Episode 22

Metal Gear essentially invented the entire stealth genre! If you enjoy games like Thief, Dishonored, Splinter Cell, or even Resident Evil, you have Metal Gear to thank for pioneering that type of game play!

Metal Gear was originally designed for the MSX2 computer system, but it would have never become such a popular game series if it wasn't ported to the NES.

So what changed from the MSX version to the one on the NES? How did they get the idea to make a stealth game? And why did Konami have it published by Ultra Games instead of just publishing it themselves? I'll reveal all of that in today's video!

We'll also be doing a deep dive on the original NES game. We'll learn:

Where to find EVERY Weapon and Item!

A SECRET trick to pick up multiple items quickly!

A NEW route through the game that reduces backtracking and avoids the most dangerous areas!

How to defeat EVERY boss!

A SECRET for skipping several bosses, including one of the last ones!

The location of EVERY HOSTAGE, even the fake Dr. Pettrovich!

How to EXPLOIT the truck network to easily get around the game!

All about the STAR RANKING system - How to gain ranks fast, and what those ranks do!

The hidden path through the game's JUNGLE MAZES... AND MORE!

Thanks for watching!
