The original Metal Gear game, released in 1987 for the MSX2 by Konami, is a pioneering action-adventure title that introduced the stealth genre to gaming. Designed by Hideo Kojima, the game follows protagonist Solid Snake as he attempts to infiltrate the fortress of a nuclear weapons disposal site, Outer Heaven, to stop the weapon known as Metal Gear—a walking nuclear-equipped tank. The gameplay emphasizes stealth over direct combat, allowing players to avoid enemies and complete objectives without being detected. This innovative approach set it apart from other action games of the time. The game’s plot, which explores themes of military power, nuclear war, and espionage, laid the groundwork for the deeper narrative elements that would become a hallmark of the Metal Gear series. Though initially modest in sales, the game’s influence has grown, leading to a critically acclaimed franchise.
