Metal Gear for NES

I got this game in the mail a few days ago along with another game I didn't hold on to a few days ago. I won them for a decent price. It looks good, as you can see, and just needs a bit of cleaning.

I honestly don't really have an opinion of the game. I've never played too much of it and I hear that it's nothing special. But this is one of the few games that I actually remember my first exposure to.

Back in 2001, Metal Gear Solid 2 came out for the PS2. I was seeing a boy at the time that was a fanatic about the series. He would always proclaim that he had been a fan of Metal Gear since the original. He had a gym bag packed with NES games that he never really touched, but once Metal Gear Solid 2 game out, he dusted off his NES and pulled out this game. I remember thinking that the game didn't even compare to Metal Gear Solid 2 (not that I was interested in that game). The PS2 game was much more enjoyable to watch. Funny, now that I think about it, this game and the MGS2 were the only two Metal Gear games that he owned. Quite the fanatic.

I know that's not a very exciting story, but hey. It's my memory of this game.
