After being largely absent from the gaming landscape in the last several years, Metal Gear Solid is expected to make a return of some kind as part of the upcoming PlayStation Showcase on May 24. While the prevailing thought is that the return of the franchise will happen through a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, there are also signs that point to the possibility of the entire Metal Gear Solid series coming to PlayStation thanks to a rumored partnership with Konami. If Metal Gear is indeed going to be making a resurgence on modern hardware, it would be a mistake to ignore the series' original entries on the MSX home computer.
