3DO looks amazing.

After searching for it, I can't seem to find where to get it. Can someone tell me where I can find it?

I remember reading about it on DCemu a wile back. I tried searching for it, but their website is so embarrassingly broken that I couldn't go two pages without it crashing.

Whoops, my mistake; it seems like the Saturn version is just a port of the PC version. I guess the 3DO version takes the top prize.

It's still very intriguing. Most of us have a Saturn, and a lot of them chipped. Not too many people have a 3D0 though. I also find it awesome that it's a homebrew port.

Woha, people weren't kidding with MGS cutscenes. I'm playing the third game and my head is asploding with russian tales.

Also i suck, really:

1) Jump off cliff in first area
2) Get eaten by crocodiles in the second area
3) Get shot by moronic guards in the third area.


BTW, how worth playing are the original Metal Gear titles? I tried the first one a bit and it looks entertaining but the level design is kind of bland. The second one looks more interesting but perhaps I shouldn't play it without playing the first.

How canon are they? Are they related to the MGS series?

They are quite worth playing, and completely canon, but you can easily just read the events of the first game if you don't want to bother playing them.

I agree with BoringSupreez. They're very much worth playing. Metal Gear 2 is one of the best 16-bit games I've ever played. I'd honestly suggest playing Metal Gear 2 and skipping the first one, unless you're the patient type. Metal Gear 2 just takes everything Metal Gear did well and multiplies by 10. I guarantee you'll be impressed.
