Compilation bringing together the two original 1987 and 1990 MSX Metal Gear games. Kojima's first steps in the sneaking mission franchise are historically precious. Very dated visuals are offset by historical interest and the stealth gameplay evolution that would lead to MGS.

Description
A Japanese Konami compilation released in 2004 under Konami Best, gathering the original MSX2 Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 - Solid Snake on a PS2 disc (with The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2). Simple emulation, but a genuine cornerstone to discover the foundations of Hideo Kojima's series.

"Masterful"
Bringing together the two founding MSX entries, this compilation reveals espionage plots surprisingly dense for their time. Betrayals, ambiguous mentors and the soldier's dilemmas already lay down the themes dear to the series. To rediscover these roots is to measure the narrative ambition of a saga ahead of its time.
