This review is gonna be a little short because there isn't I don't have a whole lot to say about the original Metal Gear. I appreciate the ambition this one has, there are ideas here that you wouldn't really expect from a game of it's time; the radio frequency specifically is an aspect I didn't think would be as heavily used as it is. It is not implemented the best, the game flat out doesn't tell you one of the main frequencies you need to progress, but I still think it is cool and an immersive way of giving the player information that was ahead of its time. Other than that the game is pretty simple, stay out of guards literal line of sight, gather items to progress, and fight a couple bosses; it's simple but fun. I would suggest playing with a map, maybe not one that tells you where items are, but one that at least shows you what doors need what key card.
