Hello all,
Marten van Wier here again after all these years.
I finished Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake again yesterday, this remains one of the best games on the MSX and games in general.
I also think its the best game in the Metal Gear saga now that we can reflect on the series.
For all of you who don't have Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence, you can find the game on this link

"ok, earlier someone said that snake was a foxhound n00b. thats not true, before he joined foxhound, he was in the marines, and special forces,"
Wouldn't that still make him a Foxhound newbie? Heh.

ok, earlier someone said that snake was a foxhound n00b. thats not true, before he joined foxhound, he was in the marines, and special forces, when big boss made him and liquid, solid got all of the good traits from big boss, and liquid got all the bad, this made solid the best soldier of the 21st century, NOT big boss. someone also said that big boss was trying to fulfill the bosses mission, but her mission was finished when she died. if anyone has a different veiw of this, plz tell me at Muffinlord134@hotmail.com

Like wot 'xXFOXDIEXx' sed, but BIG BOSS turned 'bad' so that he could make a world that revolved around war. so that all soldiers could live and die on the battlefield and could be appreciated as heroes! he didnt want other soldiers to be betrayed by their superiors...
by xXFOXDIEXx | 1 decade ago
If you played MSG 3, you would know that you play as NAKED SNAKE, or later to be known as BIG BOSS. Snake believes The Boss has betrayed her country by joining the soviets in the contruction of a nuclear weapon machine. Yet, if you finished the game, you would know that The Boss was under United States orders. She was not to let Snake know that her plan all the time was to protect the Patriots, and the billions of dollars that was established by the republic of china, USSR, and US. Snake realizes this too late. He had killed The Boss and had earned the tittle of BIG BOSS. Snake is upset with the fact that the boss was a hero, and a true soldier who was faithful to her country. Yet in U.S she was seen as a traitor who deserved her fait. Snake retaliates by contructing Metal Gear, a machine designed by a soviet given to Mr. Emmerich. Snake's plan is to liberate all soldiers, and give them a new begining.
HARD TO UNDERSTAND, but it goes something like that.

Metal Gear 2 - Solid Snake (RC767), contrarily to the first Metal Gear game for MSX (RC750), was never sold outside Japan. Back in the early nineties only a few copies of MG2 dropped in The Netherlands and Spain (countries in Europe where the MSX system was most popular) thanks to small importers.
When it was released, in 1990, I remember that the first part (Metal Gear - RC750) was considered a very good game (of course not the myth that it is today). Metal Gear 2 surpassed the first game of the saga in all aspects: graphics, sound, playability and technical details. The graphics are better. The use of the MSX2 colour palette is superb. The SCC tunes are fantastic. The playability is far superior than the one of its precessor. The box of the game is very nice and comes with a complete and detailed users manual. The only noticable con is that the game is not fast, but this can be avoided playing the game on a MSXturboR computer (or MSX emulator with MSXturboR support) holding the SHIFT key while booting (the game will start in R800 mode).
I recommend to you all to play the excellent English version of this game made by Takamichi Suzukawa and Maarten ten Huurne with the collaboration of other people.

Quite a few forums i've been on have mentioned remakes of the first two metal gears (metal gear & metal gear 2 snakes revenge) but the two are almost the same plus it's the same sorta story line in metal gear solid 2. I quote ocelot "Solidus, you and the boy (raiden) were chosen because your relationship represents that of Big Boss and solid snake"
by Ollie | 1 decade ago
The whole complexity of the story is about the relationship between the Boss and Big Boss (when Naked snake kills the boss) the Boss' quote "one must live, one must die" the same as when Solid Snake kills Big Boss. This carries on onto MGS1 sort of when Solid kills Liquid but then the one which was a bit off-plot is Raiden's relationship with Solidus. (It's just might be coinsedenced but Big Boss and Raiden have the same name Jack.)
by thomas | 1 decade ago
(continued)he was just trying to forfill the boss's mission and die for his country
it is a bit like what the boss acually did die for her country and go down in the history books as a war criminal... so theres ur answer :)
oh but the boss's mission works when she dies but the big boss's mission doesnt (because of snake) that the only difference between the boss's mission ans the big bosses
oh and the big boss gave himself that mission
by thomas | 1 decade ago
big boss doesnt turn evil exactly he creates fox hound for a reason... to protect the earth from terorists but when everybody heres about the destruction of what metal gear can do they have doubts so they send solid snake in to stop it.
but nobody understands big boss and he doesnt wanna die when snake attacks him so he defends him self and in the nxt game snake kills him and when hes dieing in his hands he tells him what he was trying to do... big boss isnt a bad guy

(Contined) I have only ever heard the stories. I don`t those games ever made into europe so I will ever play them. But worry,everyone I have a great plan. It would not surpise me if konmai were to remake those two games for the playstation 3 in the near future. That`s right remake both those two titles, Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for Playstation 3. That would a great idea. They did with MGS1 on the gamecube with twin snakes so they could easliy do it with these two titles. Not only will it have better graphics but also voice acting as well and finally hear what Big Boss voice would sound like then. I would not be surpiesd if konmai are already planning this as they have comfined Metal Gear Solid 4 will be released in the future. After that`s compled they remake those two prepuels for PS3. Sounds like a great idea does`nt it. Cos komani have already thougt of ideas for future MGS games but they ain`t thougt of this yet i am suggesting it to them now. Cos lots of fans would love this to happen contine the story of Big Boss and find out how he turned evil and also Solid Snake`s past and thier battles as father and son.

Hi everybody,
Possible explanation for Big Boss's change of hard. During operation Snake Eater, Snake / Big Boss is confronted with the fact that people like him and his mentor; the Boss (not to confuse with Big Boss himself) have always and will always be used by politicians and leaders for their skills as a soldier; they are considered 'weapons'
Once they have served their purpose the people in power have not a problem with discarding them.
People such as Big Boss and later Grey Fox could never truly fit into normal society as they have been changed by War, that is when they feel at their best as their skills are important there.
In a way Big Boss's story is a tragic one, his fall from grace due to the manipulation of others

yea thats a real good question, why does big boss turn evil after snake eater??

Hey everyone...does anybody know to run the MSX and Metal Gear 2 : Solid Snake? i really want to play that game reallllllly bad being a huge fan of metal gear yourself's you should know how i feel...email me telling me how to run them both or a site that can help me out.

by A.G | 1 decade ago
Metal Gear(1995)-You play as Solid Snake,a rookie foxhound member hired by the commander-in-chief of FOXHOUND,Big Boss.Big Boss asks Snake to infiltrate Outer Heaven,an armed fortress in Africa,to rescue Gray Fox,the best soldier in Foxhound,Gray Fox's last words were "Metal Gear...".Snake infiltrates Outer heaven,and fins weapons and equipment to solve puzzles and to sneak past unnoticed.He rescues Gray Fox,and Gray fox tells snake that he has to rescue a scientist called Pettrovich,because they are forcing him to create a Metal Gear.So Snake rescues him.Later on,Snake defeats the Metal Gear(a walking battle tank),then he sees Big Boss.Big Boss screams "you have gone too far,too far!",Snake finds out that big boss was the leader in Outer Heaven,and he was just using Snake to confuse the "west".Then Big Boss tells Snake that he is his son,after that,snake succesfully kills Big Boss,and escapes Outer Heaven.
Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake(1999)-A scientist (forgot his name)invented a microorganism called "oilix" because there was a lot of energy loss in the world,and oilix was supposed to preserve energy(something like that),when everyone was hoping for Oilix,the scientist dessapears,the name "Zanzibar land" appeared.The commander of FOXHOUND,Roy Campbell, tells Solid Snake(foxhound member)to infiltrate Zanzibar Land and rescue the scientist that created oilix.Snake succesfully infiltrates zanzibar land.Later,He finds the body of the scientist ,with Dr. Petrovich besides him.Petrovich tells snake that they were being forced to create a new Metal Gear,and that the leader of Zanzibar land is Big Boss,the man that was suposedley killed by snake in outer heaven.Then snake gets a call,and he is told that Petrovich is working on the new metal gear on his own will.Then snake is attacked by Petrovich,but snake easily kills him.later,snake encounters the metal gear,wich was being controlled by his best friend,Gray Fox.After that,snake takes on Zanzibar's best mercenaries.Later,he encounters the metal gear,Snake succesfully destroys it,then he fights Gray Fox,hand-to-hand only,in the middle of a mine field,Snake wins.After that,Snake encounters Big Boss (i think this is when he tells him that he is his son,im not sure)Snake kills him,and escaepes Zanzibar land.
Ill write the rest later.

I live in America. While we got this game on our NES (the MSX was never released in America, nor were its later versions), this game was never released here. Instead we were given an American created sequel entitled "Snake's Revenge", which a lot of Metal Gear devotees didn't like. It's unfortunate that America never got to play the true sequel to the original Metal Gear.

I live in America. While we got this game on our NES (the MSX was never released in America, nor were its later versions), this game was never released here. Instead we were given an American created sequel entitled "Snake's Revenge", which a lot of Metal Gear devotees didn't like. It's unfortunate that America never got to play the true sequel to the original Metal Gear.
