Metal Gear Solid was one of the original breakthrough titles in the stealth gaming genre. It follows Solid Snake, a soldier who is infiltrating a nuclear weapons facility on a remote Alaskan island in the Fox Archipelago, codenamed Shadow Moses. Snake must rescue two hostages from FOX-HOUND, a high-tech special forces unit gone rogue, and then stop FOX-HOUND from launching a nuclear warhead.
Changes from the original release of Metal Gear Solid include
Addition of first-person view.
A level of difficulty for newcomers.
Improved artificial intelligence for some enemies (including bosses) on higher difficulty settings.
An "Alternate Round" for each difficulty, with different enemy placements.
300 VR Training missions ( tasvideos.org/... ) on a separate disc.
In this run, theenglishman ( tasvideos.org/... )'s goal is to beat all the bosses in the game; this results in the run actually playing far more of Disc 1 than our currently published any% run ( tasvideos.org/... ), which skips literally every boss on that disc. Don't go thinking this is a low-glitch run, though!
