I remember as an 8-year-old having the MGS demo that came with the PlayStation my parents got me. I remember spending hours running around the heliport and gunning down enemies. Later on, I rented this game once, but only got so far before frustration overtook me (I got to the level with Vulcan Raven in a tank). Now, ten years later, I manage to get my hands on a used copy here at Amazon (I spent about $12.00+4.00 S&H). All I can say is that it's more than worth every penny I spent.
