Metal Gear Solid (1987)

Metal Gear Solid is the point where it all started for Hideo Kojima. The MSX2 was supposed to be a war game for PC, but the device's capacity prevented it from being an action game like Kojima had initially imagined. He decided to make a military stealth game where the main character of the game is Solid Snake, an agent from the secret military team known as FOXHOUND. Snake's mission was to intercept an armed tank known as Metal Gear that could launch nuclear missiles anywhere in the world.

Originally released for the MSX2 computer in Japan and several European countries, the game sold over one million copies in the US alone, when it was re-released for the NES.

Snatcher

Snatcher is a cult cyberpunk game developed by Hideo Kojima. This was a game that highlighted Hideo Kojima's potential for cinematic perspective. It was about robots that killed and replaced humans in modern society. The English version was not released, probably because Snatcher did not reach the expected sales figures.

P.T.

P.T. is the short version for playable teaser and is a psychological horror game that was created by Kojima Productions. P.T. was an interactive teaser to Silent Hills, an installment of the Silent Hill series. Konami pulled Silent Hills from the PlayStation Store after Silent Hills got canceled. This made it impossible for users to reinstall the P.T. This decision was criticized a lot.

P.T. was praised for its direction, visuals and story complexity. Its supernatural horror tension build received mixed reactions.
