@geraltitude: Ya, I was originally just going to play the MSX ones because I've never played those, but playing them- the mechanics are strangely, basically, the same only in 2d form. It's reminded that I actually really like MGS a lot (yes, I actually forgot how much I like this series). I may actually play all of them again now (and 4 which I haven't played before... and I may actually get 5 now which I wasn't even considering before)- so my back log is gonna have to suffer for a little while longer.

Totally worth it so far. I finished the first one a couple days ago. Going to start on MG2 probably tomorrow.

So... thanks Dan, haha. I have more games I feel the need to play.

That also makes me randomly think of: I don't know if anyone remembers this, but there was a short period of time when MGS and Splinter Cell were in pseudo competition with each other. I don't remember which, but one of them references the other in a playful sort of derision. God it's been a long time since that. I may end up playing the first 3 Splinter Cell games again, too.

I've fallen into a nostalgia hole! AAAAAHHHHH!!!
