Snake's Revenge (NES) Review

While the NES version of Metal Gear was an inferior version of the MSX original, Snake's Revenge was not based on the real sequel Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Instead they just went on their own, and made some stuff up. 

The game is changed a little into a little more action based game. I hear people compare it to Contra, but I wouldn't dare so. 

They do add some stealth game-play elements in there though. Though running and gunning while sneaking doesn't make much sense. 

Even though I was surprised about how close it really was to the old Metal Gear games, it's still pretty awful. The controls are junk, and I coudln't get very far before a search light barely got me or a squad of guards pop-up and gun me to death. I can understand why Konami pretends like this game never existed. 

Score: 2 out of 10

Things I Hate: Metal Gear (NES)

I only heard about this after Metal Gear Solid got huge. I had the sudden urge to find a copy, and man was I disappointed. 

For what it's worth, it's pretty similar to it's 3D sequels for an NES game anyway. Solid Snake sneaks around, shoots stuff, and smokes cigarettes. 

The only problem with that is that's it's pretty hard to sneak around in an NES game. There's a thin line between sneaking and getting caught red handed. It's pretty brutal when it comes to forgiveness. 

Plus the game is inferior to the MSX original (Japan only) with different levels and worse graphics. There wasn't even a Metal Gear, the final boss was a super computer. Yeah, that's scary.

Watched Escape From New York

Being made almost a decade before I was born, I never got a chance to watch it until now. 

I've heard plenty about the movie, especially all the references Metal Gear Solid makes to it. 

The story is set in New York in 1997 where the city has been turned into a prison, and the President is captured within the city, and someone must get him out. 

That man is Snake Plissken, who is offered a full pardon from the government if he rescues the President.  

He finds out that the President is being help captive by "The Duke" a black asshole who rules the criminal New York City. 

Speaking of the President, I really enjoyed his role at the end. 

Escape from New York is a unique movie with a fast pace and plenty of action. If you like action movies you'll love this, because this is easily one of the better movies I've seen come out of Netflix instant. 

My Top Ten PlayStation 2 Games #1: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid 3 wasn't a sequel to MGS2, instead the prequel to the whole series even the NES and MSX games.  You get to play as Big Boss, not some clone or whiny blonde bitch. 

I loved the jungle, forest, mountains, and even the inside areas of Snake Eater. Unlike other MGS games, you really did have a place to hide. So much fun to be had with that too.

The bosses were epic in this game unlike Sons of Liberty. The End is my favorite, where you get to fight this old guy in this huge forest area in a 30 min-1 hour fight of patience. 

I also wished I had online at the time of Subsistence the much better version of MGS3. It had a pretty cool multi player from what I heard, but they were plenty of extras and much better camera in that version.
