Metal Gear Solid 1 – Finding Meryl’s Codec Number
As part of an anti-piracy measure, Konami included a unique fourth wall breaking gameplay feature in the original Metal Gear Solid. Early in the game, you had to call Meryl over codec, but you’re never told what it is. Campbell will call you, and tell you the only way you can get her number was by looking on the back of the CD case that came with the game. Of course, if you obtained your copy legally that happened to come without the case or with a different case, you had to call every possible number in game, which is what happened to me.
