Recently in Brazil we MSXers had some quarrelling with one or two game
magazines, when they prepared articles about Metal Gear Solid. They were
saying that Snake's Revenge (something similar to Metal Gear 1 - it isn't
Metal Gear, it can't be!) was the predecessor to Metal Gear Solid. However,
we've some friends who are Brazilian like us and lives in Japan, and they
read in MGS's manual something like that:
Chronology:
Metal Gear 1 - MSX 2 - 1987
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake - MSX 2 - 1989
Metal Gear Solid - PSX - 1998
And... Snake's Revenge, from NES, ISN'T a game from MG chronology, it was
an attempt from Ultra Games to do something similar to Metal Gear to the NES.
Finally, the people from the magazines were sorry 4 the mistake (they
don't read manuals!), but they hadn't done any correction. So, all
brain-washed readers thought that Metal Gear Solid were a sequence to that
s**t called Snake's Revenge.
Dammit!
Only MSX have that playability...
