"That's it. I remember. Running in circles. Do you remember Snake? The feel of battle? The clashing of pixels and beeping?"

[@filipeflower]

"Running in squares" in this case.

[@desktorp]

filipeflower Circles were square back then.

[@filipeflower]

***** Unless you're using extra pixels in the corners.

[@walterzx230]

"All these squares makes a circle, All these squares makes a circle"

[@DKFan4Life]

"I fought Gray Fox bare-handed in a minefield." *flashback* Gray Fox runs around in circles while Snake punches him in the side of the head. Legit.

[@fevermario]

This video is from 2006...... and it''s not recorded with unregistered hypercam 2.... and the audio isn't distorted all to hell... and it actually plays at a decent framerate...... WHAT IS THIS SORCERY!?!?

[@HannesHansen]

And all I did was I used the emulators crappy built-in recording feature, lol. This video did fall victim to KZbin's 10 minute limit back then though. And man, I can't believe this video is over 10 years old now. So many Metal Gear disappointments since then.

[@francesco3772]

Just a couple, TPP was a mistake.

[@magefox_]

You know what is even more of a mistake? Metal gear Survive.

[@cronoesify]

@@francesco3772 only because we never did get a proper end with Liquid piloting Metal Gear. Man, this series never could surpass Liquid as a villain. Even as a kid, he was a force.

@@cheefqueef6494 i agree. played the 3 IPs and mgs aged well for modern eras

[@pedro7g5]

"Whoever wins, the battle will no end. The loser shall be freed from the Battlefield, but the winner stays. He´ll be a warrior until his death". I believe that this is what The Boss Said to Big Boss when she was defeated in Russia, in MGS3 Snake Eater.

[@JacOfAllTrades.]

I love the idea that by the rules of Metal Gear’s gameplay, between then and now, THIS is what hand-to-hand combat between two masters of CQC looked like, and I can imagine hand-animated flashbacks to this fight looking exactly like the systema-style striking and throwing that MGS3 had.

I fucking died laughing at this 🤣

[@llanbull]

Now I know why Grey Fox says "hurt me more on mgs1". He let's snake punches him while he walks all around on this game. lol.

[@bakers2366]

He enjoys it

[@MichaelMitchell-nn2ig]

I kinda had to laugh when he exploded after they were being all emotional.

[@kledder2]

What makes it even weirder is that he returns in metal gear solid.

[@RedTigerDragoon]

[CARTRIDGE TAKEN]

[@filipeflower]

That happens to every Boss in this game.

[@TheSkully343]

Except Dr Madnar who just laid down on the floor

[@filipeflower]

***** Holy crap, I just noticed that now! (maybe he got blown off screen, who knows)

[@HannesHansen]

Back when they made this game, he wasn't even Snake's dad.

[@kos2919]

To be fair since he's a clone it's more like a twin brother.

[@theoneitself]

@@kos2919 he is saying that not in any of the two first games the Cloning and Genome thing is mentioned, thus, Snake being his clone was just mentioned only since the Metal Gear Solid saga, not here.

[@9erMatthew]

lol so all this time, Big Boss was actually none other than Sean Connery?

[@petersierra9422]

XD

[@TechNoirMK]

>"He's the guy who never misses" >Fox can't stop hitting the air DOUBLE LOL

[@affinite1]

that room looks waay to small to be a minefield

[@balanceherosmt7170]

Fox intentionally planted it to guarantee either of them dies

[@Sparrows1121]

Yeah. I was seriously thinking hearing it in MGS1 that it took place in a desert or something. Which sounded tense to imagine.

[@Mimeblade]

Running around the room and JABBING ONCE in random directions! THIS IS HOW MEN SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES!

[@TechnoSyndro]

It's funny how the fist fight seems pretty underwhelming after hearing about Snake and Gray Fox having a battle to the death in a mine field when Snake talks about it in MGS1, but since Metal Gear 2 actually came first there's no reason it should have to be held up to the hype that MGS1 retroactively built around it. Would be really cool to see it redone in a Fox Engine remake of Metal Gear 2.

[@Rizzawriter]

Imagine this fight with today's graphics and battle mechanics. Needs to be done.

[@Joshua_N-A]

Snake Eater mechanics or GoTP mechanics?

[@Rizzawriter]

​@Joshua N. Ajang forget my previous comment. Change it to MGS3 MECHANICS. Lol

[@AL-lz6px]

A lot of people want remakes of the first two games, which I'd love.

[@adamxero]

I so hope this and it's prequel game are re-made on the PS4 can you imagine having a Solid Snake vs Gray Fox battle on the new Fox engine graphic system.

[@KyoFoxfire]

Mel Gibson vs. Sean Connery, who will survive

[@Mikemic2218]

Actually its stallone.

[@ilikepigeons6101]

So snake beating Fox up was enough to turn him into a cripple then a cyborg. Don't mess with the same guy who punched through walls

[@balanceherosmt7170]

They were fighting in a minefield, MGS1 later mentioned that Fox got blow up to pieces on a landmine and the Patriots took whatever was left of him to convert him into a cyborg

[@Abon666]

If this game was released outside of Japan on a more popular console and got a faithful port and translation this would probably be remembered as a classic.

[@memberofchat2825]

well i remember as a classic

[@rosenamajunas1159]

If any game deserves a remake is this

[@Luinedhel111]

The Metal Gear boss was a lot better than the actual Big Boss battle where you just ran around looking for a lighter and a spray can to make a flamethrower.

[@CaveManCobb]

If I'm remembering correctly he is modeled after the actor Tom Berenger, then in later re-released versions of the game Yoji Shinkawa redesigned all the characters to make them unique.

[@lonelychameleon3595]

“We fought bare-handed in a minefield.”

[@TheSterMan01]

“If you can defeat Gray Fox, you’re the greatest Mercenary in the world!” *_punch_* *_punch_* *_punch_* *_punch_* *_punch_* *_punch_*

[@arsnakehert]

Damn, I read both Snakes's and Fox's lines with their voices from MGS 1. XD

[@2410jrod]

Man they should remake this for PS4 with new graphics it would be so much fun

[@Joshua_N-A]

I'd imagine a MGS4 mechanics, like the Snake vs Ocelot duel.

[@Mugen123456789]

I just love how all of these ideas for these games existed in times of low quality gaming! It's astounding. Even with the Metal Gear screaming when it's legs are hurt just like the gekko in mgs4. Or the codec messages. Its all so great! How did they come up with this stuff!

[@Resimaster]

Wow, the last time we see Gray Fox before he becomes the Cyborg Ninja. Incredible story.

[@TheSupernaxon]

Dynamic CQC

[@foxshock5571]

@shadowshinobi06 CQB?

[@foxshock5571]

@shadowshinobi06 Oh, okay Thanks. ^^

[@jacobwells9207]

In MGS1, Snake told Naomi he fought Fox in the middle of a minefield, so where was the minefield?

[@Aivottaja]

The mines were surrounding the room they were fighting in. Notice the blinking dots in the map.

[@sendylie1774]

Rekt in Pixels, Tom Berenger.

[@Noondroid]

Remember the basics of CQC. up, left, B, up, left, B, up, left, B

[@ziminaiman]

Hell yeah dude. Snake never mentioned the bit about just standing in one place and punching him as he ran by. He just wanted to make the story sound cool.

[@jucarave]

3:39 the most difficult decision for snake.... throw away his cigarretes XD

[@Mister_BIack]

Walking bipedal nuclear equipped death tank, highest grade of engineering and a threat to every country that exists. Defeated by taking grenades to the legs.

[@HannesHansen]

You've propably played the Subsistence version. They changed the character artworks so that they'll fit in with the later MGS designs.

[@HannesHansen]

Back when they developed this game, that part of the storyline wasn't made up yet. Same reason why he doesn't have an artificial arm or a hook arm or whatever. The stories in these games are made up as they go along.

[@TalkSickMass]

Well, Phantom Pain gave us an answer for MG1.

[@HannesHansen]

I know, they downright traced Sean Connery's face, just like they did with all the other character portraits in the game, it's just that like half the comments for this video are already pointing that out.

[@AudioXVNVXTheNightLife]

i just grabbed all the metal gear ost's, the music in this particular game is awesome!!

[@broden4838]

Snake: It can't be... You were killed in Zanzibar...! (Gray Fox has another episode of severe nerve pains)

[@Vadim_Slastihin]

Just beat this game . This was last mg game that i havent beat. And now i understand that mgs V final twist makes even less sence, because if you contact Kesler during fight with Big Boss, he will say that some eastern block despot revive BB with the help from doc Madnar. It is stupid, sure. But we allready has explanation about how BB was able to survive after events of Outer Heaven incident. That makes final twist of mgs V even lesser valuable. IMHO.

[@balanceherosmt7170]

It was stated to be a false rumor about Big Boss getting cybernetics from his injuries when it fact, Venom had a cybernetic arm. Also, that was meant to be a reference to Snatcher.

[@OscarMemo333]

sean connery as big boss lol

[@dillonkinder9296]

It’s sad what Gray Fox went through before Shadow Moses

[@spikehamer2]

who just does not love the seizures after trowing the grenade?

[@balanceherosmt7170]

No. He's no father of anyone

[@lateefrobinson7394]

Well thank christ for PS1 cause that rematch was epic lol

[@JohnHassink]

+Lateef Robinson This was epic when we played it on our MSX machines, too. :-)

[@lateefrobinson7394]

+John Hassink never had MSX

[@JohnHassink]

Lateef Robinson I didn't suppose you did. ;-) I found the rematch on PS1 very cool, too. Goes to show how much gaming specs evolved in such relatively short time, right?

[@lateefrobinson7394]

John Hassink yea they were 8 years apart but if you are true fan of the series you know a remake is coming for the first 2 games

[@JohnHassink]

Lateef Robinson Actually I'm not 100% sure about that, dude. Though I'm certain, that if it happens, it'll be without the collaboration of Kojima. Which, I'll have to admit, wouldn't stop me from buying the damn thing anyway. Who knows, it might even help Konami overcome their crisis, even though they apparently have expressed intending to slowly move away from doing 'console' games alltogether.

[@laliluleloson]

It was announced along with a concept picture of older Big Boss with his cape next to a hound.

[@wildwolf2003]

Thank you so much Metal Gear Means so much to me

[@L7vanmatre]

I don't know what version this is, I think it's some sort of emulator because I played this game on the Legacy collection and Snake and pretty much everyone on codec looks completely different...

[@filipeflower]

This is the original MSX2 version.

[@L7vanmatre]

filipeflower You sure? I played it from the Legacy Collection (as I said before lol) and it looks very different...

[@HannesHansen]

themeanminecraftman This is the original MSX2 version as in, it's a rom of the original copy, played on an MSX emulator. The port included in MGS3 Subsistence changed a few things, such as the character portraits and a few names.

[@filipeflower]

HannesHansen And they also added other features, such as the infinity bandana and Boss Survival.

[@HannesHansen]

filipeflower Most importantly, they got rid of the horrible slowdown that plagued most of the original game.

[@HannesHansen]

If you're using BlueMSX: F1 = Pause F2 = Select weapon F3 = Inventory F4 = Codec F5 = Save/Load N or M = Punch Space = Shoot N/M + Space = Crouch

[@javiskatezone]

Kojima should remake this two first Metal Gear in the new Gen consoles it'd be freaking awesome

[@filipeflower]

'Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes' is only available for Nintendo-related machinery. Hideo Kojima wants to expand a remake of the first MGS onto other consoles.

[@KingPanthro]

If you put the cursor on the screen when it flashes white during the mech battle, you can see a square around the cursor.

[@Ragitsu]

This is history...and some people want to erase/re-write it.

[@Vnix]

"now i remember, That Punch!"

[@filipeflower]

I didn't say he stepped on those (even though several people claim that). In case you haven't noticed, there are mines scattered around that field (they appear as white dots on radar). You can avoid touching those (and apparently Gray Fox avoids those too). According to a certain information source I read, these "explosions" you see whenever a Boss enemy dies in this game was Hideo Kojima's way of paying tribute to the Sentai live-action series (such as JetMan, for example).

[@miguel0523]

LONG LIVE METAL GEAR!!!

[@laliluleloson]

It does. It was announced, as in commonly known. I didn't get it from a particular source, I just saw it around the internet a lot.

[@jakandratchet9930]

I also like the fanfare music or whatever it's called that's used when Snake arrives in that secret lair, I just wish it was somehow included in the soundtrack. Luckily at one point after Gustava's death, it played whenever I played music on the codec

[@MetalGearN30]

No Soliton radar isn't affecting the game's engine though which is what we were talking about. The top down camera view, the control system, the way you run into a wall and Snake, Raiden or Snake would instantly flatten his back to it all similar in MGS1, MGS2 and MGS3 as they were the trilogy.

[@adalstan]

man this game was cutting edge too. One of my all times.

[@CNe7532294]

gotta love that classics too besides The metal gear series looked and played pretty good for their time

[@filipeflower]

That's what re-releases are for.

[@HannesHansen]

It's propably because the new ones look closer to what we're used from MGS. I suppose that's the reason why they changed them in the first place. The redrawn character portraits were first used in the japanese re-release of MG2 for Mobile Phones in 2004.

[@FreakGerm]

And now we have Metal Gear Rising...

[@zombiefriend]

it bewilders me that so many ppl didnt even realize there were 2 MG games before the MGS series

WOW Metal Gear has come a long way

[@Thevariantspace]

"IF YOU DEFEAT HIM, YOU WILL BE THE BEST MERCENARY...IN THE WORLD, over" Also fox totally walked into about 50 of those punches to the face.....he had it comin.

[@thunderclan101]

Metal Gear has come a long way

[@chavkill1]

I'd love a remake of this game

[@sommi888]

In case anybody is wondering: The new Kojima game 'Metal Gear Ground Zeroes' gameplay demo JUST got released. In it, the main 'villain' boss guy is a BURNT figure man. The burnt figure man is actually Frank Jaegar (Gray Fox). You can see from 3:00 onwards Frank is on fire and burning. This just ties in the story. :)

[@XCandyman19]

@DBDarkness they did, the mines were on the outer edge of the room along the walls.

[@SolidMike84]

@peleking352 He was a pastiche of contemporary action movie heroes: Michael Biehn (MG cover), Mel Gibson (in game portrait in MG2SS) and was named after Snake Plissken (EFNY)

[@HannesHansen]

You're absolutely right about Campbell and Fox is Tom Berenger.

[@RazorEdge2006]

It was state-of-the-art back in the 8-bit days...

[@charliebaker1427]

damn why yhat dialogue hit so different in text form woth that music

[@GabarytCWL]

That's some impressive CQC

[@Chernobog2]

@HannesHansen by hard to play i meant they had a very different feel compared to later games in the series, so some people may find it hard to believe it's the same series.

[@HannesHansen]

You have to press N or M and space simultaniously.

[@EndingE]

The music when grey fox was dieing/talking to snake was kick ass

[@KajidaKitsune]

Nice video, btw. This game looks good.

[@kornflakes89]

Yes, he was designed to look like Sean Connery, the same way the box art for Metal Gear 1 was designed to look like Kyle Reese from The Terminator.

[@SGTcrackey666]

Filipeflower Im glad you finally av admited your pain :) sorry bout the dog

[@maziku4749]

when i first saw screens of snake eater i thought maybe they were remaking the first metal gear until finally more info was released at E3 saying it took place in the 60's

[@tataso]

this game is a Legend

[@Geckotr]

i thought they fought on a minefield. That's what Cyborg Ninja told in MGS. I normally don't like remakes but i really want to see the Metal Gear 1 and 2 in Fox Engine

[@alejandro10751]

Well, it is tecnically a mine field

[@Gangnam-man]

The ROM cartridge had a built-in sound chip called SCC. All Konami games since Gradius2 used SCC.

[@MrGrimfacade]

"It's a shame that some puzzles are hard to figure out" seriously i have to be the one to call you out on that?

[@JiMMyJaM08061991]

no,this was based on tht film,campbelle was based on the general frm rambo. and for some reason the insparation for big boss's character was sean connery

[@karrotgold]

@hitamanda He played James Bond in Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, and Diamonds are Forever. He also played Henry Jones Sr. in Indiana Jones: Last Crusade. He has also been in The Rock and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

[@Resimaster]

"You wont be alone. Natasha waits for you on the other side". Oh man, its tragic.

[@vanpiisu88]

This fight would look pretty awesome with fox engine graphics. I hope they remake this :).

[@XCandyman19]

@DBDarkness they did, the mines are along the walls and they only explode when snake steps on them, (not grey fox though, godmodder :D) but one supposedly explodes on and cripples fox after snake escapes.

[@jakandratchet9930]

3:15 the music is played at the right time it fits snakes situation

[@ClassicToonFan64]

Thanks for the video.

[@Vampier]

Read the information with the video: MSX

[@Ragitsu]

Preach it, brother.

[@navylaks2]

they should remake the old classic Metal Gear in MGS stile, because they talk alot about the events of Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land in those games
