https://youtu.be/UK-mX7QBsC4?t=1m13s - Policenauts is one of the games he can read off a memory card, but only in the Japanese version.

There are two direct references to Hideo Kojima's previous game, Policenauts, in the game. In Hal's lab where you first fight Gray Fox, there is a Policenauts poster on the northern wall. When talking to Otacon, he begins to express his love for japanese animation and robots, showing footage from Policenauts as well.
In the Japanese version of the game, if the player has save data from Policenauts, Psycho Mantis will comment on it.

Twin Snakes ver;
There are references to the game Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, which Hideo Kojima also worked on. In Hal's lab, on the northern wall there is a Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner poster. This replaces the Policenauts poster for the Playstation version of Metal Gear Solid. The following cutscene with Otacon in which he expresses his love for japanese animation and robots will play footage from Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner as well. This also replaces a Policenauts nod from the Playstation version of Metal gear Solid.
