We look back at Metal Gear (1987) and the early career of its creator, Hideo Kojima. As part of our discussion, we look at the development of Metal Gear, and what inspired it. Afterwards, we'll share some reviews from some not-so-big fans of the game. Finally, we'll talk about what Metal Gear did for the stealth genre, and the rest of its legacy.
