Description

"Snake's Revenge" is a video game developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), released in 1990 as a sequel to the immensely popular "Metal Gear." Specifically tailored for the Western audience, the game was designed without the involvement of Hideo Kojima, the original creator of the Metal Gear series. In "Snake's Revenge," players continue the covert operations of Lieutenant Solid Snake as he attempts to thwart a new terrorist plot by the revived Outer Heaven organization, which is in the process of creating a new and more powerful nuclear-equipped walking tank, Metal Gear 2.

The gameplay of "Snake's Revenge" deviates slightly from its predecessor, incorporating a mix of side-scrolling action sections and the top-down stealth sections reminiscent of the original "Metal Gear." This hybrid approach presented new challenges and diversified the gameplay, emphasizing both action-oriented combat and strategic stealth. Although it was not developed by the original team, the game received a positive response for its engaging gameplay and complex narrative. However, it is often overshadowed by "Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake," which was released in Japan around the same time and later recognized by Kojima as the true sequel in the series. Nevertheless, "Snake's Revenge" holds a place in the Metal Gear legacy, appreciated for its attempt to expand on the foundational stealth mechanics that defined its predecessor.
