METAL GEAR SOLID 1 Walkthrough
By Hollow Snake
This guide is created for new players without spoiling the story, and only basic info and secrets are given.

My goal is to make this short and succinct as a reference so that the new players can enjoy and focus more on the game and its story. Additionally, please let me know if there is any missing event/ secret in the game.

I would recommend the new players to play the INTEGRAL version, which has better SFX and extra stuffs. The only downside is that it only has JAPANESE descriptions. Also, check the Online Manual before playing, as it covers techniques that the game won't tell you, such as Running Aim or Leaning.
