[TAS] NES Metal Gear by dunnius in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/3857M.html. TAS originally published on 2018-12-22.
Metal Gear!? It can't be!
This is the NES port of the first entry in the ever-popular Metal Gear series, created by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami; there are significant differences between it and the original MSX version (tasvideos.org/2974M.html). It is infamous for its engrish (www.engrish.com/), containing such ever-popular phrases as "I FEEL ASLEEP!" and "UH - OH! THE TRUCK HAVE STARTED TO MOVE!".
This run utilizes quite a wide variety of game glitches and collects the minimal set of items needed to complete the game. Additionally, this movie improves the previous movie (tasvideos.org/3233M.html) by 2 frames.

As the man in charge of payroll in Outer Heaven, I can assure viewers that most of the guards will NOT be receiving their paycheques this week.

when you dont have the gas mask so you abuse the pause button

[@BaronYoungOfficial]

ah, the good old days of Metal Gear, when losing your enemies means just leaving the screen

[@RO-wt8mp]

I got this as a kid in 1990 (still have the NES and this cart) and I was this age when I found out you could sneak past the gas rooms with the pause button...

This brings back a lot of memories. Oh boy...

20 min? I couldnt beat this son of a fuck in my whole damn childhood

[@Dylan_thebrand_slayer_Mulveiny]

Snake fucked up the 1 thing he was sent to do. He didn't destroy metal gear.

[@therush420]

You can’t destroy Metal Gear if it isn’t in the game. (Taps side of head)

[@KentRedford213]

I, too, still say "I feel asleep" when I'm tired.

[@user-zc2cn9tr2d]

Amazing music

[@Hau5test]

Having played over 200 hours in the msx version, looking at this nes tas boggles my mind so much. What is this music what is that intro why is he not spotted from any camera oh my god why

[@EddieSpaghetti69]

Because, to paraphrase Kojima, "This is not my boy, I am not the father, they've murdah'd my boy."
Kojima, to make a lengthy novel very short, was *Not Impressed.* The NES is not capable of pushing through the same systems used on the MSX by far, and it shows *in great length* once you've watched a bit of the MSX version compared to the NES.

PS: 21:19 wtf how's that happen?

[@KnakuanaRka]

I think pausing causes the game to lose track of how long until your invulnerability frames run out, so you can use it to extend the invulnerability.

[@HunterPBrown]

​@@KnakuanaRkaactually I was talking about the rank lose. Made my eyebrow raise.

[@the_world555]

this is big boss. infiltrate the enemy fortress, outer heaven, and destroy the final weapon, metal gear

[@subtledemisefox]

I need scissors! 61!

[@bloodlustshiva1]

Dear god, those aren't trucks that are having started to move, those are god damn buildings on wheels. You could fit like 3-4 normal sized trucks inside the back of that thing.

[@DynamicChessScacchiDinamici]

What is this? Anotber different version from the original one? I have the collection and I found it, I didn't know about the existence of another version of Metal Gear 1 😱

[@Gemberland2004]

The truck have started to move lol

[@CplSpider]

Wow, I never knew the series started this far back as a NES game. Cool!

[@Hau5test]

It didn’t, this is just the American team that did a port basically of the Japanese msx 2.0 computer game which released again in 2004 as well with mgs3 and later with mgs3hd. The nes version newer was kojima‘s game

[@AlAensland]

actually it's started as a MSX game

[@9-tailed_Fox814]

I'm not native speaker so I'm not sure...
but the texts from the truck part shouldn't it be "The truck start moving" or something else?

[@XanthinZarda]

I wonder what the story behind the Konami Jingle is?

[@subtledemisefox]

@goggles789 I can't tell if this is serious or a jab at modern Konami lol

[@LukeyMia4]

@@subtledemisefox lmao I wouldn't be surprised. Now it's our turn to throw jabs at Konami. 😂

[@afnankusuma2368]

21:30 can someone explain to me how he skip computer room and just skip to big boss?

[@Fushichou1978]

That's a pretty well known glitch/cheat. As you're entering the room to the computer, as the screen goes black as it's switching rooms, press right. For some reason you'll bypass the whole room and wind up in the final boss room.

[@deniscabrera4114]

I have a problem, after I need yo let myself captured in the truck, i lost before I get the lvl 4 card, and now I dont know how to get to that part, if I enter again in to truck where they trow me to the cell, nobody comes, anyone know?

No, I don't know!

[@dycedargselderbrother5353]

You can move only in cardinal directions. Diagonal movement is simulated by alternating between up and left every other frame.

[@Dylan_thebrand_slayer_Mulveiny]

That pausing BS isn't fooling anyone man. You're clearly using game genie codes for invincibility in the gas/electic/water parts.

[@alemswazzu]

It's a TAS, meaning using cheats/save states to get the fastest possible time.
