[TAS] NES Snake's Revenge by Dammit in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1.... TAS originally published on 2008-08-12.
In a not-so-canonical sequel to Metal Gear (tasvideos.org/2..., Solid Snake returns with newfound abilities to stop his own bullets, take minor damage to avoid major damage, and use cans of tuna to replenish his breath while underwater.
For those interested, the author has provided a Lua script (pastebin.com/qp...) that allows you to view the HP of enemies, bomb timers, hostages rescued, and body count when using FCEUX to play the movie.

my first and favorite metal gear game. Played this growing up, when i finally beat it felt like i accomplished the impossible

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

I know this is like the black sheep of the Metal Gear series, but you gotta admit it has REALLY good music.

[@rcslyman8929]

It had a great sound track. Honestly, the two NES games, I kinda considered as Metal Gear Pt 1 and Pt 2. Obviously, Metal Gear was the full adaptation and Snake's Revenge had no counterpart from the official games, but it really just expounded on the original game. Not to mention that it actually had Metal Gear in it, where the original NES Metal Gear didn't.

​@@rcslyman8929 It's definitely one of those things where I understand people's complaints with it, like 100% but I still don't think it's enough to make it a bad game. To me it's like how Resident Evil 5 is a great coop action-shooter but a terrible Resident Evil game: Snakes Revenge might be a bad Metal Gear game, but it's a good NES action game.

[@rcslyman8929]

@@ScrambledAndBenedict That's the thing, though. It really wasn't a bad Metal Gear game. The bitchfest was because Kojima wasn't involved in any way. At the time? My friends and I enjoyed the hell out of it. We had no we idea about MSX, all we knew was the NES. MGS wouldn't be out for years. That was the story as far as anyone knew, and it was honestly better than the original game, right up until the big end reveal.
I got to go back later and play the real MG2:SS, and we obviously missed out in the States. But yeah, at the time, it was a damned good sequel.

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

@@rcslyman8929 Fair enough. It wasn't until years later that happened for real. Guys like us were like "Not having Kojima involved doesn't make it a bad game!" and Metal Gear Survive was like "Hold my Pachinko machine"

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

@hawaiidkw I honestly have played it through, and I can genuinely say it's probably one of the better games on the NES. The music is really good, and the graphics and controls are above average for the time, and the stealth aspect is decently done for an NES-era game. I'd honestly put it on par with the first NES Metal Gear, maybe even a little higher since it actually features Metal Gear as a boss. There's actually not a whole lot that it does that other Metal Gears ("real" or otherwise) don't do, to be honest.

I actually liked this game as a kid, it was fairly tough to beat

[@Deimos_Fresh]

I guess I was a little too absorbed into herd's way of thinking that this game is trash. It's surprisingly varied with new ideas and restored missing features from MSX version of MG1 and what was reused looks almost not so random unlike MSX version. I don't know what to think Contra-like portions of the game though. It seems to have some questionable design choices as well, which is typical for this style of MG games. I wish I had a chance to play it as a kid. Someday I will at least try it myself.

Metal Gear + Contra + Rush 'N Attack =This.

[@Maestro_Gear]

You forgot Transformers!

[@two_tone_bandit]

This is what it looks like when Snake has absolutely zero patience for any of Big Boss's shit anymore.

[@swipeleft50]

This run made us all look small

[@theecrazyoldgamer8770]

Awesome speed run I loved this back when it came out way back when played the hell out of this & metal gear as well

[@nipz8053]

The guys in 5:35 look like that character from Tyson's Punch Out.🤔

[@mococaboy17]

tas means tool assisted speedrun

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

this game is not as bad as they make it look
and maybe better than main series in some aspect, it's faster action

[@swipeleft50]

This was all bs
