MGS1 is a great game; I highly recommend it. However, this is the Digital Dialect port from 2000. While it now functions on modern PCs, it still has all of the same issues that make it by far the worst way to experience this classic. - The audio is awful. It's horrifically compressed, some music doesn't loop properly, some areas play the wrong music, some tracks are entirely missing, skipping cutscenes causes voiceovers/cutscene audio to break, etc. - Missing/broken post-processing effects. - No analog input. - By default, the game uses a font for subtitles that's rendered at a far greater resolution than any other asset, as well as bilinear filtering for textures that clearly weren't designed for it. - Missing content. The port is based on the Japan-exclusive Integral version, yet it's missing the alternate enemy placement in NG+ and some secret Codec frequencies. Certain features I won't spoil that are present in every other version are either absent or made worse. There was a period where this was the most accessible way to play MGS1, but now that the Master Collection version is available, I can't think of any reason to buy this vastly inferior version.
