Metal Gear Solid

But the US government recruits him once again for a dangerous mission.

The members of Foxhound, a renegade special forces unit, threaten to use a devastating nuclear weapon if the government doesn't hand them the mortal remains of Big Boss, their former commander.

Foxhound is now led by a talented, ambitious young man with the codename Liquid Snake.

Knowing that the visual resemblance between this new terrorist mastermind and himself can not be coincidental, Solid Snake agrees to infiltrate the new Foxhound base, destroy the unknown nuclear weapon, and find the truth about his own identity.

The gameplay in Metal Gear Solid follows the prototype established in the two earlier Metal Gear games.

Solid Snake has a limited arsenal of weapons and cannot allow himself to pave his way to the goal by killing all the enemies.

He has to stay unnoticed, hide, crawl, wait for the right moment, sneak, and use various gadgets that will prevent him from alerting the enemy.

Boss battles and some other sequences are played out as action-oriented set pieces, with the player having to figure out the weakness of the enemy in order to succeed.

The game utilizes a traditional top-down view, but the graphics in this installment are real 3D.

Conversations with Snake's allies and cutscenes are used extensively to advance the plot and gain more insight into it.

Metal Gear Solid for Game Boy Color is currently worth €170.99 loose, €188.07 complete in box, and €212.71 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Metal Gear Solid has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Metal Gear Solid, loose is €170.99 and CIB is €188.07 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Metal Gear Solid is currently worth €170.99 loose, versus €175.20 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
