Awesome, this should be a fun one!

@pc98audi.bsky.social, for the special mention on X2 during the last DF Retro SuperShow; always rare to hear comments on this gem of a game!

Blue Prince? 🙂

From the more recent multi-platform releases, curious about Silent Hill f and Final Fantasy Tactics (very different audiences but want to see if there is a trend)

Ah, didn’t know that! Yeah, I was surprised that the PAL version wasn’t running at 50 Hz

Looks fantastic, can’t wait!

Hi @takiudon.bsky.social, really excited about my preorder! Can you confirm if the SuperStation and dock will be able to play PAL region games with the correct 50 Hz output? Have a decent collection of European PS1 discs. Thanks!

Already feeling the nostalgia on the PS2 episode. I truly cannot wait 😊

I want this 😅

Fun fact (and spoiler warning for the photo!), the review had two full pages spoiling the entire game. I’m fairly confident nowadays no publisher would allow that 😅

A couple of months later, the game would see its full European release and later in the Fall the Special Missions disc became available, with a ton of extra VR missions and a segment with a fully playable Gray Fox. Special Missions was essentially an expansion pack and it required the original game.

Otherwise, the review had some great screenshots of the game and a nice overview of the cast.

In this same issue, the game was also reviewed - receiving a 10/10 - and described as a genre-defining masterpiece. No game up until this point demonstrated the cinematic quality that MGS did.

Months later, the Official UK PSM had a special issue with its now iconic cover of Yoji Shinkawa’s cyborg ninja and a lengthier demo of MGS1, now with full English voice acting.

The demo was essentially based on the one demonstrated at E3 and still had the Japanese voice track although with English subtitles
