Konami released the first Metal Gear on July 13, 1987. Created by Hideo Kojima, the stealth game came out on the MSX2 computer and went on to spawn a successful and beloved franchise. Today, fans are saying thanks.

Under the hashtag #MG30th and #メタルギア30周年 (or “Metal Gear 30th Anniversary”), Twitter users have been uploading photos, art, memories and comments. Some of them have even been retweeted by Kojima.
