This is what Sporcle's for.

Also, I think I only know 1. (Meryl's)

141.80 is Otacon's, right?

140.96 is the save frequency in every game, if I'm not mistaken.

So that'd be Mei Ling.

I knew the save immediately, and Campbell is 140.85.

Ashamed to not know the rest.

SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0

my attempt:
141.52 - Meryl
141.12 - Deepthroat
140.96 - Mei Ling
140.85 - Campbell
141.80 - Otacon
140.15 - Master
140.48 - Nastasha

welp, only got Mei Ling and Campbell right, because everyone knows 140.96 from saving and 140.85 from just being the main contact in every game

141.80 is always like the badass support guy. Snake in MGS2, The Boss, Raiden in MGS4

i remember the first time i played the game, right around its release, i rented it and was so confused when i got to the part about calling meryl. they told me the codec frequency was on the back of the cd case, but i didn't have it because i rented it. i had some type of CD in my inventory and was trying to read the back of it for like 6 hours. and this was before stuff like gamefaqs even existed (at least for me).

Yeah they really picked a dumb way to do that one. Same thing happened to me.

I tried to have a fierce rivalry with SuperNiceDog, but he made me look worse than a GameFAQs Contest!

I had a similar experience with Twin Snakes, which was my first MGS1 experience. For that version, they said the Codec frequency was on the back of "the package." I had no idea what package they were talking about. I figure it must be something I had to find, so I ran all around the place trying to find a "package."

Then a thought occurred to me: "Hey, wasn't there a Codec frequency on the back of the case? I'm pretty sure I remember seeing one! Maybe it's the one I'm looking for!"

Literally thought I was cheating by looking it up.

Call it a form of anti-piracy/used

It was meant to let you know this wasn't a regular game.

And prevent piracy, yeah.

So I'm the only one that got Meryl's number right?

That's a shocker.

Got Nastasha and Deepthroat mixed up, but otherwise had them all memorized. I remember forcing myself to memorize Otacon's on my first playthrough, since I was like "he raids the pantry? So, like, free rations? Sweet". Others were just recurring or the Meryl frequency, which I just remember was 140.lownumber

SuperNiceDog? More like SuperChillGuy. Who is better than me at brackets by a mile.

My first time playing MGS1 was in the Complete Collection or whatever it was called, where I'm pretty sure it didn't actually have the frequency on the back of the MGS1 case. My brother knew it from playing the game before though.
