Metal Gear

Commodore 64 · 1990 · WOR

Publisher: Ultra Games · Developer: Konami

“Metal Gear” puts the player in the role of “Solid Snake,” an elite commando soldier tasked with infiltrating an enemy base to destroy “Metal Gear,” the ultimate superweapon. Unlike traditional shooters, the game emphasizes stealth and strategy — instead of shooting everything in sight, players must learn to sneak around and evade stronger enemies to avoid detection. Additionally, prisoners must be rescued: freeing enough hostages increases the player's rank and maximum health, while killing a hostage results in an immediate demotion. This adds a strategic planning element to the gameplay. The graphics are impressive for their time, and the user interface is intuitive.
