It's best to play the original PS1 MGS and then the Twin Snakes version.
There are many reasons to why the original is the preferred version, I don't mind Twin Snakes but it's not a good on to start off on.
Also, this may sound like a bad idea but if the first game isn't hooking you, play the second and try to play them. I started on the second game and then the third. I didn't understand the beginning of MGS2 but it didn't matter since you played as Raiden for 95% of it.
It's just a suggestion, I doubt I would've enjoyed MGS1 if I jumped right into it like my brother did, he hated MGS1 and also 2 because he didn't like how they played.
I've seen about 90% of the first MGS, including a lot of secrets, being played by my friend who basically speedruns the game. The only Metal Gear game I have played, and owned, previously is Rising but I have a general knowledge on how the games work. Now that I got the Legacy Collection I'm planning on starting from the MSX version of Metal Gear and going through the games in release order. As an aside, I'm a sucker for PS1 games :P I still play RE1-3 regularly.
