Storyline

Trivia
The script, written by Hideo Kojima, was over 800 pages long.

Goofs
On top of Federal Hall, Solidus tells Raiden that George Washington became the first US president "200 years ago today". Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, but this scene takes place on the same day in 2009 - 220 years later, not 200. This is because Solidus is intentionally rounding the number down, presumably to make his "speech" flow better.

Quotes
Colonel: I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!

Crazy credits
The end credits list the book "In the Darkness of Shadow Moses: The Unofficial Truth" (story in the "Special" section) as actually being written by Nastasha Romanenko.

Alternate versions
The European version has altered at least one line of dialogue in order to convert the measurements to the metric system.

Connections
Edited into Metal Gear 20th Anniversary: Metal Gear Solid Collection (2007)

Who needs Hollywood

If get the chance to play this game, I'm certain you will never need to play another game. This is the defining moment in Video Game History. You will be amazed at all the detail this game has and I'm certain you'll be playing it over and over again. Just make sure that NO-ONE tells you anything about this game beforehand or it might ruin the entire game...be prepared for non-stop action, suspense and video gaming, that would make most Hollywood Action Directors blush.
