Fighting Metal Gear without enough plastic explosives, what now?
I'm replaying the first Metal Gear game via the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on the PS Vita, and have now reached Metal Gear itself.
Unfortunately, I messed up and went to challenge that tank with only 13 plastic explosives instead of 16. Without enough explosives, I can't beat the boss, and I can't go back either, as the door behind me is shut and doesn't open at all.
Also, when I die, I'm back at the beginning of the fight, so there's no way I can return to fetch more explosives.
What can I do? Is reloading a save file from before I even reached Building 3 really the only option I have left?
