message: Not sure that the two articles should be merged, OH certainly deserves its own page as its referenced by so many of the games(to different degrees). John.n-irl 14:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: In the cover art of the game, Snake was designed after actor Michael Biehn. The illustration is almost an exact reproduction from a shot from the first Terminator film. Given Biehn's popularity as an actor at the time of release and the popularity of the movies he had made at the time (Aliens, The Terminator), this idea is not too far-fetched, as Konami clearly would have seen the advantage of placing a popular character actor on the cover of a game which, if made into a movie, would clearly fit Biehn's typical roles.
Sounds an awful lot like whomever wrote this is trying to convince the reader, rather than simply give them the facts. Have any of the MGS staff ever confirmed that Biehn was the person they based Snake upon? Is this fact, or speculation? - Hayter 15:00, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just created and uploaded a side-by-side photo/box art comparison to the page. I agree that the writer of the original submission sounded like he was trying too hard, and I almost deleted most of it, since the comparison really speaks for itself. This is a case where you don't need an official confirmation from the original creators; all the proof you need is right there. There are far too many specific elements from the photo that appear in the box art for it to be coincidence. Druff 17:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Actor?

message: I'm a bit surprised there is no mention on this game's infamous Engrish moments. I feel asleep! The truck have started to move! 81.240.49.65 15:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, the Engrish is certainly worth noting, particularly considering that those two lines you mentioned are somewhat famous. Perhaps not as much as "A winner is you", and certainly not as much as "All your base are belong to us", but notable nonetheless. I added it into the article, though perhaps clumsily. - furrykef (Talk at me) 16:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone seems intent on keeping the images of the character's faces off this page. Might I ask why? Village Baka 00:15, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It might be (I haven't checked) the liscencing. Some wikipedians use robots to remove links to images that have sub-standard source notes. Whilst in theory this is good, it means if an image is being used where the uploader simply didn't know how to add the correct tag, the image link gets broken even if it's okay to use the image. This seems likely, as I can't remember any of the images here being overly questionable. - Hayter 16:50, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

===Release Date===
Please change the release date to July 12th, 1987.   That was the date that was confirmed by two separate Metal Gear books, Countdown to MGS3 and Metal Gear Solid Naked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MuZemike (talk • contribs) July 11, 2008
:Uuhm, I have played the actual game way back. The screenshot in this article is too dark compared to the real thing. I have edited it to appear more like the original but i wasn't able to upload it here so yall gonna have to do without. What i did was use photoshop->Image->Adjustments->Levels... There i dragged the middle arrow untill its value was around 1.20. This made it look much better and way closer to the original. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MuZemike (talk • contribs) July 11, 2008

thread_title:  Doubt anyone will see this post 

message: Someone has went ahead and added the explanation for Big Boss' survival in MG2 casually in the plot synopsis for this one (spoiler: it's about the body double).
Should this be removed? A plot spoiler for a future entry shouldn't be in this in my opinion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.149.126.221 (talk) 12:22, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No it shouldn't. It's a retcon, pure and simple. There was no body double twist planned when Metal Gear was released in 1987 and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake had a different explanation for Big Boss surviving the events of the original game. The Venom Snake revelation is only relevant to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and it's absurd to pretend that it has any importance to the original Metal Gear from the perspective of a stand-alone work, as if Kojima had the whole twist in mind for over 28 years.
