Metal Gear Solid games are famous for heavily convoluted plot, dramatic sequences and some of the most amazing boss fights. But there is one more area where the series has excelled too. There have been many instances throughout the 20 year old history of the franchise where the player’s heart has been touch or got so driven by the moment that we actually started feeling a part of the game.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
From first-person espionage thrillers to the original installments of beloved franchises, check out the greatest retro video games we recommend for anyone.
I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.
Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.
I have and always been the biggest fan of the series for over 12 years. I am still gaming due to a man called Solid Snake. Enough said.
I agree whole heartedly with the writer..
I've been playing Metal Gear for almost all my life, these moments will also be apart of me.
Brilliant article overall, screens and videos....This is the ultimate 11 list. 11 is kinda odd but still pretty good!
There are many memorable moments in the series.
