MSX - Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1990) - Intro

[fEr1324EVER]

la verdad no entiendo por que mis amigos se burlaron de mi cuando me vieron jugando este juego en mi ps3

este juego me divierte mas que muchos juegos de ps3

[r4shka]

Not to bo impolite, but what is MSX? Is this a game console I never have heard about before?

[hypersonic64]

@r4shka It's technically a computer made by Konami. It's games were sort of like the NES and had some kick ass sound capabilities.

[veselekov]

@r4shka Its like a commodore 64. except that it was endorsed by microsoft. (Hence the M i guess)

[drifter4training]

well i be damn !, this game was release when i was born, cool !

[metaljay18]

dude these games don't need remakes their just fine the way they are

[EviLotus01]

lol why does snake look like mad max in this

[Ragitsu]

@EviLotus01

You should be asking "Why does Snake look like Van Damme and Eastwood's baby in Metal Gear Solid?", since this came first.

[EviLotus01]

lol why does snake look like mad mak in this

[AnimeMetalFan1]

The music is just so badass.

[MrHinchapelotas]

I think the first game is the one wich needs a remake, the second one is alredy awesome.

[demberywea]

speed up?

[RockOnZombie]

we witnessed big boss's beginnings but not solid snake's.......kojima should remake the first two original games into 1 with an expanded story. since we all know big boss was the bad guy here, the original should be a 1 or 2 hour prologue like the virtuous mission in snake eater and the rest would be a remake of this.

[MANOWAR2707]

este solid snake es como un ramboo jejeje

[gerubax]

We played the middled- aged and old-age Solid snake, now we should play the young snake.

[arbayer2]

XD That note that goes off every time the Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake logo finishes animating on the main menu always startles the shit out of me. Yet another reason why this game is so awesome, methinks. :3 It always gets your attention, this series.

[SonicSlicer]

yeah,really,why was systems such as NES or even later for PS1/2 denied this game in between MG and Snake's Revenge?

[Secretmapper16]

Thumbs up to show your support for a remake!

[NosferatuAaacaado]

@Secretmapper16 no

[carlosroberto366]

we need remakes for these old games of MGS :(

[MyGodzilla99]

where can i download this?

[xXxMartin96xXx]

LETS GO TO FUCKING ZANSIBAR, BITCH! *ride into sunset on africa*

[ultmgammer]

lol snake looks like stryker haha

[Cactusman129]

8 people got shot by metal gear's machine gun penis

[XREMIX92]

Like an opening to a fucking cool 80's movie!

[redfoxbennaton]

@XREMIX92 I think that was the idea.

[GodzillaXAbudAwwal]

it sounds kinda stronger than 8 bit

[tf2cheats]

@GodzillaXAbudAwwal google "Konami SCC"

[GodzillaXAbudAwwal]

@tf2cheats that clears everything

[MrKukulikon]

えらいテンポが速いな

[spike007980]

25 years of Metal Gear in 2012...I foresee a Rebirth.

[lb8068]

Talk about farfetched...

[Skelley1091]

Holy crap this brings back memories. Seriously, this game was pretty much everything awesome about Metal Gear Solid, but in 2D.

[qsxxsq2]

Obviously designs on the Metal Gear mechs has gotten a lot more practical and aesthetic over the years.

[MrGameboy1989]

man, i could buy a msx, but i didnt(had no games)

[nachodc]

Man, i would like to see this game on ps3!!

[GXdrummer]

@nachodc yeah it would be nice hideo kojima makes a remake of metal gear solid zanzibar it would be fuckling kickass on ps3 just imagine it

[nachodc]

@GXdrummer Yeah... I don´t know why they don´t d it... Strange....

[Rachman1337]

The should remake this game. No one appreciates the old-school metal gear.

[ranks8]

hahah i got dis game 4 super nintendo

[fungstupid]

@ranks8 liar, Hideo hadn't made a SNES ver of Metal Gear 2 you idiot

[VirtualSnes007]

@ranks8 it was ONLY for the MSX but they made a Special edition of MGS3 that u can play MG2

[Johnnybomb1]

Is this running in Pal?Sounds way to fast.

[peepeevagi]

The best metal gear solid :D

[JtFin92]

@3:49 that cigarette pack looks just like Pall Malls Red Soft King pack :D well almost like that atleast :D

[demonic41700]

Did you see Metal Gear Rex's mechanical baby maker...

[peepeevagi]

It even zooms into it. It even spins and fires bullets for your pleasure xD

[filipeflower03]

Actually, demonic41700 ,this is Metal Gear D, the Metal Gear that existed before Metal Gear Rex.

[demonic41700]

@filipeflower03 Oh...I didnt get to where it showed it colored I just watched some of it...But It kind of looks like metal gear because It has the laser and the satelite....and the railgun but it looks like it shoots rpgs now that I look at it...

[filipeflower03]

I don't see any "satelite" here. But anyway, 'Metal Gear D' is the second Metal Gear .

[demonic41700]

@filipeflower03 I think its a satelite its under the railgun or rpg weapon...

[Pokeria1]

"Zanzibar Land forms a military government... ...and starts invading nearby countries. It also raids [Nuclear Arms for Disposal] storage sites around the world... ...and becomes the world's only nuclear power."

Ohhhh wait until Metal Gear Solid comes out and you'll see just how untrue that last statement really is (HINT: Zanzibar Land was NOT the sole nuclear power even back then. In fact, by 1998 or 2003, there was still 20,000 nukes in the world.)

[bwgary]

This would be a great song for the Blue Man Group to do.

[trueprolouge123]

psn so needs a msx,genesis,atari systems and more sections on pan and should put mg1 and mg2

[horrorandfilmmaniac]

METAL GEAR D!!!!!!

[skezm]

the music seems sped up

[MADCastro2010]

CORRECTING: 2:57 - 3:01 It reminded me Inception.

[MADCastro2010]

2:59 - 3:01 It kinda reminded me Inception.

[Henkjansmits4]

Great music! Great game!

[tmwilson06]

After playing Peace Walker, I can only imagine the dramatic and terrorist-like "kidnapping" of Kio Marv actually just Big Boss using the Fulton recovery system on him and hearing him go "Whoo-hooo-hoooo!" :P

[aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa]

there is a english patch for Metal Gear 2?

[andvas1994]

So Solid Snake is the main caracter back even in this game? and Gray fox is there to? how many of the Caracters from the Metal Gear Solid series is here? Metal Gear Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake Metal Gear Solid Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Metal Gear Solid: Portable ops Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the patriots Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Metal Gear Solid: Rising COOL!!!

[RiflemanIII]

@andvas1994 Solid Snake, Gray Fox, Big Boss, Roy Campbell, and Master Miller.

[grafx5]

running your emulator a bit fast, methinks. The music should be considerably slower.

[CrASYmUZIk]

You do know that this "army" in zanzibar land is the one that naked snake or big boss made in portable ops. when solid snake kills big boss zero recovers his body and puts him in a sort of a comma by some nanomachines. In the ending of mgs4 big boss says that solid snake defeats him twice, so im just saying that this game along with mg1 had an important part in the story of mgs.

[Hawkins214]

i had metal gear on gameboy color lol

[Ostnizdasht206]

8-bit METAL GEAR

[gator159]

too fast

[Trapster2]

Uh...it seems to go a bit too fast. Like, 50% too fast?

[BLUErobotman]

They talk alot about MG1 in MGS but never MG2, or Holly White or Oilix or Metal Gear D, they said Zanzibar Land MGS once...

This is why we need a Metal Gear 3, or Metal Gear Rebirth!

Kojima, make it so!

[lolz146]

@BLUErobotman Actually I rarely hear about MG1, the only thing you hear about it is "Outer Heaven" But your right, we need a remake of the first 2 metal gears

[ishi2k8]

@BLUErobotman

but theres lots of reference to gray fox in mgs

[ManolitoMystiq]

@oldskoolgamertje: Don't you mean "some familiar faces appear" ?

[PilleFryday]

great movie-like intro for this time !!!

[JohnKing789]

This is a little bit fast forwarded, isn't it?

[IvoryGecko1993]

I hear the MSX games like Metal Gear 1 & 2 are being released for Japan's Virtual Console... I'm not sure whether they will reach U.S. Shores...

[bwgary]

@IvoryGecko1993 They're already available in the US as part of MGS3:Subsistence

[xxxXGuNzXxxx]

the music is awesome

[ja60102]

i love the intro its so epic real movie like thats the best ting about mgs its so like a hollywood blockbuster

[ja60102]

imaging what it would be like taking on big boss after playing as him in peacewalker nd mgs3 nd port ops it would be fucking amasing

[StanpyX]

We should petition to Kojima to remake Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake in full 3D, a soundtrack by Harry Gregson Williams, full voice-acting from the likes of David Hayter, Richard Doyle, etc. Who cares if it would be a two-disc game, it'd be epic. Then the title can be something like "Metal Gear Solid: Origins". This of course, with no unneccessary retcons. Just updated.

I really hope this is the big PS3 exclusive Kojima is planning to reveal at TGS 2010.. that'd make my damn MONTH!

[Zed8201]

One of the Best Game Ever made.

[atlas88xx]

20 years ago and still amazing

LONG LIVE THE KING

[BlueFox284]

They need to remake this game baaaaaaadly. . .I think it could be the best in the series. . .Solid Snake vs. Big Boss. . .fighting Gray Fox bare handed in a minefield. I mean, the way MGS4 ended, it kinda opens the door for that epic fight once more.

[Zakuboxcarrier]

@BlueFox284 you realize snake beats big boss with a can of hair spray and a lighter right? lol

[IvoryGecko1993]

@Zakuboxcarrier Ghetto flamethrower!

[BlueFox284]

@Zakuboxcarrier Yeah, in a silly battle running around collecting key cards to get yet more key cards. . .just to get those two.

[snake2006]

The music is running a bit fast.

[TheMrj94]

apparently, kojima said that snakes saga ends at mgs4. and he will make the sagas of raiden and liquds sagas, because liquid was a solider in the army in the 90s so a game might be made about that

[TheGlowingMongoose]

i beat this game

[Dracula9AntiChapel]

@evanfire30 R you okay there?

[zolo1243]

8 bit eargasm!

[Kepora1]

@zolo1243

16-bit, actually. :3 This game shoulda been ported to the SNES...

[rogerpenna]

@Kepora1

MSX 2 computer was 8 Bits. But by far the best 8 Bits computer/console available. Several games have graphics on the level of 16 bit machines (but it wasnt capable of moving as many sprites, parallax scroll, such smooth scroll as Genesis, SNES or Amiga)

[allwalledup]

love tha music

[MrCrzymich]

i say a rebirth of the "The outer Heaven uprising" from "Metal Gear"

and zanzibar land where Big Boss organizes a regimen, and metal gear.

[welcometoGARYVILLE]

seems a little too fast!

[DARKflame34]

2:18 always gives me shivers...

God this game had some amazing music.

[SolidsnakeAK]

nice music...

[ja60102]

what happend to the good days when kojima made games because he loved them nt for money the onli reason rising is comin is for money mgs pw is gna b graet bu imagine it on ps3 please kojima !!!!!

[MetalSlime19]

@ja60102

I want you to use spell check, please.

[SnakeHiggins]

Konami is getting well known for thier Rebirth series...So either they could make a Metal Gear Rebirth that takes place between 2 and Solid and use just a slightly graphically update engine, or just as well a complete MGS4 engine update on Metal Gear 1 and 2 he he...That would be too awesome. I imagaine if Hideo and his boys redid the first two it would be mind numbingly awesome beyond belief.

It needs to be done...after Rising of course.

[MaxxTheSlash]

I'd rather see them start giving America MSX games over the Virtual Console so we can get the original versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2.

[Madis08]

@SnakeHiggins I think Kojima will just take a break after Rising, because he's done alot for the Metal Gear series. Personally, i would love to see a remake of MG1 and 2, plus a mission plot between MG2 and Solid. I think it should be done somewhat like Acid, but excluding the card battle nonsense. Also, if the plot between 2 and Solid is considered, there should be a non-Metal Gear boss with the Metal Gear capabilities

[growlingdog222]

@SnakeHiggins All we have to do is make a lot of people send death threats to Konami, kinda like they did for MGS4 to "persuade" them into doing it.

[GOD719]

@SnakeHiggins I hope they make a game when Snake fought Big Boss and Grey Fox at Zanzibar

[welcometoGARYVILLE]

@SnakeHiggins Personally, I think we are going to see a concept where Solid Snake is young and training at the age of 17 (as in the manual) which leads into Metal Gear 1.

Then Kojima will remake MG1 and 2 perhaps, it's so overdue now as long as he can resist getting a hard-on over over 60 min cutscenes.

Next game from the team is ZOE3 though so you'll have to wait a while. Not sure if it's being announced at E3 or not though yet.

[oretnom100]

@SnakeHiggins I've been thinking about that posibility, and I can't imagine how incredible that would be!

[poopskinTheLiar]

@SnakeHiggins I think a MG:R would be something that plays like Metal Gear 2 but has the art style of the newer games.

[AJ15ist]

Good Idea, but they should have the option to switch between Japanese and English audio.

[erraticchromatic]

@SnakeHiggins if they ever remake mg1 and 2 ill cream my pants

[TheEndlessWarlock]

@erraticchromatic

IDK about MGS2 but they did remake MGS1. Look for "Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes". It's MGS1 with MGS2's graphics and controls. Looks much better TBH.

[1shoryuken]

@TheEndlessWarlock don't say that pal, Twin Snakes is a GOD AWFUL remake of MGS1.

sure it had the MGS2 engine and updated graphics but it didn't have the original cast of voice actors, and the cut scenes are really retarded, but most of all... the soundtrack is fucking terrible compared to the original masterpiece.

its the one MGS game that everyone wants to ferget about.

[TheEndlessWarlock]

@1shoryuken

Actually, they DID bring back the original cast.

And don't say EVERYONE wants to forget. I actually prefer TWS over MGS1 TBH

[1shoryuken]

@TheEndlessWarlock to each his own l guess, l just think its an insult to the original game. Especially those over-the-top cut scenes, they take away the atmosphere.

[Marchof31Days]

@1shoryuken It did have the same voice actors. Reportedly, Hayter himself gave away half his pay check for that to happen. Only difference is the Ninja/Gray Fox: the actor who played him also played the Darpa Chief and didn't want to do both roles again.

[Clesarie]

@SnakeHiggins Or Konami could stop forcing Hideo to stop milking the shit out of Metal Gear. They own the right to the series. He's publically said he wanted to stop after 2 but, they said they'd go on without him. So he stayed. Metal Gear is dry the man can make other gamers. He's got plenty more movies he can still ideas from. Since ever single game he's made has been based of a movie and re tweaked.

[LPdreamcaster9]

I just beat this game last weekend.... wow. I never thought anything would top MGS for me. Solid Snake is truly the best game in the franchise and I hope Kojima makes a proper Metal Gear 3. I think if they got Yoji Shinkawa to hand-draw the characters and generate a superb story and they'll have an instant hit. There's so much material to work with between MG2 and MGS... I would even be willing to retcon Metal Gear Solid for a true sequel- never thought I'd say that. Make it happen Hideo!

[LPdreamcaster9]

P.S. "The Theme of Solid Snake" would obviously be mandatory in a sequel. The fact that Snake has a theme song like that (and MG2 in general) reaffirmed that he is my favorite character- even over Big Boss! AGGHHHH I love this game!

[SpeeBeta1]

Did The First one Tie in to any story line at all (other than the whole Outer Heaven thing) i know there is some difference between MG for NES and MSX :( this seems to be the missing peices of the MSG Storyline...

and was MSX anything special in the US, i heard about it once some time ago but not like your Commodores and Apples

[LPdreamcaster9]

The first one had a lot of plot holes because the developers probably had no idea there would be sequels. Overall though MG1 lays the foundation for the future metal gear games. It's the first time you meet Gray Fox, and helps clarify (along with MG2) why *spoiler* snake pulled his gun out on him at the end of MGS4. Without the originals one could not possibly understand what a tough, crazy bastard Big Boss really is.

[GeekyHan714]

@LPdreamcaster9

I thought Fox and Snake knew eachother before Operation Intrude N313. But yea, also explains how Snake knew Big Boss was his father, and how he'd kill him. If you played the first MGS without knowing the other two existed, it'll make more sense if you played the two. Atleast it made more for me. So uhh, yea, for the remakes is just like ya set.

[DimentioMaster]

@LPdreamcaster9 old comment and this has nothing to do with anything... but similarly to not knowing about a sequel, it's why they called the games final fantasy that because they thought each would be the last one... after 13 i think they should fucking stop calling it that... but then again i hate it too... im sorry, you don't even know who the fuck i am, but i had to let that one out of me.

[nabulcar2613]

Is nt that video so speedly. I think 1 part with weapons in metal gear must be slowly.

[TheKenolaBar]

Well, actually you can argue that in Metal Gear Solid that whole thing about Zanzibar Land being the only nation with nuclear weapons when Snake is talking with Baker and he mentions something to the effect that he thought the threat of nuclear war was gone with the turn of the millienium but Baker corrects him and says nuclear war is still a threat. So you can argue that the point was never brought up in latter games.

[chaosgreyblood]

To the guy that posted the vid:

You can see a detailed summary of both Metal Gear 1 and 2 on Metal Gear Solid 1 in the Demo Theather mode on the Previous Missions option. It's a very nice read.

[lazthaking]

'' 2 fuckin awesome! music is 2 nice! sounds betta than any movie! arigato! Hideo ''

[poopskinTheLiar]

I love "Zanzibar Breeze", the track that plays during the 2nd intro.

[ARSA525]

The best metal gear game if we only talk from the story.

[xxEvilOrgasmxx]

why does snake look scared in the codec messages?

[ClickForOutkast]

A lot of MGS fans say that Metal Gear 2 is better than MGS4 story-wise. I don't get it.

[ReverseFunk]

MG:SN had a very believable scenario imo, more so than MGS4:GOTP.

[ClickForOutkast]

Well, everything became surreal with MGS2.

Of course MG had a more believable scenario, becauase it wasn't that full of fiction and 'japanese' storytelling.

Or are you talking about something else?

[ReverseFunk]

I agree, MGS4 was continuing MGS2's storyline so it was bound to be "out there". MGS had a storyline grounded in reality for the most part as well imo.

[ClickForOutkast]

Depends, Liquids plans in MGS1 were simple and therefore looked sensical but actually it was very far fetched. Solidus' plan was a little weird yet it was very possible, nuking the atmoshpere to create an EMP is a very realistic scenario. Also Liquids plans in MGS4 are very sensical considering the universe and setting of MGS2/4.

And I honestly couldn't care less for realism in MGS, it's a fictive universe even if some parts could be possible in ours.

[ReverseFunk]

True, it's only a video game, but having some realism draws the player into the world better imo. I think that's what attracted me to the MG series; sneaking, real-world setting etc.

[ClickForOutkast]

Well, MGS has real-world setting too, it's just futuristic and sometimes a little crazy. (Psycho Mantis, Vamp, Cobra Unit etc.).

[jabbathehutt7869]

ive played metal gear, metal gear 2 ss and mgs 1 getting mgs 2 and 3 used at gamstop and getting mgs4 for my ps3

[JZPotter]

MGS4 is a beautiful masterpiece my friend

[jabbathehutt7869]

Absolutely it pwns Halo

[JZPotter]

Halo sucks compared to Metal Gear! Oh wait, shh there's a Metal Gear in my yard *outside "God dammit don't pee on my yard, Get out of here just go!" Metal Gear runs off*

[jabbathehutt7869]

that be weird if a the taliban or al qaeda made a metal gear

[JZPotter]

See, Tailban, alqueda. That dosen't sound threating, sounds like some powder you slap on your ass after running LOL

[dudeWTF7896]

I did all of this ina matter of a week =) exep for Mg1 and Mg2 but yea Mgs2 is like 10 bucks used on gamestop so i guess Mgs3 is around the same

[spiderman942]

0:44 HIROYUIKI FUKUI - Hiroyuki Fuck you E

LOL

[gabe3702]

hi man you know how I do to pass that part of the prison in the middle of the jungle have to figure out within the prison that hits the wall?

[RandomReviewer272]

You mean the one where there's a prisoner behind the wall? That's a tapping code.

Use frequency "140.82", three digits before Roy Campbell's frequency of 140.85.

[RandomReviewer272]

I have this on MGS 3: Subsistance... and it's pretty good, but HARD.

My word out to Hideo Kojima: "Thank You for re-releasing Metal Gear and MG2: Solid Snake on the games' 2nd disk, thanks for giving us the opportunity to finally play these."

[crust207]

lol now all he needs to do is remake those 2 for the 360 or ps3 or w.e, make it just as fun as all the rest ;D

[iainmacdonaldTV]

I'd like to see a 3-D remake of these games - it would be awesome, just to see what it would be like. :D

[DTNenforcer]

me too dude, maybe someday, who knows

[Spaceoffz]

Well, it won't ever be Kojima-approved.

He's against remakes...

So, a fan project perhaps.

[JohnKiller118]

Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes.

Look it up.

Anyway, the theme is awesome!

[Spaceoffz]

What I meant was - He won't initiate one.

He had nothing to do with Twin Snakes, only that he gave permission.

[firinginrainbow]

Shut up rory

[jforce0889]

so i've got myself an emulator called the bluemsx and I figured out how to start the game. The only problem was that it was in japanese. So, is there anyone who's able to give me a link to a translated version of the games?

[cfjackson123]

get MXblue you can download loads of english versions of this on MXblue.

[DTNenforcer]

try typing in google "Mgeare.rom" & "SOLIDE12.ROM" for each game respectively

[Tomassization]

@jforce0889 hey i got the same emulator but how do u start up the game i really wanna play metal gear

[danipe]

It should be great play this videogame in 90's :P

[crust207]

good i wish they would remake the 1st 2 games like they did with MGS i think that would be awesome..but actually make em better instead of kinda jacking up like the GC version of MGS

[bwgary]

This is one of the best intros out of the whole series. I think MGS3: Snake Eater is the absolute best though.

[twinturboteen18]

@bwgary snake eater has my fav gameplay i thought there wasnt enough sneaking in mgs4 while msg3 was about surviving the next hour and was more fun you could catch animals and you had to fix your wounds yourself just felt more indepth then number 4 which i found to be more streamlined for the xbox generation

[bwgary]

@twinturboteen18 I'm playing MGS: Peacewalker right now for the PSP. It is by far the hardest MG game I've ever played. There game engine is similar to that of MGS4, but the PSP's controls aren't suited for it.

[Ronsky89]

was the music originally at this speed? i think its a little slower in the PS2 version

[VampierMSX]

the version year heard probably is 12.5% slower (50/60hz difference) a strange side effect from old computers.

[MacWii]

That's actually right, Who was the dumbass who gave you a -2?

But, there's one thing i hate today... we (PAL) are still slower than NTCS

[VampierMSX]

I don't really care about the -2 most kiddies here grew up with the xbox/ps2 ;) MacWii try openMSX for the Mac ;)

[MacWii]

Thanks for he emu, also, i meant recent consoles are still slower on PAL than NTSC

Anyway, i'll give it a try ;)

[joshuaprado1]

msx this not for nes but you can have it if you buy mgs 3 subsitence you can get metal gear 1 and metal gear solid snake

[gator159]

WHAT SYSTEM IS THIS ON
