Metal Gear Solid 1 turns 15 today. Here are 15 facts about the game:
http://metalgearsolid.nl/?p=9207When Yoji Shinkawa designed Snake, he looked at the existing character from the MSX games and went from there. Also, he based the character’s face on Christopher Walken, and his body on Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Meryl is able to sneak up on Snake after he tries to find her in the women’s restroom. According to Kojima, she was hidng under the sink basin.
Always did wonder where Meryl was actually hiding. Now I know.
Psycho Mantis decides to help Snake with his last breath. The same way his mother died for him while giving birth. That’s the feeling he remembers at the end of his life.
Now I understand the line change in Twin Snakes (GC) about nostalgia...
Still chasing the high that this game gave me all those years ago. One of my absolute favourite games, ever.
