Metal Gear

     Have you played Metal Gear? I am sure some of you out there have played the Metal Gear Solid series, or at least have heard of it and its impact on the stealth genre. However, the series does not begin with the first Metal Gear Solid on Playstation, it actually started back on the original Nintendo Entertainment System with the aforementioned game, Metal Gear. In this game, you play as protagonist Solid Snake, a US operative on an infiltration mission to uncover a secret plot to utilize a mobile nuclear warhead, also known as Metal Gear.

     Before I say anything about his game, take in to account that it is a classic. That being said, it is a game on the NES. With that comes the pixel graphics, the beeping sound effects, and the very simplistic gameplay. You can move up, down, left, and right. Along with these commands, you can also strike or shoot if you have a gun equipped.

     The goal of this game is to proceed through the levels, preferably through means of sneaking, which is almost necessary because like most stealth-based games it is almost impossible to survive in a big battle. I would recommend checking this title out if you are a fan of the series, but if you're not then there is not much to check out here. This is more for those previously addressed fans or for people who enjoy old school gaming. If you are not too much into older games from the Nintendo era, I would recommend Metal Gear Solid on the original Playstation.
