We’re about six weeks from the release of the next Metal Gear Solid game, and when it debuts, it’ll owe a lot to one of its predecessors that is turning a quarter of a century old this year.
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake is now a 25-year-old game (read more about it here). It debuted in 1990 on the MSX2, a Microsoft-backed personal computer that was popular in Japan. This release had many of key elements that you would find in a modern Metal Gear game like stealth, radio conversations, and man-sized air ducts.
