MGS 1 tips?

[76561198120533280]

I have started playing MGS 1 from 1998 on PC and so far i have been liking it, and it runs quite smoothly, but i am confused by some things. In MGS V, you can knock out an enemy and they will stay down for a long time, unless another hostile finds them, but in MGS1 it seems knocked out guards stay down only temporarily? Also how to obtain a weapon? I am at the very beginning in the tank hangar

One more thing i hate. The saving system. MGS V had quite a few bad checkpoints were i lost a lot of progress but MGS 1 is a whole new level of bad. You can't save right before a cutscene/boss fight starts, when you die you have to go all the way from the last checkpoint over again

Ok i think i have figured it out. The saves are connected to the level you are at. So of you try to save the game in a slot not connected to the are you are in it won't work.

Yeah, I had the Nintendo Cartridges. Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge. Never played either MSX version though. Snake's revenge is different from MG 2 as far as I know.

SO you meant MG 1 and MG 2. Solid is a Playstation spin off.

All right, I just finished MGS 1 and there's a massive thinge I don't get. Why did the pentagon want to take out Kenneth Baker?

Everything else makes perfect sense.

I am in a cave (past the Psycho mantis fight) and i do not have night vision goggles. Should i reload a save just to get them or is it possible to get past that instance without them

You can go get the NVG or just follow my direction, I've played MGS1 so many times that I remember the map layout by heart.
After going through the first crawlhole, go right until you come across a wall, there are two different crawl holes here, one in the Northeast of your screen and the other on the Southeast of the screen.

Northeast crawlhole is your main objective which reunites you with Meryl. The other hole is a dead end but there's a bunch of useful items, one of which is Diazepam, which comes in useful later on. Watch out for the wolves. Btw you can just increase your brightness and you'll be able to see just fine without NVG.
