The year 1998 can be considered as the single most important one for stealth games with three important hallmark releases of the genre - namely FromSoftware's Tenchu: Stealth Assassins and Konami's Metal Gear Solid having been released during that year. While all three of these franchises boast meaningful contributions to the stealth genre, Metal Gear Solid remains a franchise that has remained relevant after all these years. Furthermore, many of the biggest stealth franchises such as the likes of Splinter Cell even owe their very existence to Konami's 1998 breakout hit.
It's been almost 24 years since Metal Gear Solid first burst onto the seams, and the game is still being actively discussed by legions of fans around the globe on account of its many advances in game design and narrative elements. While its age has certainly taken away a fair deal of its charm, it remains one hell of an experience nevertheless. To that effect, we are taking a look back at Metal Gear Solid 1 all these years later.
