Of course, I got about a third into the game and was told to contact Meryl, whose codec appeared "on the back of the CD case". And so began my hours long search for some CD item in game hoping that it would give me the number I needed to call. I couldn't find it, and I had no instruction manual or anything to refer to, as my game came in a plain white sleeve. Perhaps blame the store for selling a copy of Metal Gear Solid without the case. I couldn't progress and gave up. Didn't even think to check the internet, or whatever existed of it at the time. Flash forward some years later. Twin Snakes comes out, and at some point, after hearing so much rave about this series, I want to try again. So I buy a copy of Twin Snakes, thinking well, maybe I'll just figure it out this time. I got it used. It came in a gamecube case, but it was a plain case. Someone had printed out plain black Times New Roman size 48 text and put it in the case, and that's all it was. Again, I got stuck in the same spot. (in both cases, after taking like an hour to get through that first room of course... a Metal Gear Solid rite of passage). This time I looked up what to do when I got stuck and found sure enough, I was literally supposed to look on the back of the "CD Case" I didn't have. I suppose I could've guessed at each number also! Anyway, I really enjoy stealth gameplay, and this is one of the kings. The story is well done and is just a little bit off the rails but still within the realm of being coherent before Kojima went completely insane, while still having so many of his nice touches. A favorite of course is the Psycho Mantis fight and switching the controller ports and the memory card reading scene, which is something younger me still found awesome. I think the game works better in its Twin Snakes form than the original too (which I did eventually play as intended as well).The characters are well-rounded and memorable. The plot does get a little stock footagey and drawn out, as is MGS, but I think its still a well told game with a lot of heart.
