I hated the port of the first and its sequel for the NES, I think the sequel was even worse. On the MSX (or on the second disk of Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater Subsistence) the first game and its sequel are both really good. I don't think Kojima had anything to do with the NES port of his first game or with the NES sequel.
Yep im talking about the MSX2 games. Ive got Subsistence but i dont know if i should play through them. The NES MG1 was a terrible port, and the other game, Snakes Revenge was an action-orientated game made for the West, also another game that Kojima wasnt involved in. Can you tell me whats so great about MG2?
Sorry, it's been a long time since I played them. I don't remember all that much. From what I remember I would probably agree with swaz and say that they haven't aged well. They were both good at the time, and I remember enjoying playing through them but I really don't remember all that much about them when I did.
It's a question of whether or not you can appreciate retro games. If you are one of those with little patience I wouldn't bother. Anyway, if you have it, why are you asking? Just try it out. Yeesh.
I'm playing MG2: Solid Snake now via Disc 2 of Subsistence. It's definitely worth playing. The gameplay is still solid and it's surprisingly detailed for a game of it's age. like stated above, it's pretty much like playing Metal Gear Solid 1 in 2d.
