Since everyone is asking about the background: It's an art for Twin Snakes made by Noriyoshi Ohrai that was included in book from MGS3 Premium Package or something like that, I don't have it personally and used scan of it found online. It's pretty sick tho

This artwork is legendary

It was 1998 and I vividly remember going to Toys R' Us with my brother and mom, he got Resident Evil 2 while I scooped this gem of a game up, hours and hours of playtime were accumulated, along with an eternal love and respect for this game that shaped my childhood and even into my adult years, even to this day I can say without a doubt it is one of, if not my favorite game to ever have the honor of playing, I miss those days so much.

Underrated as fuck, MGS1 had god-tier ambience, on par with horror games like Silent Hill.

Since I recognized metal gear solid as the greatest work of art over 22 years ago I can't believe I've never seen that amazing art work I the thumbnail

Everyone might find the action themes most iconic in Metal Gear, but I think the ambient tracks featured in the series also deserve similar recognition and also deserve to be enjoyed.

Art goes hard

This the best MGS soundtrack by far. It really sounds like it was made by John Carpenter. It truly gives the vibes of Escape From New York.

00:57 Oh the memories all of these tracks bring, thank you. I was going through some pretty rough times when this game came out, and although my path eventually led me to become a psychotherapist and help other people (or at least try my best to help), I'll always be thankful for videogames for the release they gave me at the time even though I didn't realize it back then. MGS, Final Fantasy VII, Vagrant Story, Tomb Raider, Tekken... the whole lot of the 90s. Not just the game worlds, the excellent storytelling and incredible characters, but the music and the ambience. I remember just sitting and listening to the ambience of the wolf cavern in this game. It was so atmospheric and soothing.

The artwork kinda reminds me of Castlevania: SotN Man, Konami made some great PS1 games

Dont know how this took years for everyone to find, but it's exactly what I needed.

This is amazing. all that's needed is some chaff grenade toggling sounds and some guard choking/neck snapping sounds.

God, Discovery is such an amazimg piece of ambience.

My youth

A hind d? Colonel, what's a Russian gunship doing here..

thanks, this is the highest quality i found in YT

The thumbnail looks like a movie poster for the series (in a good action movie kinda way).

"metal gear? It can't be..."

These are all my favorites! Excellent choice!

Best series EVER!
