Metal Gear Acid (also spelled Ac!d; commonly abbreviated as MGA) is a video game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan for the PlayStation Portable handheld game console. It is part of the Metal Gear series, and was first unveiled at Eł 2004 in May. It was released in Japan on December 16, 2004, and in North America on March 22, 2005.
While the Metal Gear series, despite being stealth-based, has always had a heavy influence of action, Metal Gear Acid is not action-oriented, but focuses on turn-based strategy (this is possibly why the game's logo lacks the "Tactical Espionage Action" tagline featured on all of the Metal Gear Solid games). It uses a trading card-based system to control the main character's movements and actions.
Metal Gear Acid is a "side-story" and not part of the series' main storyline (similar to the earlier Metal Gear: Ghost Babel). While the game features an all-new cast, card sets are availble which features characters, weapons and items from each of the previously-released Metal Gear Solid titles, as well as a "Chronicle" set which covers Snatcher, Policenauts, Boktai, Zone of the Enders, Metal Gear: Ghost Babel and Metal Gear 1 and 2) are depicted on the cards used by the player.
