Metal Gear Solid from their recent Master Collection, Volume 1. Played mostly via Steam Link and a little bit on Steam Deck. This was playing through the Japanese version (it has pretty much every version included). At this moment I think Snake's saying "that takes care of the cremation."

Here's a bonus screenshot of how this collection handles the games swap to disc 2. It does a disc flip animation showing one disc exiting and another inserting. I liked it.

And here's Johnny freaking out in Japanese.

I remember playing MGS as a kid and thinking "graphics will never get better than this".

It didn't age well, but I still think of it as one of the most witchcraft-powered games I've ever played. I still can't believe that they were able to craft such gorgeous environments and fluid, cinematic cutscenes on the PS1.

To his day, it's still one of my favourite games ever.

I said the same thing about Daytona USA. When I booted up a GameCube for the first time and saw PSO I was amazed, although the GC was closer hardware wise to the Dreamcast, which we had.

Grass? Trees? BIRDS?! I remember the grass in Oblivion melting dual GPU setups back in the day.
