Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake Intro

[TheSocialprestige]

This game was so fucking fun. I remember it came with my MGS3 special edition pack, I had no idea the original games were just called Metal Gear. After playing both the first and second, I realized quickly I grew up in the wrong timeline as a kid...Really wish these games were out when I was younger instead of the MGS series!

[countumga]

My god, I'm so thankful I get to finally play these. Thank you Kojima-san for creating the HD collection! TwT

[SnowSniper98]

The HD collection should be snake's revenge, MG and MG2

[Linkbattosai]

@johnjohn216 MSX2

[RaidenWarriors]

One thing - it really feels like an awesome seinen anime film which MG2SS could have been made into! XD

Personally, I like this theme of Solid Snake's more than the better-known one in MGS series, too.

[elsrdelpixel]

16 bit orgasm!

[strikerk]

@elsrdelpixel 8 bit~ <3

[GodzillaXAbudAwwal]

this intro makes me wanna buy an msx2

[landonmc98]

how do you get an english versoin rom

[GalaxiaShadow]

@landonmc98 google search "Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake English Translation Rom" and click the 2nd link of the results, when your in there, scroll down when you see ".DSK IMAGE" or ".ROM IMAGE" but i prefer .ROM image, i hope that will help you cause i just got that too

[landonmc98]

how do you find an english version rom

[chainedsword]

It's a little sad to see that no one really knows the awesome beginnings of the metal gear solid series. I love the whole series but I think this game definitely gave the MGS series a big step towards its current fame today. These games need to be remade in all ps3 glories or something.

[notaloco99]

men snake faces looks like mel gibsons r something it totally doesnt look like the real snake

[Konvictedjeezy]

@notaloco99 think michael been from terminator

[LunedeFiel]

20 years today. (July 20th)

[Xterminator333]

Kojima is either going to make a remake or one of our die hard fans will grow up to be a game designer and make one themselves and will be respected by Kojima for doing it.

[brothadave]

So freaking epic!

[hollaxpino]

im gonna have to play this on my metal gear subsistence disk later :p...forgot it was on there

[trancelistic]

my old favo game on the nes... took quite some skill and patience to. But ye <3 good old days :)

[HPMadruga]

This is the best opening ever made em Metal Gear Serie I have seen before! SO AWESOME!

[6Jigsore6Quandary6]

Awesome intro and one of the greatest pieces of video game music ever.

[gmobb142]

i wish metal gear and metal gear 2 solid snake would be remade.

[SVN4]

i wish they would be remade but greatly expanded to the level of MGS1 style and graphics (not blocky and jaggy, obviously, but just 3D with that camera and its 'corner view' angles). And maybe with a little bit of MGS2's slight changes of camera angles at certain places.

[DTown70]

MGS1 is a masterpeice why change it. It's fine the way it is. I love eagle eye camera style. It's been apart of MG and MGS since day one.

[DeltaForceSFODD]

@DTown70 So true.MGS1 is a pure masterpiece.

[simplyxwilliam]

@gmobb142 it was remade on the wii virtual console, but in japan only =(. and it was in the ps2 exclusive mgs 3 subsistence

[flamealchemist251]

@gmobb142 remade onto the PC

[TheEndlessWarlock]

@gmobb142

Indeed, maybe with MGS4's graphics to boot!

[sparrowsanzo]

@gmobb142 I played MG2 when it was released with the MGS3: Subsitance pack. I noticed lots of theme that traveled over the third game. Even though it has a different storyline, MGS is more or less a remake of this game.

[gabe3702]

Hi man. how you get this emulator?

[Linkbattosai]

Try searching Google.

[MrSpermdumpster]

You can download BlueMSX from the emulator zone, and you can get an english rom of Metal Gear 2 from Doperoms, hope I was helpful!

[BERSEK1979]

@gabe3702

This is the intro to Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake. This was captured from the original MSX2 version using the blueMSX emulator, which is the best MSX emulator around. If you want perfect MSX emulation blueMSX is the way to go.

[MercenaryZack]

@gabe3702

Google "MSX emulator"

Or "Nes emulator"

Then google "Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake Rom"

[SagginWillies]

That Japanese guy completely stole John Carpenter's "escape from new york" for any disbelievers go watch the movie again. And realize the fact that it was made long before this game came out! By the way, best game intro for the Nes was this game.

[Linkbattosai]

Ah.... ever heard of an homage. Kojima is a fan of the film. This game wasn't on the NES. I think you're confusing this game, Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake with Snake's Revenge: Metal Gear 2. The latter did appear on the NES but is not a part of the main series.

[SagginWillies]

I can see making something based off of "escape from new york" but not copy all the characters and the plot and the images. The scary thing is he completely ripped off everything from the movie. Every time i hear some kid say "oh they should make a metal gear movie" I'll tell them "just go rent escape from new york"

[metaXzero]

@SagginWillies

Copy all the characters? Snake was a pastiche of various movie action heroes, not just Snake Plisskin. And how is a plot of a rookie agent infiltrating a fortified state to rescue a comrade and destroy an objective the same as a legendary former merc being blackmailed to save the president from some gang?

Its homages EFNY and general old action movies, not rips it off. The plots aren't THAT similar where you can claim that.

[ArsenalSPT]

@Linkbattosai The Metal Gear series as a whole is a tribute to Snake Plissken.

[codename617]

@ArsenalSPT actually there is more. Rambo (the bandana) James Bond (Tux and other espionage styles) The Great Escape (the idea of sneaking around) But i do agree with you when it comes to the plot of the games and Solid SNake. Yup all from Escape From New York.

[OfficialZidaneTribal]

@SagginWillies He did that because he is a huge fan of cinema.He dedicated his life watching amazing movies Like Escape from New York and The Terminator.With all the movies he has watched in the 1980's,he use some of their elements and created the MGS series.It's kinda smart don't you think?

[wisam111]

@SagginWillies

hideo said thats where he got the idea from lol

[Laserbryte]

@SagginWillies

This isn't an NES game.

[EDDIEinWAR]

@SagginWillies you're an embarrassment to every Metal Gear fan

[pollo20x6]

@SagginWillies And i thank that japanese guy for making metal gear like escape from new york. because if it weren't for the awesomeness of mgs, i wouldn't have ever watched escape from new york.

and that movie is now one of my top favorites.

[sparrowsanzo]

@SagginWillies Kojima has stated that his main inspirations for Solid Snake were Snake Plissken from "Escape from New York" and Kyle Reese from "The Terminator".

[FlameAdder]

I notice that the port included in MGS3S handled the musical timing a bit differently.

[DTown70]

Real life or story line?

[Linkbattosai]

Real life.

[atlantiswolf]

12 years if I'm not mistaken.

[Linkbattosai]

1987, so 22 years

[atlantiswolf]

You're right. My bad. I was tired when I responded. But at least I got the last digit right.

[sbiq]

LOL @ 2:30

[Mixonpl]

Fuck, you destroyed my childhood.

[GeneralGoatse]

Favorited.

[FreestyleFarfetchd]

Masahiro Ikariko is a golden god.

[GilbertEverhard]

The music is good, sounds like a Kraftwerk; this game is a amaster piece. I want to play someday.

Saludos a todos y todas!

[gillianx68000]

crappy console???omg MSX is the system MSX FOREVER and NOT only for konami games

[RONIPIUV]

SRY IT WAS I MISSUNDERSTANDING I

[RONIPIUV]

is this by Kojima i heard that some two parts are not from Kojima

[Shadowii2]

This is Kojima creation. Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge is the one that was created by different team without Kojima's supervision.

[CrimsonFoxhound]

or permission either i don't think

[sbiq]

Metal Gear 2 on NES is not by Kojima.

[DTown70]

Yes it retard

[Linkbattosai]

Kojima did not have anything to do with Snake's Revenge for the NES.

[175Nacho]

Where can I get this game for PC?

Thanks

[movmultilock]

One of the best MGS music no doubt! Love it so much and even the retro version like this has an awesome feeling ^^ Love it ^^ :D

[agbengip]

This is Metal Gear 2, not Metal Gear Solid.

[NinjAroha]

pretty neat intro for such a crappy console

[Latokk]

The MSX is no console, my friend.

[Konvictedjeezy]

@Latokk PC Platform fTW

[gheldon]

This is one of the best Metal Gear games period. It established many of the norms for the game. It had awesome music, fun gameplay, appropriate difficulty, interesting puzzles - this game was everything that a true sequal to the first Metal Gear should have been. I actually have it loaded and playing on an MSX emulator this moment.

[26solidsnake]

wat system was this on i rememba layin it wen i was a kid but dont rememba the system

[Linkbattosai]

MSX2 Home Computer

[mgf001]

i love how you say rememba

[bubblesishot46853]

music rocks

[Aleryn27]

I love this intro. When dealing with engineering drawings this comes to mind.

[brtshstel]

I noticed the PS2 disc is not exact, but close enough. I wish they kept the original sound effects (they are slightly but noticeably different), text font, and character screens on the codec/radio. The PS2 versions have faster music, but I don't mind that.

[traviswebb76]

man they shoud remake this and first one that would be awesome

[NixiePixel]

Ahh .. Konami classics. =)

[newyorkcentrury]

were can i get that rom

[PRTMCLUESCROL]

good old memories :)

[BlueKewne]

I'm all for emulation and all, but I'm perfectly fine with the PS2 port of MG2:SS on Subsistance.

[scifiwizard99]

The swamp part ruined the game for me in many ways. I understand that they were trying to be creative but in the end they only achieved to frustrate me and many other gamers.

[WeissVogel]

@scifiwizard99 I had to find walkthrough pic that illustrated the actual path!

[wompastomp]

where the hell did you pick it up on MGS 4

[thebaconboy]

its when your adavanceing on ocelots camp in act 1 after the bnbs destroy the militamen you sneak past the two guards on patrol then theres a guy walking around some sandbags (all this is before the 3 guards near the jeep) theres some rooms behind the far back wall where the sandbag guy is its there (note this is also a grest way to sneak into the camp as if you go up the stairs it drops down into the locker room where the M4 SUP is)

[See4]

The theme always pumped me up.

[berrypievision]

Very stylized and cool intro for 1990.

[LordValor001]

i listen to this on my ipod all the time on MGS4 lol

[filipinowhiteboy]

You have it on your Ipod? how? Did you download it? or did you get off a CD.

[thebaconboy]

he means the in game ipod for MGS4

[julianannon]

this is my favorite in brawl/lol

[iamstormtrooper]

i cant get the controls rite...what are the controls...for some reason, my punch is the m button! D:

[Murukku47]

punch is M/N, arrows move, space shoot, M/N+space crawl or stand, f1 pause, f2 weapons, f3 items, f4 transceiver, f5, load/save

[acastillo999]

The song is freaking awesome!!

What's the name of it? "Rape the Virgin" right??

[Linkbattosai]

It's called THEME OF SOLID SNAKE if anyone wants to know.

[LordValor001]

omg and the Cambell looks like the colnoel on Rambo lol and its Sean Connery @_@ all star cast XD

omg the intro is amazing!!!! best 8 bit theme ever?

[hateWinVista]

Snake's picture looks like Rambo!!!

[itzjohnFTW]

-------------!----------

[Actraiser64]

I love the music for this intro!

[48GMo24]

So Epic for 8bit!

[royalbio9845]

100th rating ^^

[Danny953]

Where can I get the emulator for this MSX2 and a ROM for this?

[Linkbattosai]

Use Google my friend

[kharkistania]

Or buy the Special Edition of MGS3

[acemasterchaos]

dont they need to remake these?

[hateWinVista]

nooooo!

konami were no time to re make this

[ThisIsGonnaBeCool]

cigarettes

[PlatinumSpeed]

I'm so glad this song's in Brawl!

[HarpoTheVillain]

Me too. So far it's my absolute favorit among the Smash songs. It's just too bad it takes so long before it kicks off.

[HarpoTheVillain]

I LOVE THIS MUSIC TO DEATH.

[escepticojr]

love the music

[gheldon]

This is my favorite Metal Gear game. It is sucha fantastic classic, but since it was only on the MSX, few people have played it. It is a real shame.

[jumpmansbro]

and what makes it worse is that this game was only released in japan, and we had to wait until roms and msx emulation was good enough to play the fan translated version. luckily, most systems from the mid-90s and earlier run like a calculator on most PCs today (in terms of technical capability)

[Cj1500]

A remake of Metal Gear would be cool. But I don't know if a remake of Metal Gear 2 would be a good idea. Seeing how the layout in the game is similar to Metal Gear Solid.

[Mahadfire95]

Get encounter if snaking is'nt real.

[goubster]

buy Metal gear solid the esential collection it comes with MGS1 MGS2 substinces and MGS3 substinces

[goubster]

what system is metal gear 1 and 2 for

[Linkbattosai]

MSX2 Personnel Computer

[stonecold723]

remake konami XD

please konami!!!!!!

[tx55drexray]

but a remake would suck... there is a port of mg and mg2 solid snake on the ps2 with mgs3 snake eater subsistence

ya know that you dont really have to play either mg games to follow the serries. The story of both is explained in mgs...

[stonecold723]

hope konami makes a remake!

please konami!!!

[Chrome13Enigma]

remake please konami. :P

[Benny211088]

I love the intro music = )

[DemonicFireFly117]

this game is where metal gear really showed its potential. and now, almost 20 years later we have the end to the long journey with snake in mgs 4. all hail konami lol

[warriorgrog]

This game is ludicrously fucking awesome. The game definitely evolved into what it is today, and you can see so many traces of metal gear solid [1] in MG2.

[E4Bloke]

on blueMSX and if you haven't changed the controls push n and the space bar at the same time.

[erreap10]

me acabo de passar el mgs4

[hyundai86]

Just one question ;) how crawl in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake ??? I using blueMSX 2.71 but can't find button for crawling. Help.

[SVN4]

hm, i dont remember the game keys (and i changed some of the keys on the emulator, that is worse), but i pressed 2 buttons the same time.

Could anyone help with the exact keys??

[otacon98]

press M and space key at the same time to crawl and just press space to get back up.

[bwgary]

When I first played this as part of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, I totally fell in love with this intro. The music is awesome. I would so love for Konami you remake the original two games for the new systems.

[TheDutchGhost]

Would depend what kind of remake; Metal Gear 2 with better graphics but same story, or a recreation of Metal Gear 2 but with the stories of MGS1/2/3/4 in mind?

[TheDutchGhost]

Oh and before I forget, should any version be made, please add the Metal Gear G and a fight with one of the tanks :D

[CyberLance26]

If they would remake the two first games they probably would have to come up with a big bunch of new stuff for the story and new characters but the basic story would be the same only with some new things added.

I really hope they will make remakes of the two first Metal Gear games because i really want to see everything in them in a new modern version thats like the new games and i want to see more of a modern 3d version of big boss.

I really want to play a game with him as the main villain´.

[SVN4]

yeah, i also wish they could do that.

remake the 2 games with the style and gameplay of the "Solid" series, but keeping this story and these same characters.

oh, and the idea of releasing it to DS is good, although would be better if they enhance the graphics (but 2D of course)and add new stuff, and put the original games as extra (like MGS).

[TheDutchGhost]

Man that sounds like an excellent idea, I would definitely buy the Metal Gear/Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake DS double pack.

As I was saying, add the tank fight and the Metal Gear G :P

[mqwerty1]

rather prefer that they woul put in ps3 than ds

[TheDutchGhost]

Buy MGS3 Subsistence, it has both Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2.

[linksgun]

Raw games or edited it so its better?

If they made MG1/MG2 3D on the Ps3 it would own.

[tx55drexray]

i would but it is very hard to find and expensive

[TheDutchGhost]

Man, such an awesome game.

While I started with an MSX playing games, I only discovered this game and its prequel years later.

Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake is still playable today, perhaps Konami should consider making a double pack with this and the first Metal Gear for the Nintendo DS, adding background information, design sketches like with Contra 4.

Last but not least, I bought a copy of the original MSX game yesterday! :D

[gothic1hobbit]

What did you use to capture video from the emulator to upload on here ? I fancy putting a few old msx classics on youtube myself :)

[Linkbattosai]

You can use a program like snagit or hypercam 2 to capture from any program window.

[WMB87]

halos shit compared to metal gear

[Samoutuomas]

WMB87: I would bet my ass that you would play Halo more gladly than this game. A fanboy's attention span is not enough for a game like this.

[conradojavier]

[Rowiehz]

Whoo! Retro Metal Gear <3 I've always loved these games of Hideo Kojima. Sadly, I've never played this one or Metal Gear. These 2 were for the NES right?

[Linkbattosai]

The 2 games on the NES were not created by Kojima himself. Kojima created Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake (the video you just watched) for the MSX computer. The MSX computer was never released in the states therefore, Konami created two Metal Gear games on NES without Kojima's involvement. If you want more info checkout the Metal Gear Retrospective on gametrailers(dot)com

[Rowiehz]

Ah! Thanks for the info! Much appreciated! I have another question, I hope you dont mind me asking it but do you maybe have the mp3 file of this intro? I've been so wanting to have it for so long already.

[Linkbattosai]

I have the mp3, just PM me your e-mail address and I will send it to you.

[Jnnytuffkid]

GO HIDEO KOJIMA!

[vivalalvam]

lol "music compose"

"sound effect"

[Al496]

It's pretty cool they added this song in the Shadow Moses Stage of Super Smash Bros. Brawl :D, I love it!

[RicardoDiaz]

Was this intro on the PS2 version? Because I don't recall seeing it.

[macstof]

No, it was in the MSX2 version (1990).

[Chamele7n]

It was also in the PS2 version.

[UrCommander]

A modern remix version of this song should be used for the intro of a live action movie based of Metal Gear and Metal gear 2 combined

[zisko19]

mgs 3 is 1

mgs ops is 2

mg is 3

mg2 solid snake is 4

mgs is 5

mgs2 is 6

mgs4 is finish 7

[thomasdangerpowers]

mgs is 1

mgs po is 2

mg is 3

mg2 solidsnake is 4

snakes revenge is 5

mgs is 6

mgs2 is 7

mgs4 is 8

[LewisG35]

If your talking chronological order of the series; MGS3 is 1, Portable Ops is 2, MG is 3, MG 2 Solid Snake is 4, MGS is 5, MGS2 is 6 and MGS4 is 7. Snakes Revenge is non-canonical and unrelated to the actual storyline, it's a different universe altogether.

[MetalGearFanatic]

Metal Gear Solid 3 Is Still By Far The Best (Considering MGS4 hasn't been released yet :)

[Schlappenschannes]

mgs 3 is the 1

mgs po is 2

mg is 3

mg2 is 4

mgs1 is 5

1:54. Pause.

There he is.

[SobmicSSBB]

As well as 2:48.

[thebaconboy]

wooooo flash back

[roseth22]

I wonder this music works on my ipod shuffle if so please tell me how

[Linkbattosai]

All you need is the mp3 of the song, which I have. If you want me to e-mail the mp3 to you just send me a message with your e-mail address inside.

[SaiyanRoconer2]

This song is on the Super Samsh Bros. Brawl Sound Track. Just download that.

[deadfall07]

This music kicks major ass!

[lavosdaman]

Man, I love the music from this game. It's so great!

Now I feel like playing MG2 again.

[NiteLyphe]

I love MGS3. I've always been interested in BigBoss. There are things about him, I don't know, that are similar to what I've been through.

Never played a game so often.

[Jerrel28]

where did you find this rom?

[Linkbattosai]

try using google

[ico128]

Man i need that music as a ringtone!!!

[Linkbattosai]

I have the mp3

[Rambo1989]

me 2

[deadcell626]

My favorite tune in this game was the one you hear in the tank hanger just after killing the Black Ninja,the resistence leader from MG1.

[spamtrooper1]

i would take this beautiful synthesized music over a full orchestra any day
