You have to shoot really, really fast from exactly the right spot. It is a complete pain.

Yeah it's one of those, I know what to do, I just haven't been able to execute yet. Third time's the charm?

I'm not a PC gamer at all and hate using a keyboard to play any game. But even then who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have N and M as the punch buttons?!!!
I don't know if i can play this game like this. Is the NES version really that bad? Because i might switch to that just for the controller.

I wasn't very stealthy in this one. My main tactic was to punch people in the head when they were turned the other way.
I liked this game, and it's impressive for the GBC, but it feels a bit stripped back compared to the MSX games in terms of ambition, and the level design isn't as good. It's fun, but probably the weakest of the 3. The fight with Metal Gear was a bastard in this one though.
Anyhow, thats all the 2D Metal Gear games I'm likely to play. It was a good together retro month, and I feel I've enjoyed my time with the games. I;ve now played all of what I consider to be the 'old style' Metal Gear games (Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid GBC and Metal Gear Solid PS1) with overhead view and simple stealth. Now I suppose I should try the more complex stealth of the later games at some point. Maybe Metal Gear Solid 2 can go on my summer games marathon.
