For the original video game titled Metal Gear, see Metal Gear (video game). For the titular weapon, see Metal Gear (weapon).

Metal Gear is a series of stealth based games created by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami. In the series, the player takes control of an elite military operative (usually Solid Snake) repeatedly facing off against the latest incarnation of the eponymous superweapon, "Metal Gear", a bipedal walking tank with nuclear launching capabilities.

The games


The original Metal Gear debuted on the MSX2 computer in 1987 in Japan and Europe. This was one of the first games in which using stealth was emphasized over direct confrontation with the enemy. This was due to the MSX hardware's limitations when it came to handling more conventional action games. Many of the series' trademark aspects were already present, including the wireless communicator used by the player's character. The game was later released in North America, Europe and Japan on the NES/Famicom, selling over a million units.

3) Metal Gear Solid 3: It is the best in the series, and the best game of it's type. It's also probably the best looking PS2 game.
