This was followed with ports to various home computers, such as the PC MS-DOS and Commodore 64. Originally released for the MSX2 in Japan and Europe, the game was later ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System during the same year, although with many significant changes made to the game.
Most of the subsequent games in the series follow this same premise, often changing the characters, locations, and weapons. The game's premise revolves around a special forces operative codenamed Solid Snake who carries out a one-man sneaking mission into the hostile nation of Outer Heaven to destroy Metal Gear, a bipedal walking tank capable of launching nuclear missiles from anywhere in the world. Metal Gear was developed and first published by Konami in 1987 for the MSX2 home computer and was well-received critically and commercially.
Metal Gear ( メタルギア, Metaru Gia ?) is a stealth action game designed by Hideo Kojima.
