"Snake, get down! The enemy gunship. A single burst from its machine gun could cut a man in half."

[@nikolairagnarov9979]

Mi-24D"Hind"...you must heard about this famous name,for attack helicopter.There's no way to against this bird,unless...try to get FIM-92 "Stinger",it gonna work but you will need to find it first.

[@DarkMar1ne]

0:07 An "OHSHIT" feeling runs through my mind as I hide under a Zanzibar Indestructible Table.

[@ZanzibarBreeze]

Yup, also plays during the Hind D fight, hence the sound of the Helicopter setting off at the start.

[@the21stsergeant]

I fell asleep once on a plane and this came on on shuffle, absolutely shit myself.

[@DaShonuff]

This theme is like Bowsers theme and TMNT NES boss theme had a baby.

[@mathewrynes]

RAY can, quote, "wipe the floor" with REX, as stated in the series. It is indeed a Metal Gear, and it is far more frightening than any of the other ones. It effing swims.

[@Truerussiantigershark]

In 4 Rex beats ray

[@IAmBushid0]

A Hind D? Colonel, what's a russian gunship doing here?

[@barmbailey6934]

0:07 Boss drop beat 🤘

[@VideoGaming4Dummies]

Pretty sick battle theme. (and I mean that in a good way) That fight with Metal Gear D was fun...

[@JeeJ0LeeL]

Don't you mean Hind D?

[@VideoGaming4Dummies]

@@JeeJ0LeeL The Metal Gear of this game was called "Metal Gear D".

[@JeeJ0LeeL]

@@VideoGaming4Dummies oh yeah wrong context

[@crystalalumina]

Metal Gear D was too easy imo, I get they couldn't do much at the time but still

[@rockid7970]

@@crystalalumina Funny thing that they didn't reinforced its legs after the first one

[@solidsnatacon]

«The combat speed of that chopper is roughly 250km an hour, about half the speed of a propeller aircraft, so you can keep it in your sights for a long time. A helicopter is most vulnerable when it's turning. Get into position and shoot it down before its next attack!» « Don't worry about the chopper's shadow. Trust the image on your radar. The chopper is directly above you.»

[@SonicFan3642]

Hard to believe this is on an 8-bit console. This BGM almost sounds 16-bit.

[@cronoesify]

FWIW, the MSX had a fair bit of capability

[@heidibenner1577]

I mean, it was an 8 bit computer console

[@FlameAdder]

I think this showed up in Ghost Babel as the Slasher Hawk battle theme, too.

[@oak_w00d89]

Slightly more challenging then hiding from two cameras under a box

[@xFoxnullx]

Epic music.

[@philosophyversuslogic]

This reminds me of the helicopter and a battle against it. The first battle of mine was a running, but then I got the movements of it and finally destroyed that soviet freak.

[@ManthonyHiggs]

@FlameAdder The normal boss theme actually.

[@VahanNisanian]

Had Metal Gear G and Goliath been accepted as bosses, would this track have been used a couple more times?

[@mr.spider6859]

Seems more likely that G would have been a tough regular enemy rather than a boss.

[@choppergunner8650]

@@mr.spider6859 Metal Gear G could be a boss, not a regular enemy... its size is still too big for it to be a regular enemy, and it was still in assembly line by the time Operation Intrude F014 takes place. I can imagine it where Snake is going through a forest and he stumbles across an unit doing some prototype tests. Then the soldiers on the ground spot Snake and the test pilot turns on the unit. Also it seems a bit poorly armed. Something like a few 12.7mm MGs and a 20mm Vulcan cannon. I can imagine the 12.7mm guns working just like the Metal Gear D's MG and the 20mm cannon, like the Hind. I guess that, since it was a command and control unit, it would have more of an anti-infantry role... The Goliath, now that's interesting. I could imagine a battle where the tank is in the center, surrounded by decrepit buildings. Snake hides behind the buildings, but the tank's main gun destroys the buildings one by one, so Snake has to defeat the boss before all buildings are destroyed and he is left without cover. The tank itself can be destroyed with grenades, just like in MGS1, or with remote control missiles (seeing as the in-game description says that they're M47 Dragon ATGMs). Unfortunately, the game itself has reached the very limits of the MSX2 cartridge, and in-game sprites for MGG have been lost to time, only appearing in a very blurry pic.

[@sgtcreasegrease]

Make a fight sceen to this video it sounds so epic!

[@abeker]

I wonder if this song was composed for SD Snatcher but used in MG2 instead.

[@ZanzibarBreeze]

Quite possibly. I think I’ve read somewhere that MG2 uses music which was initially composed for SD Snatcher

[@BCob66]

I had the exact same reaction the first time I fought it, after it tore into my health bar about two seconds in

[@TheScarface43]

0:24 - 0:37 Best tune ever.

[@darkmessengerofanotherworl2840]

A Hind D??

[@the7saviors276]

This REALLY needs a prog metal cover.

[@FlameAdder]

Cool story, bro.

[@ManthonyHiggs]

@FlameAdder I accidentally an entire Pyro Bison.

[@ManthonyHiggs]

@FlameAdder Actually, it's a little on the sarcastic side.

[@CalciumHunter]

@TVSlave14 OMG WHERE ARE THE DAMN STINGERS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (Notice that Hinds are a staple MG/MGS Boss?)

[@noex100]

And as the helicopter flies in circles for no particular reason...

[@IAmBushid0]

Graphical limits for the time

[@ManthonyHiggs]

@FlameAdder Cool story, bro.

[@derrickpatterson5206]

I wonder if this game is a 16-bit game?

[@derrickpatterson5206]

Yeah you could be right since both the metal gear games were both ported to the Nintendo entertainment system.

[@labratiam1]

No,Only the first one was The 2nd game was a MSX only game and the first one was full of bugs and incomplete

[@FlameAdder]

That's nice.
