The orginal Metal Gear Solid rocks!! Snakes out in this huge fortress gameplay is very similar to the second one (control wise)
but here's a bit of run down:
The original Metal Gear debuted on the MSX2 computer in 1987 in Japan and Europe. This was one of the first games in which using stealth was emphasized over direct confrontation with the enemy, a young Hideo Kojima's response to the shooting-based game designs which prevailed at the time. Many of the series' trademark aspects were already present, including the wireless communicator used by the player's character. The game was later released in North America, Europe and Japan on the NES/Famicom, selling over a million units.
A sequel, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, was released in 1990 for the MSX2 in Japan only. Metal Gear 2 made numerous enhancements and additions to the game, including a deeper and more developed storyline, along with significant improvements in gameplay and AI. Many of its gameplay and plot elements were carried over to its sequel Metal Gear Solid.
The Metal Gear series made a comeback in 1998 in the form of Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation, which adapted the gameplay of its predecessor Metal Gear 2 in 3D. While the first two Metal Gear titles were moderately successful, Metal Gear Solid was a huge hit, selling over 6 million units.[1] This paved the way for similar stealth-based games and at the same time, established Metal Gear as one of Konami's hallmarks!!
