Konami has announced that its port of the original Metal Gear Solid game is available to play
on the FOMA900i mobile phone series. The original appeared on the little-known MSX2 home computer way back in
1987, and 'broke-ground' with its blend of stealth action. If you've got one of those FOMAs (Japan only, we
think) then you can download or play online for $2.88/month. The game features a time attack mode, where you can
battle the various bosses. There's also at least one goodie in store for those of you who manage to complete the
game. (And no, that's not a screenshot of the game!)

The MSX2 game was called "Metal Gear"
Later, they released "Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake" which was the follow-up to MG1 and the precessor of MGS. Especially MG2 was a revolutionary game.
The MSX computer was very popular in amongst others Japan, Europe and Brazil.
