METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1 BONUS CONTENT

I don't think anyone really cares about the NES games beyond historical curiosity, and in terms of emulation they're obviously fine. But a lot of people are going to overlook the digital graphic novels, and I think they're pretty interesting in their own right. The first DGN was originally released on the PSP, and back then I remember not really getting into it because of both the presentation (it had music and sound effects, but no voice acting, which was later added when it was made into a 'movie' for the Legacy Collection) and the fact that at the time it was being billed as a replacement for playing MGS1, despite it obviously making a lot of heavy story cuts to fit into a 2 hour runtime. But reapproaching it now on its own merits, a lot of the story changes are pretty clever, and you can tell the writer really understood the assignment as well as the series as a whole up to that point. Some changes are made to layer the story over itself to shorten the runtime and some are just there to help the story mesh with the series narrative at the time, like finally correcting Dr. Clark's identity or trying to reconcile Gray Fox's personality with his other more current incarnations. F…

Including the NES games is neat, but I'm real glad they included the motion comics, served as a great refresher to watch before the MGS4 port came out.

worth it for the charming menu music

the movies are 720p and nes games are terrible lol

Again! Excellent Collection of games. Sucks they couldn't fit it all on one download. MGS 1 (Nes) still the GOAT! "I FEEL ASLEEP!"

MG1 NES version while the core concept is there it feels messy and very janky at times. Its "fine" as standalone but compared to MSX its ehh. Snake's Revenge...as non-canon standalone game its alright. It can get pretty difficult and annoying so its not for everyone. As a Metal Gear game however? Pretty bad. Just enjoy it as non-canon standalone. On Linux Digital Graphic Novels require some work to get working but they are a fun watch.
