[TAS] MSX Metal Gear by dunnius in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2974M
TAS originally published on 2015-10-07
Metal Gear!? It can't be!
This is the original MSX version of the first entry of the ever-popular Metal Gear series of stealth video games created by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami. In this game, Snake infiltrates Outer Heaven, a fortified state founded by a "legendary mercenary" 200 km north of Galzburg, South Africa, in an operation codenamed Intrude N313. He must find out what happened to Gray Fox, after losing contact with FOXHOUND.
In this movie, however, dunnius ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/d... ) isn't very stealthy at all; he goes through numerous alerts in order to reach a time of 26 minutes and 28.05 seconds.

The Music bangs for this game daayuumm

[@latsblaster]

There are different cool things in booth versions. Here Big Boss just takes 4 hits instead of 10. 12 Rations and 250 rounds for hand gun can be quite OP in NES-version.

Good job! Now let's wait for the TAS of the sequel (Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake)

13:42 damn, Konami was ahead of their time with music patterns sounding like a breakbeat or something

[@michaelalameda2002]

Personally, the Phantom Pain somewhat set up an event for this.

Bruh you hella wild lol great job!! Would love to see how fast you could do a big boss run

[@Garcia1995]

Fun fact: There is no big boss rank on the original msx games.

[@Stevesndkayla218]

What’s the point of saving multiple times in a row on certain screens.

[@Atlink]

Most likely resets items due to a glitch, meaning you can pick up certain things over and over, or puts Snake in a permanent invincibility. Just assuming.

[@kazerushly]

lol that ladder at the end

[@robertgijsen]

hehe, I actually reported that bug at www.msx.org/forum/msx-talk/software-and-gaming/bug-metal-gear-final-stairs?page=0, at that time it seemed a rather unknown bug.
Great game even to this day.

[@Metaldetectiontubeworldwide]

epic!!

[@NaturalTvventy]

So many blind guards

[@jerppursh7570]

they're worse on the nes

[@Ultrarks]

Big boss disappears so soon...

[@donnaken15]

1:07 Knock knock LOL

[@Atombender]

Why isn't there boss music when you're fighting the Arnolds? Why aren't you hurt by electric floors? Why can you use the ladder on the right to escape?

[@trashycannoey]

oh he used a glitch to progress

[@coronapapi]

lol Solid Snake can punch through walls

[@SonJazrin]

*"I feel asleep!"*

Whats the difference between a tas and a speedrun.

[@ReijiArisu1211]

TAS uses emulators, frame by frame, save states and luck manipulation via memory access to have the best result possible. It take a year or more to achieve a TAS since you play frame by frame and reload saves if you don't get the result you want. A Speedrun is someone who plays with a controller, learn the game by himself and play as fast as possible. Both TAS ans Speedrun uses glitches and bugs to achieves the fastest times.
However the ultimate rule is that the game MUST not be modified or hacked in anyway. It must be the original or you risk of having your run judged invalid.
