To our knowledge, the only game is Metal Gear on the NES. Pretend that it's 1988, and we don't live in Japan. But forget about all that for just one moment. The Nerd: The point is, today, Metal Gear is a franchise. Today, there's so many Metal Gear Solid sequels and so many versions of each game, it's outta control. It was also the first one to utilize 3D environments, first-person views and cinematic elements. But it was the first one that most people played, because it was on the PlayStation. Metal Gear Solid was basically the third in the series. But again, it was on the MSX2, so unless you lived in Japan, chances are, you weren't aware of it at the time. So, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake was the first true sequel. The original game's developer, Hideo Kojima, wasn't involved in either of the NES versions.
But that was only a sequel to the NES version. The Nerd: Well, if you wanna get technical, the first sequel was Snake's Revenge. Couldn't they have come up with a title that sounded different? Like, which one's the real 2? There was Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, and Metal Gear Solid 2. The Nerd: There were so many sequels it gets confusing, maybe even " Chronologically Confusing".

And his full name is "Solid Snake"? Might as well just be "Erect Cock". I always think of Snake from Escape from New York or the wrestler Jake the Snake. Snake would become one of the classic video game characters, and of course it was one of the most popular names of the 80's, next to Michael. It was an epic, revolutionary idea, and it paved the way for the stealth genre. Instead of running up and killing everybody, it was all about getting by undetected.
It was about survival, rather than blunt force. It was called Metal Gear, and it was a fresh new idea.
The Nerd: But then came along a game on the Japanese home computer, the MSX2. You see somebody, you pump their motherfuckin' ass full of lead! Kill everybody on the screen! Don't let anybody live! That's what games were all about. The Nerd: If they move, kill 'em! Yeah, shoot 'em! Shoot 'em! That's what ya do. Metal Gear - Angry Video Game Nerd - Episode 67
