How to get metal gear solid ringtone for iphone

About a week ago I was keen to try out a new message ringtone on my phone. I did a quick web search and came across a recommendation for the Alert! sound effect from the original Metal Gear Solid (Playstation game from 1998). Hearing it on my phone was pure nostalgia and prompted me to delve deeper – forcing me down a nostalgic rabbit hole. I rediscovered many other familiar sound effects from the game. From those I created a collection of MGS ringtones for my phone, iPad and Mac.

This short video shows all the tones I created with the context in which I use them for three of the tones.

If you’re a fan of the game and want the ringtones on your phone you can download them here. They’re available as m4r for iPhones and mp3 for Android.

To use them on your iPhone:

1. Download the files from Dropbox to your computer.
2. Open iTunes and import the tone files. They will auto categorise as ringtones.
3. Sync your iPhone to iTunes on your computer.
4. Navigate to the ringtone view for the iPhone in iTunes.
5. Tick beside all the ringtones you want to copy to your iPhone.
6. Click sync.
7. On your iPhone the ringtones will show up for you to assign as text tones/ ringtones/ alert tones etc.
