Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Solid is a landmark 1998 action-adventure stealth game developed and published by Konami, directed by Hideo Kojima. Players control Solid Snake infiltrating a nuclear weapons facility to neutralise a renegade special forces unit, across a game celebrated for its cinematic presentation, voice acting, and innovative stealth gameplay. Ten PAL variants have been catalogued across France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK, spanning Original, Platinum, and Special Bundle release types. Original pressings are housed in Multiway Jewel Three Disk cases on two discs with Hologram A on the case, while Platinum reissues use the slimmer Multiway Jewel Two Disk case with Hologram B. A significant Special Bundle for the UK is documented as a limited edition premium package including a t-shirt, dog tags, stickers, and a poster in a silver box. Another Special Bundle, the Metal Gear Solid Platinum and Special Missions Pack, combines three discs in a two-disk case. Documented loose paperwork includes Konami catalogues, registration cards, and a Silent Hill poster, while a Silent Hill demo disc was bundled with several original pressings. Metal Gear Solid is one of the most significant PAL PlayStation releases and commands strong collector interest across all its variant tiers.
