Does anyone know of a legal way to play the original Metal Gears 1+2? And that means besides buying a MSX or MGS3: Subsistence (currently going for £300 new from one seller on Amazon UK). Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Metal Gear Question
Isn't there a collection pack that has MGS 1-3? One of my friends bought it last year for the PS2.
Edit: Something like this?

Edit: Plus it isn't the Subsistence version, despite what it says.

Well if you are referring to the original Metal Gear games produced my Kojima himself, then your options are very limited, either get yourself an MSX and Metal Gear/ Metal Gear 2: Solid snake, or download them. Also, I was not aware that the special edition MGS3 had those games.
Looking quickly on the American Amazon, there's a used copy for $15. You really don't have any cheaper copies across the pond?

Why would MGS3:S be going for so much? I suppose you could import it, it's certainly not rare in the States.

"I think it's because of the original Metal Gear games being on them, can't think of any other reason. You can get a second copy for £40+ but I've already got MGS3 and can't be bothered splashing out for 2 ancient games.
" @Metal_Gear_Sunny: Yeah I'm referring to the original Metal Gears, on the MSX 2. "oh shit. I'm an idiot.

.....I don't know any way to play the original games other than the ways that you listed. Sorry. Just felt like clarifying the bit about the Collection.
Wow that is quite an amount of money for it! £300?? Holy crap.
Hmmm... have you looked on eBay? Although if Amazon UK has prices like that, then I'd say eBay would be even more sometimes.

It's pretty easy, you just have to have like 20 minutes worth of patience. And it's been fan-translated.
But oh wells, we wouldn't want that sort of illegal activity, now do we?
Seeing as those two games are pretty much better than anything that came after Metal Gear Solid 2, it's worth paying ~$60 for them.
