METAL GEAR

METAL GEAR laid the foundation not only for the popular series, but also for the entire stealth action genre. The main character secretly infiltrates an enemy base. He conducts various operations on enemy territory, trying not to catch the eye of his adversaries and not appear in the field of view of surveillance cameras. Periodically, he collects useful loot and fights bosses.

This release contains the original project, which was released in 1987 on computers of those years, and not its remake or ports to older consoles. The plot plot here is as follows. Solid Snake, on behalf of the special forces command, penetrates the Outer Heaven fortress. Therefore, he needs to single-handedly destroy the walking Metal Gear tank, which is capable of delivering nuclear strikes from anywhere on the globe. Fans of the series may encounter familiar characters such as Gray Fox and Big Boss.

Initially, the protagonist is unarmed. He only has a pack of cigarettes and a walkie-talkie, through which he will often communicate with various colorful NPCs. Sometimes his interlocutors give him various instructions and practical advice. The scout can fight with his fists, and the rest of the weapons can be obtained at the base. It is not worth arranging constant firefights here, since then the alarm will go off (the same happens when the hero touches the infrared rays). To turn off the siren, you can try to kill all your enemies or escape to another floor. Enemies will sometimes drop items such as ammo or rations.

Patrols roam the military facility. They can call for reinforcements if they spot Snake. But he can run away from them to the next screen. To access new areas you need to look for key cards. The game has a kind of leveling up. For rescuing hostages, a special forces soldier receives an increase in rank, which entails an increase in carrying capacity and maximum health. The prisoners also share valuable information.
