I actually prefer Metallicas version of Astronomy but I do understand the nostalgia level of BOCs.

No nostalgia involved. I hadn't heard this version until it was nominated here and I didn't hear Metalica's until your writeup, which wasn't too long after... think I'd only heard the BOC version twice at that point. I also have no particular nostalgia for the band themselves; I've only heard three other songs of theirs ( (Don't Fear) The Reaper, Burning' For You, and Godzilla ; the latter only from Guitar Hero and IIRC that was a cover version anyway).

I never finished Portable Ops. I made a brief attempt at it when it was new, but quit after the first boss--some ice guy whose name I can't be bothered to remember. Ice Guy became a playable character afterwards, but was so much weaker than when he was a boss that it was almost comical, and I just quit there.

When Peace Walker came out and dismissed all of Portable Ops in one line of dialogue, I felt validated in my choice to not continue with the game.

Now, I'm thinking I should try it again. Any game with a song this good can't be all bad. And after everything between Kojima & Konami, it's not like there's going to be any more actual Metal Gear games, so this is about all I have left.

...well I haven't played Ghost Babel yet, though I've heard good things about it. And several other spin-offs, I suppose. Never finished either Acid game or Revengeance, but those aren't really traditional enough to scratch the Metal Gear itch.
