Anyway, it's worth a look at some of the stuff there. Some is very funny, some is very cool- Snake Soup Hoax Page

To each his own, but I never got into it as much as I did the original on NES. But if I had a choice of a MG2:SS port or SR, I'd go with MG2.Johnny Undaunted wrote:Shut your mouth.

Anyway, those photoshot GBA covers aren't really as great as the ones I did years ago, of course those were lost in my previous PC. The ones I did were Japanese horizontal-style.
hell yeah, that game kept me busy till I got ahold of castlevania III. Ultra Games was the definitive coolness of it's time, for the time it lasted.Johnny Undaunted wrote:Shut your mouth.

Well, duh. Of course, the plot and dialogue are gonna campy compared to Metal Gear 2. Aside from the fact that it wasn't written by Kojima, It's an early 90s NES game after all. Videogames back then were hardly literature, not many people gave a damn about such things as continuity and character development (with that said, SR's story was fine by NES standards). Besides, the Cyborg Big Boss isn't anymore ridiculous than getting possesed by a surgically-attached limb.87th wrote:It's mainly when you compare it to MG2:SS that the flaws shine out. The dialogue and plot is incredibly campy, and silly. With NES MetalGear, I just laughed at it, with Snake's Revenge, I got annoyed.
Oh and let's not forget- http://www.thesnakesoup.com/myths/bbsna ... rdboss.gif
KECJ? What's that? Was that the name of Kojima's team during the MSX days? :razz:87th wrote:I didn't claim Snake's Revenge's biggest flaw was that it wasn't developed by KECJ, either.
But more appropiate, since unlike Snake's Revenge and Metal Gear 2, they're actually meant to be the same game.MetalGear comes of as a worse game than MG2, to me, so a comparison between it and its NES counterpart is less sacrilegious.
Erm... I second what Mr Undaunted said. I personally regard SR as one of the best games in the NES/Famicom catalogue, and worthy of inclusion alongside other MG games.Johnny Undaunted wrote:I don't understand how anyone in their right minds would choose the NES Metal Gear over Snake's Revenge (unless you're a canon-bitch). The NES Metal Gear was a horribly reprogrammed version of the original MSX game without half the care and even less stealth than Snake's Revenge (at least Snake's Revenge kept the "double exclamation mark" alert mode and didn't allow to turn off the alarm by moving to the next screen most of the time).
I don't even understand why people think Snake's Revenge is so un-Metal Gear-like. Outside of the lame side-view segments , I thought it was a pretty faithful to the original (unlike say, Zelda II). It's also a shame that the crappy US manual has affected people's perception of the game's plot, even though Kockamamie is not even mentoned in the actual game's narrative (although, some people should know better, namely anyone working for a videogame magazine).
And I'm not even saying that I prefer SR over MG2. I'm simply saying SR doesn't deserve half the flakk it gets. Granted, SR might not be the canonica sequell, but most fanboys treat the game like it was the videogame-equalivent of Batman & Robin.
