![]() Here is where the next Memory Card moment occurs. Confused yet? Yeah, I know, it’s a Metal Gear Solid game, what can you do?Īnyway, after some pretty memorable sequences unto themselves, Snake is finally reunited with Meryl after, well, recognizing her “assets.” Following a sexual tension filled conversation, the two decide to make their way further into the facility. Snake’s Codec companions inform Snake that the enigmatic vision must have been that of Psycho Mantis, one of the members of FOXHOUND, run by the evil Liquid Snake, Solid Snake’s brother and the main antagonist of the game. Snake, obviously confused about what he sees, finds comfort in his Codec to find out more about Meryl and the mysterious hovering figure. Before he can realize what is going on, the man creepily mutters something about Meryl being a “good girl” and disappears into thin air. During this escape, Snake experiences a quick glimpse of a strange, floating man clad in a gas mask and full body gear. It turns out that she is the niece of Roy Campbell, Snake’s former commanding officer.Īfter this brief introduction you and Meryl are separated during a bloody escape from the base prison. Not so long after the opening sequence you meet up with a girl by the name of Meryl. The first part of your adventure is filled with loads of stealth missions, gun battles, and over-the-top cinematics (all common to the Metal Gear Solid universe). This time, the game’s mission sends Snake to a huge nuclear weapons disposal facility in Alaska, dubbed Shadow Moses. In Metal Gear Solid you play as everyone’s favorite infiltrator Solid Snake. One moment, in particular, stands out above the rest due to some of the most creative and, frankly, coolest techniques ever used in a video game. Metal Gear Solid is the perfect example of a game made all the more memorable due to its leaps in technology. Once (good) designers get their hands on a “next-generation” console and all the bells and whistles that come with it, well, the sky’s the limit. Most of the time this is because of creative game design, but sometimes it can be attributed to new technology. Nothing is more exciting than experiencing something you have never seen before in a video game. In fact, I may go so far as to say some of the most amazing moments in video game history are memorable based on innovation alone. It is a vital building block, sure, but sometimes it is just the innovation of the gameplay itself that makes a moment unforgettable. What makes a video game moment memorable? Well, in the case of the last two Memory Card inductees it was the story twists and emotional heart-tugging sequences that helped seal them in the memories of gamers everywhere.īut sometimes story doesn’t always matter. ![]()
