A departure from the MSX2 edition, the 8-bit console port for the military stealth game was developed without the involvement of series designer Hideo Kojima. Solid Snake of the high-tech special forces unit Foxhound is tasked with infiltrating a fortified nationstate named Outer Heaven to destroy a mechanized bipedal weapon armed with nuclear weaponry, dubbed "Metal Gear."
Compilation title Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake is available for Windows through Steam, verified for use with the Steam Deck. Metal Gear is included in the Master Collection for PS4 and PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
From the product page:
The first title in the METAL GEAR series, released in 1987. This praised game series was born from the idea of avoiding combat and infiltrating enemy territory undetected, a complete reversal of common action gameplay resulting in the creation of a brand-new game genre: stealth action.PixelCrib - Metal Gear - Original NES Video Game Soundtrack 10"
