If you're playing the Metal Gear Solid 1 Master Collection edition, please for the love of god make sure you don't pick the PAL version (www.pcgamer.com)

For nostalgia reason, if someone is used to play 50 Hertz. And off course for the language itself (text and voice). I grew up with the PAL version and to me the voices are iconic. So having NTSC and PAL versions is essential in a collection that calls itself "Master" in my opinion. And sometimes PAL games got released as last and may include bug fixes. Can't say for this particular game, but that is something to have in mind. I found these interesting investigations:

The game was dubbed into Spanish (and probably other languages too) in PAL territory. I wonder if playing in said languages is only possible by playing the PAL version.
