It is the Metal Gear Solid PC (Windows) Version (Taiwanese packaging), was made in 2000. You can view a complete photoset.

I am wondering if I should send the registration card out. It’s been 8 years, and MGS1 was only one published by Microsoft, the MGS2 wasn’t and so forth.

Would that like prank if I send out? I still own the rights to get technical support, right? (I never depend on so-called support)

Anyway, this is for my first assignment of Assignment Game. I picked it as first one, not only it’s a game, I meant the game, but also I could possibly use WINE to run it on Linux. I believe that would be easy task for current WINE. This game’s system requirements are:

  • Pentium II 266 MHz
  • Windows 95
  • 32MB Memory
  • 300MB Storage + 100MB Swap
  • 4x CDROM
  • Super VGA 16bit depth
  • Mouse
  • DirectSound 7.0 API

With WINE, it should run easily, I do believe. The only thing that I worry about is if there a copy-protection on the discs. If yes, would that be a problem, even I play with a legit copy. I don’t know the answer yet, but soon I will find out and how I think about this game.

I have a backup plan if WINE doesn’t run it, I can still play it on my Windows XP.
