This version is the basis of the subsequent re-releases.
New Easy mode - The player can choose to play with the original MSX2 version's difficulty or with an easier difficulty setting.
Boss Survival mode - After clearing the game once (regardless of the difficulty setting), a new game mode is unlocked, in which the player can fight against all of the main game's bosses.
The player will be awarded with a title based on their clear time (this is also the case in the main game).
Infinite Bandana - A hidden item that becomes available to the player after clearing the game once on either difficulty setting.
Like the bandana featured in Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2, this will conserve the player's ammunition to the present amount while firing.
Rewritten script - The Japanese script has been rewritten to include hiragana and kanji, in addition to romaji and katakana.
Name changes - Several of the game's characters had their names changed in the mobile phone version.
Removal of passwords - The passwords that are featured in the MSX2 version have been removed.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Metal Gear for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Metal Gear to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2004.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Metal Gear — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
