Metal Gear Solid LCD: Handheld of Freedom
masterledz \| 9:27 PM on 05.28.2008	9 comments

It's T minus 2 weeks until Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is released. Get nostalgic by witnessing how far the series has evolved since the days of...*ahem*...this.

This video is footage of the Tiger handheld electronic LCD game Snake's Revenge released in 1990 shortly after the NES version by the same name. The quality makes it very hard to see what is actually going on, but the audio is entertaining in itself.

Believe it or not, this craptastic LCD version has a story. In this alternate timeline of the MGS series, the infamous Colonel Vernon CaTaffy, a crazed terrorist with delicious sugary candy for a last name, gives the secrets for "Metal Gear II" to Higharolla Kockamamie, leader of Fortress Fanatic.

Yes, that's right. Higharolla Kockamamie.

Heh, that's pretty cool. But two weeks seems to be too long a wait for some ;)

Old Snake had to get his picture taken for his driver's license renewal sometime. LOL

about me
You're all noobs; GTFO. Or stay to become enlightened by all the Master has to offer. Are you a nay-sayer of the Master's teachings? An Unbeliever? Blasphemer? Douchebag? Just read these satisfied pupils' unsolicited testimonials... Do what that person said, he is wise. /\ -Neonie For the record, nobody.... and I repeat nobody, breaks in noobs to the forums like Masterledz. If he hasn't appeared with his ominous warning, you have to ask yourself if you've really joined Destructoid. -Gameboi Truer words were never spoken, Master. -coonskin05 Masterledz? Internet famous? HA! -backflip10019 There you have it folks; the Master has spoken. Oh, and one other thing; I like semicolons.
