What is METAL GEAR & METAL GEAR 2: Solid Snake?
These two top-down stealth-action games center on infiltrating enemy territory without being spotted. You move through guarded areas while avoiding combat; in the second game, Snake can crouch, lure guards by tapping walls, and use radar to locate enemies. Its story explores Big Boss's motives.
