Acting as a direct continuation of the MSX2 version of the original Metal Gear, it was written and designed by the series' creator, Hideo Kojima.

We already got Metal Gear 1 on GOG. Would be amazing to have this masterpiece alongside with it so it can complete the MSX collection. Would be a shame if this masterpiece is left out. This is truely where Metal Gear found its niche and identity. It all begins here.
Played through the mainline metal gears a while back, and must say, this one still stick out the most. There is just so much I like about this game and most of what's in this game was remade in the newer ones. This is the OG. Big boss is great in this one! This is a GOG for sure!

I originally played this through Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake was the best among the classic style Metal Gear games. If you thought the franchise gotten great with Metal Gear Solid. You are wrong it started with this one. Metal Gear 2 simply improves over everything from the original. What's crazy is how fast Hideo Kojima went to work making this. Directly following a train ride to work. On the same train was a member of Snake's Revenge team. Kojima delivered the true sequel to the original Metal Gear. You may not get voice overs like most of them. The texts are very well written for their time. The audio as a whole among my favorites in the franchise. Yes this can be a difficult stealth game at times. You also get to experience a very great game making all the times you failed worth it. You get some amazing boss fights especially late into the game. Some great surprises if you can find em. This Metal Gear game was truly ahead of it's time. It's mind blowing it's this damn great!!! I do think Metal Gear 2 could sell well here. Especially Metal Gear fans that never gotten to play this before. They would deeply enjoy playing it.

Mega Man ZXThis game contains elements from the Mega Man X series and the Mega Man Zero series. The game introduces a new open-ended gameplay environment and the ability to select the protagonist's gender, a first in the series. The player's character, Vent or Aile, is on a 2-dimensional overlay map with sprites where he or she engages enemies to finish the mission. When Vent and Aile receive a Biometal, they are able to change form, gaining various abilities, such as the charge moves, or charging their weapon with an element of that Biometal; for example, Biometal H will charge the weapon with electricity. While in a special form, using the form-specific abilities use up weapon energy. When Vent and Aile receive the other half of the Biometal, they are able to perform a different special ability.

Cyberpunk: The Arasaka's PlotCyberpunk: The Arasaka's Plot is a mobile game based on Mike Pondsmith's pen and paper RPG Cyberpunk. The game is a platformer similar to Flashback. The player can walk and run left and right, jump, crouch and climb ledges up and down. When entering combat the player uses a gun at long range or a melee attack at short range. Once enemies have been killed the player can take their armor and other items they might carry. Items that can be found include implants and new weapons. After taking damage, medic kits can be used to restore health. The player can hack various computer terminals he comes across. By doing so it's possible to get access to weapon and stat upgrades and to unlock doors. The player might also come across links to the game's website where more of its back story is revealed. Hacking involves playing a mini game that is similar to QIX. The game has some minor RPG elements although the player's stats increase automatically as he progresses through the game. There are also implants that can be used to give the player an advantage through special abilities.
