Pirated video game gameplay

Jeff was actually a KiShin fan, and he still remembered when the SKES came out...

He waited for the SKES and its video games to fall in price before finally buying the SKES and its video games...

At that time, Jeff thought he could finally follow the trend with his friends by owning SKES. However, in just a few months after that, KiShin released their KS1. Only after a month of KS1's release, the KS1 was released in their country, and Jeff felt left behind in the trend once more. It was only when his father bought a KS1 for his birthday that Jeff was really happy and could bond again with his gamer friends. The problem was that his KS1 lacked video games, although there were already dozens of video games available for the KS1 in the market...

After returning home from school, the house felt pretty lonely. His father and mother were both working, and his younger brother was with his mother, who is working in the clothing company as a pattern sewist.

Jeff went into the living room, where the television and the two consoles, KS1 and TSX Fusion, were set up.

As the KS1 was rarely played, the TSX Fusion was the one connected to the television. Jeff disconnected the TSX Fusion from the television and connected the KS1.

After setting that up, Jeff inserted the "Metal Gear Solid I" pirated video game CD into the KS1 CD slot...

After that, the KS1 and KiShin logo intro started, and after that, it was finally the video game animation intro story...

Jeff observed seriously, as it was finally the moment of truth—the gameplay.

He controlled the in-game character, Solid Snake, and after a while, Jeff was pleasantly surprised that the pirated video game indeed worked!

After playing for several minutes, Jeff became a bit worried about the infamous KiShin anti-piracy screen. However, he was somewhat relieved that as he continued to play, there was no anti-piracy message so far. As time passed, Jeff played the video game, and his worries that it might stop working dwindled until they finally disappeared.

Having played for an hour, Jeff's worry was gone, and he felt that he could play the video game all day if not for his parents restricting his gaming time.

Jeff was immersed in playing "Metal Gear Solid I" seriously, focusing on the intense gameplay in the snowy area with the captivating music.

From what Jeff had learned so far about Solid Snake, he was a playboy, flirting with Mei Ling and Meryl, the two hot and beautiful women.

While Jeff was deeply engrossed in completing a mission in the snowy area, he sensed something was not right. The sound effects, such as footsteps and howling wind, seemed to lower in volume, becoming nearly inaudible as if something unusual was happening nearby...

Then, the intense background music that had been playing vigorously faded out...

Jeff was a bit confused, thinking this might be a downside of the pirated video game, but he could still continue playing.

After defeating the tank, the pre-rendered animations of the conversation between Shaman and General Ivan played out.

From the conversation, the in-game character Solid Snake was about to face General Ivan next.

Jeff was already thrilled, and he didn't mind the downside of lowered sound effects and the absence of a music soundtrack.

After the video game loading, Jeff was surprised that the game didn't proceed. Instead, it returned to the moment when in-game Solid Snake was in conversation with Meryl...

"What happened?" Jeff muttered, becoming annoyed as he thought it must be another downside of the pirated video game. So, he spent some time playing through it again.

But, as before, the sound effects and the music soundtrack disappeared over time, and the video game suddenly froze.

"Oh no... Don't tell me the infamous KiShin anti-piracy screen will appear!" Jeff exclaimed, his worries resurfacing.

But then, after the hang, the video game played out again. However, it repeated the scene and conversation of Solid Snake and Meryl.

"It keeps repeating!" Jeff muttered with a hint of irritation.

He went through the conversation of Solid Snake and Meryl again. With Solid Snake flirting and Meryl responding, "Oh, I doubt that..." Jeff wanted the conversation to finish quickly, but Solid Snake and Meryl seemed to stop talking.

Feeling annoyed again, Jeff thought it must be another downside of the pirated video game. As he was about to open the KS1 CD slot to restart the video game, Solid Snake and Meryl spoke at the same time, making it impossible for Jeff not to hear their words.

"Thanks for playing the video game demo! Please buy the original video game from legitimate store distributors to finally be able to play the full video game! Thank you! Sincerely, KiShin Game Developers."

After hearing that with the deep voice of Solid Snake and the soft, captivating voice of Meryl, Jeff's eyes widened.

He completely understood English, which astonished him.

"It... It was the infamous KiShin anti-piracy!"

Jeff couldn't help but exclaim and smile wryly.

To be honest, he wasn't even mad. For KiShin to handle pirated video games like this...

He figured he couldn't complain that much since he was able to play the KS1 video game for at least an hour, right?

At least he confirmed the fact that the latest KiShin video game named "Metal Gear Solid I," hyped as a great video game, was well-deserved.

Jeff guessed the other video games released with "Metal Gear Solid I" to be equally good, as they were also hyped and popular in his country's gaming community.

Even celebrities or famous singers in his country who played video games during their free time praised KiShin's latest KS1 video games.

Initially, Jeff thought it was just KiShin sponsoring those people, but it seems like KiShin was still the good old KiShin in Jeff's impression from the 8-bit and 16-bit video game era...
