Just started a new play through, and haven't played this for a very long time. Anyway, beat Ocelot, got out there, then was searching for a while for Meryl's frequancy, not actually paying attention to where it actually was. Complete and utter fail moment. Anyone else ever experience that? |

Can't say I've ever had a failing moment finding Meryl's codec number. I always had the CD case present with me. Besides, I memorized it. |

That's the thing see, not played in years so couldn't remember off the top of my head AND I was looking at the CD case.  Completely idiotic to be honest, it was right there infront of me yet it took me ages to actually notice it.

Completely understandable. I remember when I first played it; way back when, I didn't get it.

Nowadays I own an original game with case, but when I was younger I had a copy and I didnt knew where the hell to find the code. So I just dailed all the 200(?) possible frequencies hahaha.. |

I'm one of those sad ones that knows it off by heart now. But when I was younger it was my mother that couldn't find it!!

My first time playing MGS1 was on the Essential Collection. For me the code wasn't on the case, but on the box that holds all three games. So basically I was just looking on the back of the case not seeing anything until I found it in the instruction manual. I didn't even notice it was on the box a few months afterwards. |

A fourth wall? What's that? Yeah, I've never owned a copy with an intact back cover to the case, and had to resort to a walkthrough book as punishment for not paying attention myself the first time. But now I pretty much know it by heart, and always have the back of the MGS:TS pack to look at if I forget  I never did get how the characters KNEW how to look through the screen at the cases as a kid XD |

Breaking the Fourth Wall — when fiction acknowledges its fictional status. I remember scratching my head, trying to figure out how to read the back of the CD case... Of the MO Disc Baker gives you in-game. It didn't occur to me until later, after a bag of chips, I believe, and an episode of Xena, that the the goddamn screenshot of Meryl in codec (on the back of the case) was a clue. Totally failed. Ai me... |

I bought the box set with Mgs1 mgs2 and mgs3 and got rid of the box.... tried every number and I guess I skipped it because I had to check every number AGAIN. (Lol Die hard metal gear fans get 140.15 tattooed to their chest) Edited by Big Boss Unit, Jun 18 2009, 01:29 PM.

Holder of the answer to MGSF's greatest secret

lol, I know all codec frequencies by heart, from all the 4 mgs parts. But anyway... the first playtrough I was stumped too. I had a copy, and just like Roxis, I had to dial all the codecs to get it. But even when I got the original copy straight after my first play-trough, I was like 'uuuuhhhhh' when he mentioned the cd-case. This is probably THE most classic fail of every MGS fan

that happen to me 2. see my dad was playing for years so i thought i saw enough to know how to play and yea i beat the first boss in three tries (i was 5) when i got to that part i looked on the case and saw a codec # i thought they were just the product # but after a while i tried the codec # and found the number. it was like 11:00 A.M. so i was really tired so i saved it and died 3 times trying to beat the gas part. |

Yeah, I've experienced it. Kind of emabrassing. When I contacted Colonel Campbell about it, he said to look at the back of the disc and I though he meant the MO disc (or whatever disc you get in game). I had to look it up on the internet what the frequency was. Then I was looking through the MGS booklet and it's in there too. |

I remember them all too. Wooooooooo. When I rang up Campbell and he said 'look at the back of the CD case', I thought he meant the MO disk. I tried equipping it, using it on the computer in the hangar. I didn't realise it was breaking the fourth wall. How silly of me. Actually, I think I accidently realsied it was on the box when I got angry, and started looking at the back of the case. |
