one of the best gameboy games. actually worth playing imo.
it's not canon tho, it's an alternate universe where Metal Gear 2 never happened.
So, what's the best version of Metal Gear Solid?

for all we know, konamis mgs1 remake is just going to be virtuous slapping pretty new graphics onto twin snakes

You should also experience Twin Snakes, at least if just to see what a "modern" take on an all-time classic looks like...and if the (untoward) hate is justified or not.

Even with the implementation of improved graphics and gameplay, they removed an important aspect in twin snakes compared to
The original: the soundtrack and the tone.
The original felt more emotional and the soundtrack played a big part of it.
So yeah, avoid twin snakes and get the original with duckstation.

I absolutely love original MGS1 game, it is pretty much my favorite game of all time, but it is dumb to plain avoid / ignore TTS, which is a great remake, game, and experience in its own right.
It is same, yet different enough from original version that it is definitely one of the best games of 2000s.

The soundtrack in Twin Snakes is genuinely disgusting, the Sniper Wolf scene is so bad in comparison it's embarrassing. And the boss music, like what the fuck were they thinking.

The cube version was completely rebuilt from scratch and re-mocapped with Kojima's input and is the only one worth playing now from a technical standpoint as holding up as a modern game IMO, but only after you've experienced it fully on PlayStation first - because as others have said the tone of the game changes with Nintendo's little additions that are only easy to ignore, later if you have a reference experience without them.

Exactly.
Pick up MGS1 on console of choice and enjoy the trophies. Gives an extra layer of things to chase.

She was "cute" (for the time) but once they decided to expand her character it was way too stereotypical and the change was welcomed by most

ppl hate on twin snakes but I really like it. Metal gear is about ridiculous spectacle, and the over the top cutscenes in twinsnakes are as metal gear as it gets

Gotta play it with the original PSX graphics. The art style sets the whole tone of the game imo, and there's nothing else like it. Such a cinematic tour de force when it released and a defining moment in gaming history, and it still stands up today

Laugh all you want of this version. It was actually very immersive. And the stealth worked perfectly fine in NES 2D.

Man I loved this game back in the day. It was really impressive on GBC. I had a friend who also owned it and we would play competitive multiplayer via link cable. Good times.

If Solid Snake could do what he could on Twins Snakes there would be no part 4. Or nanonmachines, hell it would've ended in the opening of Part 2.

The original Playstation version on PS1 hardware with the dual shock controller and Castlevania SOTN, Suikoden and other Konami games saved on the memory card. That's how I played the game originally.... Or alternatively.. Metal Gear Solid: Integral. I also had the GameBoy Color Game, which is a completely different game.. I mean, I think it is an alternate story take on Metal Gear Solid... but it is a completely different game.

The best metal gear is in my opinion MGS3, the story and the gameplay are great
My recommendation is that you wait for mgs3 delta and start from there with the franchise
MGS5 is fantastic too, it has one of the best gameplays in the videogame space, but the story is not that great unfortunately.

I found it fiddly and unexciting for the first hour or so and dropped playing both my ps2 and 3ds copies.
Am I incredibly wrong? I have been eyeing up the switch mgs collection (despite owning two copies of each 3d game :-/).

Best version of every single entry bar MGSV is the Playstation version without a doubt. Only platform to get the original release, as well as the mist content in all expanded versions. Its not a debate.
And Twin Snakes is dogshit, avoid like the plague

Here to also state, stay away from Twin Snakes. The GBC one is better. No joke

Negative. They destroyed the OST, made the cut scenes way more cringe, and Jesus Christ that GC controller was horrid to play a MGS game with.

It certainly seems like it. The voice changes are barely noticeable and the cutscenes are of the time.. plus its not exactly ridiculous compared to what came after...
The psx did constrain things and I love the colours and blockyness of the original... if you were around at the time that epicness has matured to charming but it doesn't make twin snakes a bad take automatically... infact I would say overall for new people it is probably a great place to enter the franchise.

I remember liking the grey fox stuff more in the twin snakes, but being sad that the music didn't hit the same towards the end. The ps1 music was so good.

I watched a YouTube video from 9yrs ago today that showed how to mod the psx soundtrack into Twin Snakes. If they could restore the colouring (especially the Vulcan Raven area) and give choice of soundtrack Konami would be 70% to a great definitive edition. The fps gun mode would also need some balancing to be fair.

Just get the Master Collection Version on PC. They've fixed most of the issues with it, and there's a mods for widescreen support and custom resolutions.
Duckstation is awesome too don't get me wrong, but if you're planning on playing all of these games, you might as well buy the collection and support Konami in the process. Play MGS1 and 2 before MGS3 Delta drops then play that one. B)

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is a ridiculous reinterpretation of a classic masterpiece.
With over-the-top action scenes like Snake backflipping off walls and landing on a launched missile, it turns the tense and grounded tone of the original into something comically absurd.
What was once a masterpiece of stealth and atmosphere is overshadowed by exaggerated, almost cartoonish spectacle. It's as if the game forgot it was supposed to be a suspenseful stealth experience and decided to audition for a circus instead.
So, do yourself a favor and stay away from it.

The original had a levitating mind reader, cyber ninja and giant mechs. Yes it had less ott scenes than twin snakes, but it was still about as mature as a comic book.

And with Snake running around fighting nuclear tanks and superpowered metahumans on his feet. While being considered one of the greatest warriors in human history. I have no qualm with him being portrayed as a peak human comicbook character like Batman, Grendel, Daredevil, Nightwing, Lady Shiva or Batgirl(Cassandra Cain) who display what we would consider superhuman levels of strength, agility, and reflexes.
