| Metal Gear | Konami;Ultra Games;Playtronic (Konami) | 1987 | Outer Heaven leader CaTaffy has activated the ultimate super weapon: Metal Gear! Responding to the crisis, covert unit "Fox Hound" is called into action, and that's where you come into play. Trained in hand-to-hand combat and skilled in every weapon known to man, you're Fox Hound's lethal fighting machine, code named "Solid Snake". But on this mission you better be sly as well, to surprise heavily-armed enemies, busting 'em up quietly and rescuing their hostages before alarms are triggered. Plus you gotta maintain radio contact with Commander South, who'll feed you crucial info on Metal Gear's whereabouts. To survive, capture sub-machine guns, Barettas, grenade launchers, and plastic explosives, until you find and destroy Metal Gear, ending CaTaffy's reign of terror!*** [49]*** [33]*** [1]***On the one hand "Metal Gear" is a classic, introducing stealth elements into the action-adventure genre and the first game in one of the most successful and acclaimed videogame series ever. Graphics are nice and controls are good. However there are numerous small and bigger gameplay issues. First of all its pretty difficult with lots of trial and error scenes (sudden pitfalls). The inventory and item management is not very good. Example: In order to open doors you must acquire key cards. There are up to eight cards. To open a door with it you have to activate the card. So when you stand before a new door you must constantly switch between all cards until you have found the right one. Also the constant respawn of enemies once you return into another screen is something I disliked. The game has some sort of story (mostly told by radio calls), but I expected a bit more in this regard.*** [52]*** [27]***[b]Tags[/b] This is the first game in the Metal Gear series. Stealth is extremely important to playing the game. This game is not compliant with Nintendo's content guidelines for at least two reasons:[spoiler=1. fowl language hidden;close]This password,****M E1111 11111 11111 11111, will start you off at the end of the game with nothing except a pack of cigarettes.[/spoiler]2. cigarettes.
