Gametrailers has put out a couple of videos charting the history of the Metal Gear franchise called Metal Gear Retrospective.

You can see the young, spritely Snake way back in the late eighties and early nineties on the MSX, all the way up until the white-haired, cigarette smoking hero of today's MGS4.

We watched them both and we loved them. More stuff like this please, GT.

Watch parts one and two through the link. There are going to be additional episodes, apparently.

Patrick Garratt is a games media legend - and not just by reputation. He was named as such in the UK's 'Games Media Awards', the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award. After garnering experience on countless gaming magazines, he joined Eurogamer and later split from that brand to create VG247, putting the site on the map with fast, 24-hour a day coverage, and assembling the site's earliest editorial teams. He retired from VG247, and the games industry, in 2017.
