Metal Gear radio conversations

The Transceiver Mode in Metal Gear.

This article is a list of the radio conversations in Metal Gear. Unlike subsequent games in the series, excluding Snake's Revenge, the conversations in this game are completely room oriented and one-sided. In addition, the conversations are also extremely limited in nature, unlike in future games where they give direct details about things pertaining to the mission, as well as give some background and miscellaneous information.
