The above current issue of gamesTM, which is a UK magazine, has my Metal Gear History article printed in it, in the retro section.
I began work on it several months ago, handed it in, but due to the way mags are published, its only gone into print now. I have no idea how heavily edited it was, but it should have run at around 5-6 pages, with a huge comparitive chart of screenshots, but sadly Ive been told its been cut to only 4 pages with only a minimal of 5 screens. (one of which is the Micheal Biehn comparison pic)
Blame the editors for all that, I could have easily written a 20 page essay.
Anyway, if you feel kind enough, buy an issue, read it and give me some feedback. (or better yet, email my boss and tell how brilliant it is so I get commisioned for more work

Once the issue is no longer on sale, I will post the text here for you all to read, and if Snatcher agrees, I will send him the comparison chart that never made it. (you can put the whole article up if you want once that issue is not on sale)
The article chronicles the entire MG history, even the obscure things such as the home made Metal Gear VMU game, the Snake's Revenge LCD game and even MGS bottles of wine. (I must have submitted over 100 screenshots, and they ONLY bloody used 5!)
It also lightly touches apon Ghost babel, MGS1, various unreleased versions of MG, and the mobile phone ports, as well as mentioning the fan translations. It also shows SR in a very positive light.
To what degree, I am not sure, since I havent read the edited version yet.
Actually, does someone feel like scanning the article and posting it up here? I dont even live in the same country where its sold, so cant get hold of it.

Anyway, happy reading, and I hope it does the series justice.
A "thank you" must also go to Kid Einstein and Johnny Undaunted, who over the years have posted some very interesting MG pieces of information that helped inspire me.
