So we should also get one.We managed to snatch one from Sierra, what could be so hard?

that's true, although I think the next biggest mountain to overcome after Sierra would be Lucas Arts

yeah or id...

Well, I think Metal Gear Solid would be a fine addition. But I actually remember reading somewhere, that to promote Metal Gear Solid 3, Konami had made Metal Gear Solid free for download on their site or on gamespot or somewhere. No, it wasn't Underdogs. I'm pretty sure Underdogs read this too, and put the game up on its site.

If we get hold of Metal Gear Solid can it please not have the voice and music removed from it like the version on Hotu as the voices do make it far better than without them.

It'd be a lot bigger with the voices intact, but I agree that they're an integral part of the game.

BTW, I can't find any mention of the the PC version being freeware. Shame, as I'd love to play though MGS in FPS mode. Plus, IIRC, the PC version includes the VR missions, which I can no longer play as the Special Missions disc doesn't work on PAL PS2s. Goddam Sony ****ing everything up :ranting:

Metal Gear Solid is not abandoned.

A) Konami never released it as freeware. I don't know where you heard it, but you (or the place you heard it from) are mistaken.
B) The Playstation version is widely available, giving the PC version (which actually includes new features that the PSX version lacks) could hurt sales.

Plus, even if it was, this site could never put up a game so huge without cutting a bunch of it out.

If you want to play it either get it from HUTU (and do without whatever they had to take out of the game ) or buy it. I've seen the PC version in stores many times (in fact I picked it up myself for about $10 a few months ago). And if you have a PSX or a Game cube...well it's certainly very easy to find on those two systems.

Edit: If there is a smilie in this post, I didn't put it there, and frankly have no idea how to get rid of it (computer illiterate).

Another Edit: I think I figured it out, I tried to type "B)" and for whatever reason, the boards replaced it with that little dude.

Last Edit: Fixed.

The smilie appeared because you typed B) , the code for a sunglasses smilie.

If you want to make a post using things like that without having them turned into smilies, uncheck the 'enable emoticons' box by Post Options
