Metal Gear NES Walkthrough or help

In Metal Gear

Playing Metal Gear right now and I am stuck. I forget what building I just entered, but Big Boss just told me to go into the room on the left. When I do, the floor opens up and I die. So I tried to go up, and then that floor opens up and I die. Any ideas?


Hmmm... maybe Big Boss is confused? Or maybe there's a different "reason". Just keep playing.


If you're fast enough, you should be able to outrun the pits in that room. Stay close to the edge and move quickly around the corners.

You have to take the upper route. When you do, watch your step because there are about three or four pits that you need to avoid. Just be sure to hug the crates on the first one... after that I really don't remember too well, just don't fall in a pit

Yea, that's what I've been trying. The second pit is the one that keeps getting me. I didn't know if there was an item I forgot to get or what. I'll keep trying to avoid it. Thanks.

Except that the MSX version is insanely frustrating (having to redo an entire floor after dieing at an unsuspecting part is just lame).

The overall gaming experience is pretty much the same on both versions.
The MSX is the true 'Metal Gear' though. It has a better "ending" and boss fights.
The NES version has the better "beginning" and music (IMO).
