METAL GEAR SOLID

This is a good way to play MGS 1, if you a revisiting an old classic, or playing for the first time. I was able to remap my XBOX One controls in the games standard menu and have it work the same as the PSX pad did. You can make the cutscenes play in proper widescreen and have the game render in widescreen (HUD will be slightly stretched, but game is perfect) using; http://ps2wide.net/pc.html#mgs Read the readme in that file to figure out the install. I edited the .ini afterwards to make it render in 1920x1080. Only thing I needed to do to get it running was run it in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode. Enjoy.

I really enjoyed replaying this game and i started again as soon as i finished it. I just completed it twice and i might go back for a 3rd at some stage to experience a few secret unlocks in the 3rd playthrough. I had a bit of trouble at first with assigning new controls on keyboard but got it all working well in 20 or so minutes of testing. In the end I had movement on NUM 4568 which was strange but better than the original 4268... It takes a while to get used to controls like these on keyboard but I managed to play the game just fine. Decent price for an old game like this too since the content is obviously limited and lacking compared to today's standards. Still a great stealth/action game and good for anyone looking to replay this classic. If you've never played it before then i'm not sure how this would hold up without any nostalgia...

Takes a while to configure you're controls (its not that bad then mgs2) and you don't really need to install a patch so its pretty good

Some will recommend them, however you lose the FMV's in cutscenes with fan patches. I just can't accept that. Rest assured if you play straight from GOG or use the fan patches, this is another way to play MGS1. Nothing has to be said about it. Its a near perfect game. If you haven't played MGS before for some reason, this is your chance.

I still play this game to this day. The story is one of th emostr engaging and the game play from a birds eye view is still quite different from anything you will ever play. I personally feel that the graphics hold up to this day despite it being a bunch of pixels. You owe it to yourself to play this game.
