Metal Gear – Original NES Video Game Soundtrack 10″

Mondo is proud to present the premiere physical release of the soundtrack to the 1988 NES version of the classic game that started it all: METAL GEAR.

Retroactively considered unofficial by both the game’s creator and fans, the American release of METAL GEAR is one of the few black sheep of this legacy franchise. However, for many this was the entry point to one of the most essential game series of all time. Due to the technical limitations of the system itself, the soundtrack to the NES version differs significantly from the MSX2 version, making it a unique, if flawed, departure from the developers original intent.

This premiere physical release of the soundtrack is cut at 45RPM, and features all new original artwork by Paul Mann that pays tribute to the 80’s action films that inspired the game. This limited edition release is pressed on heavyweight split colored vinyl, and strictly limited to 1,000 copies.
