/vr/ - Retro Games

In a world where Kojima never made Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and decided to do continue working on original IPs instead, this would've been seen a perfectly acceptable sequel to the original Metal Gear instead of being treated as the black sheep of the series.

The gameplay is pretty faithful to Metal Gear 1 for the most part, managing to recreate the play mechanics from the original MSX2 version more faithfully than the first NES game did, with the only notable departure being the side-view segments that the game occasionally throws in.

The only legit complaints are the awkwardly-translated dialogue and the questionable palette choice for Snake's military fatigues. Otherwise, most of the hate comes from blind Kojima fanboyism.
