Snake's Revenge Music (NES) - Jungle Infiltration

[Dez26]

This game was truly awesome. Screw the haters. (who probably never even touched it)

[200xMarcus]

@Dez26 I agree Hideo Kijimo whatever his name was Never considered this game as part of the Metal gear series.

[DJCandyManMike]

This game doesn't get a lot of love, but the music is amazing! This track remains one of my favorites from any NES game.

[ASVHI]

Snakes Revenge takes a lot of shit because Kojima had nothing to do with it and it's not canon but it's really not as bad as people make it seem.

[EdmacZ]

Snake's Revenge is much in the same boat as the American Mario 2.

Yeah, it's not the "true" sequel. But you know what? Nobody really gives a shit. Konami saw it fit to deny Americans of the original Metal Gears and give us this game instead. There is nothing we could do about it at the time.

[MrPaladino]

@EdmacZ Well, that's not exactly right, actually. Kojima never intended to make a sequel EVER. The existence of this game gave impetus to make a "true" sequel. Kojima only decided to make a true sequel AFTER he found out. We just never got it because it was for the MSX, only. (check the bonuses in Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. MG2: Solid Snake is included) As for Mario 2... Nintendo of America made that call because the "real" Super Mario Bros. 2 was just a frustratingly hard rehash of SMB.

[essay383]

could they have made snake look like anymore of a dumbass on the cover xD awesome music though!

[fonarte]

Still a fun game with pretty damn awesome music even though it's not part of MG overall.

Plus without it, there would be no MG2-onward

[megarus3000]

snakes revenge is not even part of mgs serie

[ThePowergloveNinja]

@megarus3000

Best spin-off game though. Plus it inspired the creator to make the sequel to the original. So in that way, without this game, Metal Gear 2 or Solid would not exist.

[megarus3000]

@ThePowergloveNinja STFU

[ThePowergloveNinja]

@megarus3000

U mad?

[DJCandyManMike]

@ThePowergloveNinja

He would have had to make a sequel at some point, or there would be a lot of unhappy people at the fact that the message from Big Boss saying he was alive and would come after Snake went unresolved. I agree with you, though, that had it not been for Snake's Revenge, Kojima may very well not have been pushed to do the epic job that he did with Solid Snake.

[CIBVS]

@abellang Actually, Kojima had nothing to do with the amazingly epic snake's revenge. I think Konami had him sit this one out but i'm not 100% sure konami was involved at all in this one. (But I think they were)

[ImmaGeneralBlue]

@CIBVS

One of Konami's NES divisions was the developer of this game.

[TheAjvizcarra]

Sometimes, i played this game just to hear the music. So well rounded and catchy! The song is a great tip off for the game

[Maetch01]

It's said that Kojima himself actually liked Snake's Revenge, as he thought it was fairly true to his concept (moreso than the NES port of MG1, which he outright hated).

Of course, we wouldn't have gotten the real MG2 had it not been for this game coming to Kojima's attention.

[YoshiAngemon]

They could market this into a Metal Gear Rebirth: Snake's Revenge! And the whole thing could turn out to be Simulation played by Old Snake, before he finally dies.

[snake007blaze]

This music is....Epic!!

[FilthyScumX]

I don't care if this is not a "real" Metal Gear game -- this game was fucking awesome, and the soundtrack was one of the best on NES. Whoever disagrees with this deserves to die a slow, agonizing death.

[mariojuggernaut22]

@FilthyScumX WOW....

[malecpajaro]

Metal Gear's sountrack is the best!

[GaraOFtheeFUNK]

I have only played the 3d Metal Gears but this song is awesome.

[ElectronicIntervals]

I just put a drum and bass remix of this at soundcloud. com/ decitronic

Check it out, just paying homage to a great track!

[ThunderForce222]

LOVE THIS THEME..when I was 12 I used to take a tape recorder up to the tv and record OST's...THIS WAS AN AMAZING THEME!!!

[hutter2006]

@ThunderForce222 i did the same thing with a bunch of video games

[moneyorder67]

i did that to ilove it

[geepriest]

i love it I LOVE IT!!! konami made the best music in the days of NES...

[RoyStantz]

@Saiyuki204 Well, he knew about the game's production from one of the designers at a Tokyo train station sometime in either 1988 or 1989.

[RoyStantz]

@Saiyuki204 Wrong, Ultra Games were just the publisher. Konami developed the game.

[lo0ser555]

im soo bad at this game xD

[JohnVmc2]

This game is awesome. Much better than the "official" releases (yes, it is more fun than the titles released for MSX - which were never really good unless it has become fashionable to like metal gear and more fashionable still follow the wave of Kojima and deny this great title.) One day someone will do justice to this game!

[ThunderForce222]

@JohnVmc2 ....I agree....there WAS NOTHING wrong with this game..and all those people out there who say..."Ohhhh...It wasn't the TRUE SEQUAL..or...It has no base in the story line..well...ok...#1...For the majority of us who played it the day it came out in summer of 1990,..it was awsome...great game...oh..wait...ummm jeez..most of us didn't even know that it wasn't the "TRUE SEQUAL"

[ThunderForce222]

@JohnVmc2 ---PART 2 of my RANT----Now..all of a sudden..."kids" who played that game are fucking scholars on Metal Gear cause it was fucking trendy to play the MSX version..forget that...I'm AMERICAN....I LIVE IN AMERICA..and "SNAKE'S REVENGE" is what we got....so that's the game I know..it's the Japanese's fault for shit like this....not our's..the AMERICAN consumer..and all those out there who think they're cool cause they got a Jap version of a game..well....GO F-----G LIVE THERE..!!!

[pollo20x6]

@ThunderForce222 No need to live in japan anymore to get the True sequel to metal gear. :D

Isn't that great?

[Falconwing]

This video is currently more popular in Finland than America.

[art11art12]

I can hear all the flares now.

[hronbubberd]

The game was crap, but the music was awesome!!!!

[lonewolfkeylo]

i just beat this game a couple days ago. man i really like this game i will never get tired of it.

[kibjohn]

@Saiyuki204 In fact, this game was developed by Konami. Ultra Games was basically a Konami spinoff just like LJN was basically a spinoff of Acclaim.

-k.t.

[trigga5]

Anyone notice he's holding the gun like a tard...

[Urvy1A]

@Saiyuki204 Ultra Games (and its European counterpart, Palcom Software) was created by Konami to get past Nintendo's strict rule about releasing games. That rule was abolished when the Super NES came out and Ultra Games ceased.

[Urvy1A]

In the side scrolling areas, Snake looked more like Trevor Belmont...

[xTsuRyux]

@Urvy1A It was that or he'd resemble to looking like the characters from Contra (Same shooting stance, if you'd noticed) But the sidescrolling sequences felt more Castlevania'ish than anything else.

[shadowspork]

The only good thing about this game was the music. Everything else was crap!

Thank God for the "real" sequel, which was Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

[xxxdieselyyy]

@shadowspork -----------The only good thing about this game was the music. Everything else was crap!--------->I have to agree with you here. However, the railways level was pretty neat I thought....

[ninjast4r]

Say what you want about this game, but it did have good music

[DJCandyManMike]

@ninjast4r

It sure does! I'm in total agreement with you on both points.

[greenluigi24]

@Saiyuki204 Ultra was spawned by Konami, dumbass.

[ndog985789]

@Saiyuki204 koonami made the japanese version

[DJCandyManMike]

@Saiyuki204

Dude, Ultra pretty much was Konami. Their sole purpose was to distribute more games for Konami because of Nintendo's rule that licensees could only release 5 games a year on the NES. In any case, I always did think the music in the game was quite catchy, even if it's not a true Metal Gear game.

[Shinespark1983]

The soundtrack is badass. Too bad the game is just ass.

[toastedtesticles]

@Shinespark1983 the game wasnt that bad IMO, there were afew flaws though... i myself never knew how 2 attach the goddamn suppressor!

[DJCandyManMike]

@toastedtesticles

No need to attach it. Once you get it, it automatically works with the handgun and the submachine gun. Just remember that those are the only guns it works with. Silencing the shotgun? Nope, try again!

[ejswe]

This theme is easily on my top 10 for nes.

[JPThunder01]

It would be awesome if Konami did an orchestrated version of this song in a new Metal Gear.

[JPThunder01]

Ultra Games is Konami.

[explod2A03]

Gamefaqs credits Konami as the Developer and Japanese publisher, and Ultra as the US publisher. Not sure how *totally* accurate that is or not... but Ultra was a US subsidiary of Konami anyways, and Snake's Revenge still had a Japanese development team. So, they're more or less the same thing. :)

[iniche]

@explod2A03 That's pretty stupid of gamefaqs. This game was never officially released in Japan anyway. Gamefaqs as usual.

[spazner4]

i wish they would remake these first two metal gears. it would be super awesome

[MrPaladino]

@spazner4 It's suggested that Kojima "forgot" about those games until Peacemaker finally tied us back to Big Boss' motivations for creating Outer Heaven, finally bringing the story full circle. For now, the best we can hope for is the slightly "updated" Metal Gear 2 included with MGS3: Subsistence.

[GenghisClown]

Konami Soundtracks ftw!

[Senapse]

This definitely one of the better NES games (after all the Marios, Zeldas and Mega Mans). It's amazing how good the music in this game is.

I especially love the intro 0:00-0:09.

[mtdewramen]

all of the music with this game was some of the best from my childhood playing the NES.

[ChiviChing]

i always liked this song and the boss stage musc

[Bastiest]

@mtdewramen I shall disagree, however the begining of the game did really great job with the music.

Especially jungle infiltration.

[mtdewramen]

@Bastiest I agree with you, after i heard some of the greats of the NES soundtrack, can't help a crappy budget at that age :P

[battalion1982]

snake on the game cover looks alot like tom berrenger

[MrPaladino]

@battalion1982 Which is kinda amusing, since Gray Fox's portrait in the MSX2 release of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake *IS* actually modeled after Tom Berrenger.

[TaylorK1984]

best first level music ever!

[shadowlilnk]

epic music.The beginning xD
