX dot com to download a full map of the game in case you're having trouble.

  • First, try to contact missing our "Grey Fox."

    "I feel asleep!!"

    "The Truck have started to move!"

    Just some examples of Metal Gear's NES failure of a translation.

  • cig's

  • nice

  • damn AWESOME game!!

    and the music is great and atmospheric, but I prefer the epic NES themes.

  • I hope Hideo Kojima will make a remake of this game on PS3, it would have been sweet fighting big boss again :D

  • i remember this game, is true really hard to finish

  • Oh damn! Playing this game a lot of time and Now I see ... Those tanks (0:20) has this face : 3

  • MG for MSX - A Perfect game

    MG for NES - A Perfect game all butchered.

  • @grashbar MG for Mobile: Same as MSX, but in your pocket.

  • does anyone know how he gets to outer heaven? does he use a submarine like he did in mgs or a boat or what. it's not like he swimmed all the way there. please respond.

  • You're an idiot.

  • I love Metal Gear play it all the time on MGS 3 Persistence. I love it

  • @sandersonspartans62 i like the way u think, man, oh and where can u get a english rom of this, and a english rom of MG2

  • what consol is this for??

  • MSX The NES version wasnt as good as the original. this one came out on the msx.

  • @sanchez1560510 aaah!! Ok, sorry, but I knew only that version, where i can find it? can you say me please =3?

  • Because the MSX was created by Hideo Kojima(the original creator of the metal gear series till nowadays) , but the NES was NOT made by him.

  • The Japanese MSX

  • Heh... the VR Mission music in MG:S was taken from this. Nice.

  • i noticed that too!

  • Do you think someone can help me get this bitch on PC I can't find a emulator that works with vista.

  • operation intrude L337

  • What's the name of the intro song?

  • @Seymroth that song is in the vr training of the first mgs... song name: VR Training

  • Theme of Tara

  • I gave up on this game pretty fast. MGS is another stort though!

  • is this guy snake or a different character

  • @Madsinsyco13

    Yea the character you play in this game is Solid Snake.

  • Yeah yesterday youtube tried to double team me with a sausage video so i know what your saying man!

  • i got dis for my cell phone look for metal gear classic .jar

  • the thing i dont like about this is that they vaguley tell you what to do, and when you try to call someone on the radio, they dont pick up , WTF ?

  • Have you ever played the Japanese of this game or even the released version on Disc 2 of 'Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence' ?

  • yes , yes i have, Disc 2:persistence

  • Then you should also realize that they are not so "vague" in that version.

  • they are vague, big boss rarley picks up the radio 80 percent of the time, they dont tell you the codec calls at all they just say stuff like "call shneider" and i am wondering what the codec is but no, they dont tell you, casue big boss is an evil b@st@ard.

  • #1- Define "80 percent of the time".

    #2- Those weren't Codecs, those were just radios. In fact, first you say radio, but after that, you say codec?

    #3- They do explain what a Codec is in 'Metal Gear Solid'.

  • what i mean is like for example when you get to the gas mask room , big boss calls you he says you will need a gas mask, and to ask shcneider , well tell me, what is his frequency number, and when i ment 80 percent of time, i meant that when you are having trouble , and you call him, he doesnt answer, oh thanks big boss for all the help.

    and does it matter the diff between codecs and radios

    and yes i know what a codec is, i meant the number, sorry

  • Well, if you first say "radio" but then you say "codec", then the difference must matter.
