If someone would ask me what the greatest game of all time would be, I'd reply Metal Gear Solid 1 without stuttering or thinking twice.

This game is a masterpiece. A timeless classic. This is the foundation that set the standard for the video game industry. It's an historic piece of gaming history that needs to be cherished and appreciated. There are no amount of words that I can say that will fully mirror and express the love and passion I have towards this piece of media.

I first experienced this game at a really young age and used to watch my older siblings playing it on the PlayStation 1 console and an old CRT television.
Back then as a young child I can't say the game had a profound effect on me, I was too young to understand but I still cherished the memories of being glued to the screen just observing and bonding with my siblings.
It was only when years later as a teenager that I revisited it and experienced it for myself that I truly saw it for what it was. This experience allowed me to enlighten myself with the concepts that the game portrayed and the depth of the story and its characters.

It's an emotional roller coaster, an amazing thrill ride from start to finish. I cherish this game so much that I have the original CD's and CD case in a frame on display for decoration purposes in my home. It holds a very special place in my heart. The more distance from the original release we get, the more special it becomes. It's mind blowing that this game released in 1998.
