Poll: Metal Gear Solid- Still worth getting?

[Enigmers]

I have the first three MGS games and they're outstanding.

Follow it from the start, and you should be okay.

Oh God, don't say that, he'll have to buy a MSX!

I never understand this concept of games "ageing" = making them unplayable.

They're still exactly the same game as when they were released, and were playable then, why wouldn't they be playable now?

What is it with gamers these days just wanting all the newest games with "t3h bezt grafix!!!1111"?

What better reason?

If you don't wanna go and get one o' them, you can read up on Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 on the MGS Database.
Start with Solid 1.
