Just played metal gear solid. Damn, that actually surprised me. The story was good, gameplay was good, and this was all done on the PS1? I'm taking a small break before heading up to MGS2 and figured I'd share this screenshot for all my fellow gamers XD

I just started playing MGS for the first time! When I was a kid MGS was one of those "grown up" games I couldn't play. I picked up a copy from a retro game store a few weeks ago and finally sat down to play at the weekend. I see what all the hype is about, it's like diving into a 90s espionage thriller. Looking forward to playing further!

Enjoy it, I wish I could go back and play MGS1 for the first time again. Such a good game.

It was my first Rated M game and it set the bar impossibly high

When I was a kid a babysitter I had brought MGS1 and played it. It always stuck in my mind and later got me to try the series and I loved it. The portion I saw included the >!jail cell and using the ketchup to get out.!< No other game was doing things like MGS at the time.

I must have been around 5/6 at the time. Its safe to say that game wasn't appropriate, but it really showed what gaming could be.

Edit: added spoiler tag. I hope no one saw that who shouldn't have. I forgot that despite talking about a ~26 year old game that it's in a thread for people just now playing it.
