Now that Snake is part of the Nintendo SSBB game its time to go back and look for some of my old Metal Gear art works, I drew this back in 98 one year after the release of MGS for the old PS1. I LOVE the old Metal Gear game for the old NES and MSX2 and I still have them in my collection. On the image you'll see some key Characters, from Left to right: Kyle Schneider. Frank Jaeger (Grey Fox) - the one whos tided up. Solid Snake. Jennifer. Diane. Big Boss. Enemy Soldier. And yes Metal Gear Tank on the backdrop. As you can see its title Metal Gear 1987 because the very first Metal Gear game was made in 87 for MSX2 then later NES/Famicom. Then in 88 the US version was out. MG games I have: Metal Gear for NES - www.mobygames.com/game/nes/metal-gearMetal Gear for MSX2 - www.mobygames.com/game/msx/metal-gearMetal Gear for MS DOS - www.mobygames.com/game/dos/metal-gearMetal Gear for Commodore 64 (Thats RIGHT C64 its that old) - www.mobygames.com/game/c64/metal-gear

Great Artwork atariboy, looks like the official artwork! Although Big Bosses eye patch is on his right eye canonically (is that even a word) anyway its very nice! Do you actually have all those MG games physically? They are quite rare now...

Cool stuff. I've always loved how Snake looks so totally different post-MGS I'd love to have a go at updating the old artwork with modern designs. I've had a go at a couple of Nintendo pieces recently, and it would be quite a fun and tough project ;D

Cool! I love the classic "Kyle Reese" Snake design. It's way better than the current version. And check out that pink 80's hair on Diane! Very nice, atariboy!

Haha, I love that. Very nice aside from Big Boss' eye. Did you do one for Metal Gear 2? Would love to see that.
And I love the Outer Heaven Snake. Action star based characters were a plus, also it was great to see Snake wear that uniform again in MGS2.
