An Entertainment Weekly article from 1998 says that "Sony found so impressive that it’s handing third-party developer Konami $1 million plus for marketing.". Is this accurate? Harizotoh9 (talk) 09:24, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Metal Gear Solid → Metal Gear Solid (1998 video game) – The term "Metal Gear Solid" is more synonymous with the subject at Metal Gear, given the multiple games that now exist with the "Metal Gear Solid" name. For this reason, I propose the following move (with "1998" since "video game" is ambiguous: see Metal Gear Solid (2000 video game)), and then redirect Metal Gear Solid to Metal Gear.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Metal Gear Solid Drama CD. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Steel1943 (talk) 01:40, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
On September 25, 2020, the game was re-released on GOG, along with the original Metal Gear (MSX version, unsure if its emulation or not), MGS2, and a compilation containing emulated versions of Castlevania 1-3, Contra, and Super C (all NES). This could probably be mentioned somewhere in their respective pages. Wiki Shill (talk) 00:33, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

@Martin IIIa: looks like you forgot to fill in the "NGen38" ref you added. -- Fyrael (talk) 15:33, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Change "Snakes must liberate hostages" to "Snake must liberate hostages", since the player-controlled character's name is Snake, and there is only one of them. Bmlguy (talk) 04:43, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Please add "This release is still available on GOG.com." or something like that to the section about the Windows version. I want to inform the people who still want to play this game. Is the recently announced Metal Gear Collection also worth mentioning? Sumwun0 (talk) 01:43, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Please remove the line "This requirement renders Special Missions incompatible with PlayStation 2 consoles made before the SCPH-70000 model." at the end of the Integral section. I'm not aware of any evidence that this is actually the case, and in fact, I've found that Special Missions works perfectly fine on my SCPH-50000.

My account isn't old enough to edit this quite yet, but it seems unnecessary to claim that it's one of the most "important" video games ever made (especially without specific citations as to the importance of the game) in the hyperlink to the list of "Best Video Games Ever Made", and simply stating that is "Regarded as one of the best video games ever made" would suffice.
