Metal Gear Solid
Tactical Espionage Action
Sony PlayStation PS1
Note: Includes the SIlent Hill Demo
Metal Gear Solid for PS1 is a sequel to Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. After the tragic confrontation with Big Boss, the hero, special agent Solid Snake, decided to retire and has since then lived in a secluded region in Alaska. But the US government recruits him once again for a dangerous mission. The members of Foxhound, a renegade special forces unit, threaten to use a devastating nuclear weapon if the government doesn't hand them the mortal remains of Big Boss, their former commander. Foxhound is now led by a talented, ambitious young man with the codename Liquid Snake.
The gameplay in Metal Gear Solid follows the prototype established in the two earlier Metal Gear games. Solid Snake has a limited arsenal of weapons and cannot allow himself to pave his way to the goal by killing all the enemies. He has to stay unnoticed, hide, crawl, wait for the right moment, sneak, and use various gadgets that will prevent him from alerting the enemy. Boss battles and some other sequences are played out as action-oriented set pieces, with the player having to figure out the weakness of the enemy in order to succeed.
The game utilizes traditional top-down view, but the graphics in this installment are real 3D. Conversations with Snake's allies and cutscenes are used extensively to advance the plot and gain more insight into it.

Grading
Please Note: Every disc is tested and guaranteed to work, with professional resurfacing applied where needed. Excellent and Very Good grades both include the Original Jewel Case, Front Booklet/Manual, Back Cover Inlay, and Game Disc. Our Excellent grade is our best available, not "as new" — if you're after a pristine, professionally graded copy, we'd recommend sourcing that through a dedicated grading service instead.
| Grade | What's Included | Case & Disc Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | Disc + Original Jewel Case + Booklet + Back Inlay | Our best available grade. Hinges operational. Case may show small cracks, light scuffing, minor marks, or the odd retail sticker — we mix and match the best plastics we have, but this isn't a mint or graded copy. Booklet is in top shape overall, with minimal dog-ears or creasing and no tears; may occasionally show faint watermarking on the white reverse side. |
| Very Good | Disc + Original Jewel Case + Booklet + Back Inlay | Our standard pre-owned grade. Case may show heavier cracking, scuffs, chips, stress marks, broken hinges, or old retail sticker residue. Booklet is fully complete but shows more noticeable wear than an Excellent copy — dog-ears, creasing, and more prevalent watermarking on the white reverse side are all expected. |
| Good | Disc + Case (NO MANUAL / BOOKLET) |
The players' copy. Comes with the original jewel case — front and rear artwork inlays may be included, but aren't guaranteed at this grade. Expect the case plastic to typically be cracked or broken; it's done its job protecting the disc, just not going to win any beauty contests. Disc is fully tested and working. Perfect if you just want to play the game and aren't precious about how the case looks. |
| Disc only | Game Disc Only (NO CASE / NO BOOKLET) |
Our budget option. Disc only, no case, booklet, or rear inlay. Shipped securely in a protective sleeve inside a rigid mailer. |
