  • On the topic of this series, I listened to an episode of 1UP's Retronauts podcast that touched on every title, and it was good stuff. Recommended if you're a fan.

  • This the REALY MG1

    MG1 and MG2:SS *Never came to USA in anyway UNTIL MGS3 remake 2ed Disc* were for MSX computer commonly used in PAL and Japan areas the computer never came to USA

    MG NES was based of MSX game but there alot things diffent mostly layout of areas story and bosses mainly same *aside from MG being MSX boss and NES haveing computer due to limits of NES*

    Also to Note Snakes Revenge never came out in Japan in any form

  • Oooo, thank you! I love the original Metal Gear music far beyond the NES version. While I grew up on the NES version, there's nothing in 8-bit like the main theme at 1:49. EPIC!

  • not sure if this is already posted didnt read everything but the metal gear that came out in the US for the nes was not created by Hideo Kojima or by the konami company it was made by some other guy and was made more like a shooter then a stealth game much like the rest made by Hideo

  • Kojima's quoted as saying that he heard it while it was still unnamed and thought the main notes sounded like "ta-ra" or some shit like that.

  • YEEEEAH MSX VERSION!

    Alert music is made of win.

  • This definitely sounds sped up.

  • I FEEL ASLEEP!!

  • Where on Earth did the idea come in to name the first song/sound in the video (It's also at 1:49) "Theme of Tara?" At least, that's what they call it in Brawl.

  • I forgot to tell you use a gas mask in gassy areas

  • I noticed that in this game its Grey Fox, but in Twin Snakes its Gray Fox? I know its just one letter but im still confused about it.

  • I don't think it has been remade. At least I can't think of any tune sounding like that right now. Sorry.
