First making its way to Japan before arriving in different territories, the expanded edition of Metal Gear Solid offers plenty of different tweaks and customisation options that make the decision of which version to play that little bit more complicated.
Since Integral is set to feature in the new Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection, it's useful to know what exactly Konami has added and, in some cases, changed.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection belongs in a museum
In August, Konami announced that it would be celebrating the Metal Gear Solid series’ anniversary with a series of ports. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 would bring games that were previously unavailable on modern consoles and PC to a new generation of players. The collection, which was released on Oct. 24, has provided something more than that: It’s made games available that were otherwise inaccessible without older hardware, extremely expensive physical editions, or emulation. It allows players to own these games without fear of them being delisted or vanishing.

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
Konami has fixed one of the more glaring issues with the Master Collection version of Metal Gear Solid 1. When the game hit Steam three days ago, players were supposed to be able to download different language packs—Japanese, US English and what-have-you—via the game's launcher. Unfortunately, the relevant Steam pages were inexplicably AWOL, making international versions of the game inaccessible.
