Re: Hardcore Gaming 101 "Top Secret Konami files"

I've since put a series of new interviews up. Perhaps the topic title should be changed to reflect this? The first was Agness Kaku, the rest are now up as well, finishing with Toshinari Oka of MG2:SS. There aren't any more to be added (I had one with a guy from Thief, for a dedicated Thief article, ...

MG comparison chart

I can't recall if I ever posted this here, I think I did several years ago, but here it is again: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GWJ534Z4 A comparison chart I did of the original Metal Gear, between the MSX, NES, C64 and IBM PC versions. I was going through some old URLs and recalled that I put it on ...

Re: GAMEStm Blaustein feature!

You should have also put this in the ZOE forum, since JB speculates that Kojima named the game as such after his daughter - interestingly, JB also named the cube of Zoe from SOTN after his daughter. Anyway, I pitched the feature to their retro editor, he said yes and sent me a Purchase Order, I then...

Re: GAMEStm Blaustein feature!

That was my article, which I was never credited for. Though I did manage to almost sneak my surname into it - check the first letter of each of the first 11 sentences. If they hadn't altered the very first word, it would spell my surname - now it's a letter out. Here are some hi res photos of it: ht...

Re: Patch is up

EDIT: Never mind, after more googline I just discovered that the Saturn's glossary was on a 3rd disc for the PS1 game, which wasn't translated. Can the glossary on the site be converted into a format for easy reading on the PSP? It has a web browser, but I don't take it online - really I'd just like...

Thoughts on a MG coffee table book?

What is everyone's views on an almanac style coffee table book on the Metal Gear series? Since you guys are as serious as Kojima fans get, what would you need to find in it to be satisfied? How obsessive and obscure should the coverage be? Encyclopaedic in nature? How much cross-over would be people...

I'm pretty sure that after Konami went through the trouble of porting Metal Gear from the MSX2 to the NES, then changing the script, they translated to english, then back to japanese for the Famicom release. I thought the Famicom version was the first ported, and done in Japanese. AND THEN translat...
