Encapsulated and graded 9.4 with a “First-Party H-Seam” seal rating of A+ by WATA Games. Offered here is a sealed and graded copy of "Metal Gear" developed by Konami and published by Ultra Games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The action-adventure game that helped popularize the stealth game genre was released in North America in 1988. The game features Solid Snake, an operative working with the special forces unit FOXHOUND, who infiltrates Outer Heaven to destroy Metal Gear, a bipedal tank with nuclear capabilities, while rescuing FOXHOUND operatives. The game that launched the "Metal Gear" franchise was directed by the legendary Hideo Kojima and sold 1 million units in the United States.
This presented copy features a round Nintendo "Seal of Quality" and a "REV-A" label and a "USA Code" on the box, all indicators that this copy was produced between January 1988 and March 1989. This early production run of the game that helped launch the stealth genre comes with the excellent seal grade of A+ with an overall box grade of 9.4 that is highly coveted by collectors of video games in general and fans of "Metal Gear" in particular.
