A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
NES
Snake's Revenge (1990)
Jungle Invasion
Tsutomu Ogura
While not canon (Unless this was maybe MUSCLE SNAKE from yet another part of the confusing storyline) the soundtrack and game were vast improvements from it's NES predecessor.
Best Metal Gear game ever.
Hype music, but non-canon game.
Say what you want about this not being canon. It was still a great game and had an AWESOME OST.
NOT CANON!
2015 snake got his revenge
"I feel asleep!!"
i like how the first metal gear for nes snakes looks like kyle reese on the cover and on this one he looks like michael dudikoff crossed with tom berenger.
Oh god I remember this! I could never get past the first compound, those football guys kicked my ass every time.
pretty much this game must have annoyed him enough to make a real sequel.
Piękne, po dziś dzień mam słabość do tych rytmów ;)
Funny thing is, without this unofficial sequel, Kojima wouldn't have made Metal Gear 2. So, pretty much, without Snake's Revenge, we wouldn't have any other Metal Gear game.
What a coincidence... I started playing metal gear 1, 2 and solid 1 and 2 this week on pc again :p
They were both made by konami. Ultra games, which was the label for the first two TMNT games, was a subsidiary of Konami. Look it up on wikipedia.
Good music track, but the game wasn't even made by Hideo Kojima and is mostly considered a Black Sheep in things listed under Metal Gear. Which reminds me, the NES version of Metal Gear wasn't even a faithful port even. Also worth mentioning that I do have Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge on NES. Both games are a bit of a challenge.
Fun fact, look at all of Konami's old covers and they heavily reference or just flat out take designs straight from movies(Castlevania may be the exception), this especially goes for the Metal Gear games and Contra being the most obvious.
Dear god, we've come a long way with MGS....
Metal Gear you mean. Metal Gear Solid is its own series.
Love it. Its got that classic Konami sound
I remember this theme! And really, only this theme. Because I also remember being bloody TERRIBLE at this game.
gotta love that bit-boop!
yooo i had this game back in the day.i never noticed this was like the origin of metal gear solid til now. im still not sure but i mean come on konami made it
Never stop doing these videos.
I think Hideo Kojima has said he preferred Snake's Revenge to Metal Gear's NES port.
I'm not one to dispute with fans since i'm just a regular. Whatever you say then. :P
Konami was really good at making NES music.
And just because a game isn't mentioned later doesn't necessarily mean its not cannon
Just because they're reference, doesn't necessarily mean their canon.
:)
The NES games are not considered to be canon in the Metal Gear series. Not officially at least.
Snake's Revenge is not part of the MGS franchise. It wasn't even produced by Kojima. Metal Gear and MG2: Solid Snake, are produced by Kojima. This crap was not, Konami just "borrowed" the name to milk more money out of US customers.

So you're saying "Metal Gear" on NES is better than Snake's Revenge? Ok.
First to fail.
So...what you mean is that if this unofficial sequel to the "sub-par" Metal Gear NES game hadn't of existed, there probably would have never have been Metal Gear 2 in Japan which might of never have resulted in more Metal Gear games in general, including the emotional Metal Gear Solid 4 which is debatebly just as emotional as Mother 3? Is that why?
first
"However, Hideo Kojima, the game designer of the original Metal Gear, was unaware of Snake's Revenge, and decided to develop his own sequel for the MSX2 computer after being informed of the game's creation. The resulting game, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which was released exclusively in Japan only a few months later, is recognized as the canonical sequel to the original Metal Gear, relegating Snake's Revenge to a non-canonical status."
I didn't find this game as bad as some people say. It wasn't as good as Metal Gear though, that's for sure. This game was made for the American and European market after its prequel's success. Here's an interesting snippet from wikipedia which explains why there's also a Metal Gear 2 on the MSX (a much better game) :
