      Perhaps stating the obvious here, but Ayatollah Khomeini (Higharolla Kockamamie) and Muammar Gaddafi (Vermon(?) CaTaffy) were top of mind back in the 80s, so "funny" versions of their names were often thrown around.

My hope is that remaking Metal Gear Solid 3 will allow the new team to learn what the old metal gear team knew and thus if they were to make a new Metal Gear Solid game after that they will have a grasp on the mechanics and story that a Metal Gear game needs to possess. Its the same philosophy I hold for the Silent Hill 2 remake, and the other new silent hill I have faith in because the writer is someone I know who can write the type of horror that silent hill is known for.

    Fun fact;
    Kojima actually appreciated Snake's Revenge, albeit under the pretense of it being as kusoge (A game that is crappy, but to a hilarious extent rather than just frustrating)
    He thought that for all its warts it was still pretty faithful, and it actually showcased at Penny Arcade Expo for the franchise's 25th anniversary, an honor MG2 didn't have despite having a full English translation available through MGS3: Subsistence at that point, and MG2 explicitly mentions that it was rumored that Big Boss had been converted into a cyborg in reference to Snake's Revenge. It could even be argued that Venom Snake is an attempt to make a "canon" version of this game, since not only is Venom the reason Big Boss was rumored to be a cyborg, but his cybernetic arm is the same pronounced red as the "Powered Armor" of this game, and the entirety of MGSV is literally about Snake getting Revenge.

      I'll be honest... the story sounds fishy. It doesn't seem like a conversation that's likely to have happened and really puts a lot of self importance on Kojima himself. It sounds like what someone would come up with who thinks really highly of themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if what actually happened was that he overheard about Snake's Revenge being made and decided that it was his project, so he should make his own sequel. Seems honestly just as likely, if not more so.

    My great trick to figuring out the two NES Metal Gear games was when I accidentally tilted the cartridge in my top-loader as a kid, it make the game's graphics super blocky but basically revealed where the enemies look, all the traps, and the doors would look slightly differently to indicate what card to use. Probably the most odd way I made the games enjoyable for myself as a kid.

      For the most part the Japanese versions were *easier* than the North American releases. There's a few exceptions like the original Super Mario Bros 2 that never made it stateside until Allstars on the SNES because it was deemed too hard (and other reasons) by Howard Phillips.
      The North American releases were actually made harder to combat the rental market. If you are to rent a game and beat it in a night or two you would have no reason to buy the game so they artificially increased the difficulty. The first title that comes to mind is Bayou Billy which was so frustratingly hard but the Japanese release (I think It's called Mad City) you could actually beat and it was definitely nore balanced. There's of course lots of other titles that had their difficulty increased specifically for North America.

      The funny thing is that the dialogue in MG2:SS is actually not even meant to be lore, it is meant to be a reference to SR:MG2, because it is the earlier game.

He also probably couldn't have played it on his own back then, as it never had a Japanese release.

    This produces things like the whole alternate US Contra continuity, which exists only because of the manuals. Then you have Gradius calling it's bosses "Mayors".

    At the time that Snake's Revenge was released, Konami of America would make up their own story for the manuals, which had nothing to do with the actual in-game story. This is why the backstories for Metal Gear NES and Snake's Revenge are so strange and are never mentioned in the games themselves. The MSX2 release of Metal Gear in Europe got the proper backstory for the game in the manual. Even worse, because Snake's Revenge was never released in Japan, we don't know what its real backstory was supposed to be beyond the limited information in-game.
    The title Snake's Revenge made no sense at the time either, and may also have been made up by Konami of America. By pure coincidence it does make sense now, as Big Boss was retconned in MGS3 to have once been known as Naked Snake. Another funny coincidence related to the later games is how Peace Day never came in Peace Walker but World Peace Day is declared in Snake's Revenge.
    The requirement to swap keycards for doors was implemented because Kojima wanted to simulate the feeling of frantically searching for the correct keycard to a door. He wanted to implement a similar system in MGS1 (presumably like that in MG2) but he was thankfully talked out of it.
    The MSX2 release of MG2 doesn't have a list of names you can call on the radio, you have to keep track of the radio frequencies yourself like MG1. You can however type in the frequencies to the radio using the MSX2's keyboard, which is pretty cool.

      a roller-skating former bomb disposal specialist turned terrorist named Fatman;

But official characters still have dumb names, like Liquid Snake, or Otacon(which is the shortened versions of both "Otaku" and "Convention", as explained by Otacon himself), or "Quiet"; or Revolver Ocelot; oh wait, that's not really a dumb name; Ocelot does a lot of cool things in the series; and is directly connected to The Boss and Big Boss, but it's never explained how.

The hit detection was also a bit better in Snake's Revenge.

    The fact that Metal Gear development has always been this insane is hilarious and fits perfectly with the games themselves.

    46:07 well, I guess if Big Boss is the one out for revenge that would still technically count as Snake’s Revenge. Not sure if that’s what they were going for though. I’m guessing the dev team and advertising (manual, title, game box) teams had little to no contact.

      I think it is just an engrish mistake and the game was meant to mean "Snake back with a vengance" or sth along those lines.

    A week later, Snake's Revenge (& the NES Metal Gear) confirmed for the MGS Collection Vol 1.
    Konami saw this and was like "Ok, you got it."

    I recall that if you got Metal Gear Solid 3 Substance for the PS2, it came with 2 disks. With one of them having Metal Gear on the MSX, it's how i played it as a kid.

    Snake's revenge was the first nintendo game that i made my parents buy me when i was 5-6 years old :D What fun was when we got nintendo, one cardridge with three games. So yeah, i did play the game to the end. Even without knowing English. More surprising, i still remember when i at the battletoads with my cousin. Still it feels that we did the impossible :D

    ALL the Ultra game manuals were like that (they even used the same typeface!). I wouldn’t be surprised if they couldn’t understand a shred of Japanese but just looked at some screenshots and wrote a plot around those. Maybe they actually played the game with no context and had to invent a plot? My favorite one was one of the Ninja Turtles games that said “the SELECT button used to throw missiles, but the Shredder’s goons broke it.”
