Metal Gear director Hideo Kojima has reflected on what made the original stealth game so "ahead of its time," 37 years after the game debuted.
July 13 marked 37 years since Metal Gear released on the MSX2 in Japan, and Kojima has done a little bit of reflecting to mark the anniversary. Metal Gear is apparently "packed with things that were ahead of its time," according to the director, who adds that he was just 23 years old when Metal Gear released in Japan in 1987.
