The nes version just doesnt do it justice. After those 2 games just follow it through like normal. Mgs1, mgs2, 3, 4 etc. Im not sure how the psp versions work in the story but maybe someone else can help eith that. I do highly recommend the msx games though. Metal gear 2 is amazing...and mgs1 is pretty much a remake of it. :p

Since a lot of the back story is explained in it. And then work your way up to MGS 2: Sons of Liberty, MGS 3: Snake Eater (even though it doesn't fit the timeline) and then MGS4: Guns of the Patriots.....and then play which ever game is left from the bunch.

It isn't necessary to play Metal Gear 1/2(I don't mean solid I mean the NES game and the MSX). 1. Metal Gear Solid 2. Metal Gear Solid 2 3. Metal Gear Solid 3 4. Metal Gear Portable Ops 5. Metal Gear Solid 4 6. New PSP Metal Gear Game You can play the original Metal Gears wherever you want really. I didn't play them until after 3. Again, they are not necessary, but they are still great old school fun and have a good back story to learn the origins of Solid Snake on some of the other important characters.

I didnt play them until after snake eater either, but when i did i actually felt i understood everything a bit better. Not to mention that they are just great games, metal gear 2 is just amazing. I'd actually consider it a crime not to play it of your a fan of the series. :p
