Imagine you're Big Boss just chillin in your heavily fortified base and you start hearing this song playing in the distance... and it's getting louder and louder.
It's a shame the first two are overlooked. At least this is our boy Solid's theme song. Despite the Metal Gear Solid series afterwards, this song really captures the hero (though he would hate being called such).
"It doesn't matter who wins here. Our fight will continue. The loser will be liberated from the battlefield, and the winner will remain. And the survivor will live out the rest of his days as a soldier" Big Boss, 1999
@@quirkyboyo9102 If you pay attention Big Boss and The Boss both talk about the current political powers of the world (Patriots and Philosophers) creating a system of endless cycle of war, which Venom Snake also nurtured in mgsv. Big Boss's Outer Heaven was meant to be free from that. So in reality Big Boss was never the villain. He's an anti-hero trying to stand against the villains but goes down as a monster for things he didn't do (that venom did) just like The Boss.
@@alexdeghost2729 Everything Venom Snake did was according to Big Boss's plan though, right? I thought the ending to MGS5 was when he realized that he was just a pawn of Big Boss and nothing more.
@@alexdeghost2729 This isn't exactly correct. Big Boss was never against war. His plan in the very game this song is from was to start a cycle of endless war. He was against soldier fighting for powers that saw them as nothing more than tools. He offered a place where they could fight endlessly on their own terms. He was still a bad person who wanted worldwide, endless war. It's simply that this philosophy was inherently counter to the Patriots, so they fought a lot. I still can't say he was an antihero, though. He offered an opposite, but equally bad, world to the Patriots.
I can only imagine how awesome it was for Japanese MSX2 players who played the first to boot this up the first time and be greeted with this intro and song. Goddamn this kicks so much ass.
Just got into the series earlier this week, and I beat Metal Gear 2 for the first time last night. I'll tell you, I was just as blown away by this intro as players must have been in 1990. Seeing the full sprite of Metal Gear D appear after all the wireframe teases made me go "holy shit, this game is gonna be fucking awesome" and I was right. The fight with Gray Fox, Big Boss, and the escape from Zanzibarland is probably one of the best endings to a game I've ever experienced
MSX2 was also very big in the Netherlands and Brazil. I played both Metal Gears back in the day :D My username is based on another big MSX2 game from that era.
@@SeedlingNL Snatcher, I'm guessing? =P But yeah, the MSX also had its fair share of popularity in the Middle East too. Metal Gear was one of the first games I ever played. So it was honestly mindblowing for us when we jumped from 2D Metal Gear to 3D MGS on PS1 (I played the unofficially translated rom of MG2 back in 2000 or so).
For these of you commenting about this "remix": this is not a remix, it's the original theme from the MSX2 version with just a slight filtering. Chiptune greatness!
@@CKT1138 Could be due to sound card differentials. I've noticed, at least on my own setup, that midis sound slightly.... Heavier on my PC as opposed to the original console even though its the same thing.

Once again, we get to experience this legendary retro Metal Gear game. I was absolutely blown away by this intro and the game itself when first playing it, still to this day one of the best retro action/stealth games I’ve ever played
I really hope this theme makes it back in, as well. This is actually my favorite Metal Gear theme among the lot (yes, even beating out Encounter and Snake Eater, but just barely because those songs are so iconic and catchy but this theme has history behind it in addition, y'know?).
@@shinigamimiroku3723 It's back! Although we don't know if its the same song from Brawl or a new mix. www.smashbros.com/en_US/about/index.html if you scroll down to new music you can see it in the list of music that's scrolling
The fact that it sounds just like the main theme from Escape from New York will always make me so happy to be born in that era. You can hear the heavy influence those 80s movies had on Kojima.
I'm picturing Kojima... with his clandestine shenanigans might have had three separate parts of this song worked on by three separate programmers. Then after we gets all the files he assembles them himself and has everyone come to the room and listen to the completed song. Jaws hit the floor and a single tear sheds from everyone's eyes they listen in awe to a level of energetic sound never heard on earth before...
What I'm hoping for is a series of remakes. MGS3/PO/PW, and the unremade V all have the same musical style with songs like or even exactly just Sins of the Father. MG1-MGS4 in the chronology all get intro'd with this.
Your Gay Father If it wasn't for what Konami was doing right now what I think needs to be done for the metal gear franchise is take the scraped concepts of MGSV's chapter 3 and make it a game and then we get a remake of Metal Gear 1 and 2 as a single game called Metal Gear Solid 0
MGS4 had the best music in any MGS game hands down, heck it even had the iPod, so in game you can listen to many Metal Gear tracks. I wish the Walkman/iDroid in Mgsv included Mgs throwback tracks like the iPod did.
Similar to Streets of Rage and Shinobi III, I'm amazed at the fact that music of this "production" and "mixing" quality can be made with just two simple PSG and a FM Synth
Ha totally had to listen to this on the IPod in Metal Gear Solid 4! It was so much fun. What a theme. Love listening to it while killing several guards :D
They really went all the way with accuracy there too, I noticed that the cannon actually ejects shells and only the barrel that's in battery is firing, you just don't see that in retro games
Metal Gear 2's cinematic presentation really makes it feel years ahead of its time. It's almost hard to believe it's a ROM cartridge-based game for a 8-bit home computer.
I'm gonna get skinned alive for this, but for someone who has never played or touched anything Metal Gear and has absolutely zero interest in doing so, I have to say that this is absolutely beautiful.
Then do yourself a favor and just... play 'em. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people around the globe who'd love to be at your place - not knowing this story and to be able to experience it for the first time. Again. It's about honor, about duty, about the horrors of war and the corruption of good intentions. This is Metal Gear.
@@RAIN_2001 the only thing that is better then the Metal Gear Solid games in terms of pure soul-strengthening goodness is The Wonderful 101.

@@artey6671 "What makes you like this more than MGS3?" It's really close, and MGS3 is a great game. I'll try to be as brief as I can about why I like MG2 slightly better. Three main reasons: 1. MGS3 has a painful amount of tutorial. The Virtuous mission has about 45 minutes of talking before you even get to Sokolov if you don't skip anything. 2. MGS3 has a lot of well-made and complicated systems, but a lot of it is clutter. It often feels like "oh I didn't know you could do that", but that's because it doesn't make sense or the game doesn't really tell you. Blowing up a food or ammo storage building instantly makes everyone nearly pass out from hunger or have no extra rifle mags. I get what they were going for, but it still doesn't really make sense. Or like blowing up that one helicopter means you don't get the helicopter patrol later in the game. How is a player supposed to guess that? It's like a game of "guess what number I'm thinking of". I'm not even going to get into the clock method for skipping The End. 3. MG2 gets to the point and lets you engage with the core gameplay. You're sneaking while you explore, you're fighting bosses, you're solving puzzles. Everything moves at a good pace. MGS3 is slow, but not in a good "tension building" way. New players are encouraged to crawl everywhere very slowly and constantly change up their camo (through a very slow menu system). The problem is that the slowness isn't suspenseful because it's too safe. Anyway, MGS3 still stands as a masterpiece to me. But it has more of those little issues than MG2 has.
@@TheMisterGuy Hmm, I kind of agree, but not quite. MGS3 has the menus, yeah, but MG2 also has a fair bit of menu usage if I recall correctly (it's been a while). If you play MGS3 on EE, I'd say it's more suspenseful because getting caught makes you lose the game. And for the cryptic secrets, I really like those. It makes it feel like there's always more to discover and it encourages experimentation. You don't have to guess it. But if you do, chances are you'll feel really smart.
@@artey6671 Like I said, it's just my opinion and it's a really close call. MG2 does have a good amount of menu use, but the game doesn't pause for a full second. I'm also not really considering EE plays, because I'm talking more about the first-time player experience. My reason is that all players of any game have a first play experience, but the vast majority of them will never play through on settings like European Extreme, Master Ninja, Insane, Nightmare, or whatever the over-the-top level is. But still, I'm not even arguing that MGS3 falls short of being a masterpiece. Just that I think MG2 was a little better, a little more polished as an experience. It's a very close call for me.
Cuz mgs1 is much more beloved than these games, not to say that they're so bad they don't deserve one but to me, they're not as memorable as mgs1 due to being on a very old console
@@amaterasumaster8781 Man, look, the reason they arent as loved is because most people didnt get a chance to play them until 2004, it's pretty obvious. These deserve them more than MGS1. Also, rookie cringe? Lmao.

My bad about saying that, but not many people owned an MSX so they couldn't get there hands on this but mgs1 did much better cuz it was more available and despite this game being ahead of its time, mgs1 is just unforgettable and definitely deserves a remake, imo.
Although Kojima has long left Konami and abandoned Metal Gear, I'm sure that someone will eventually come and take his mantle. The post-modern marvel that is the Metal Gear series can't die in the past. Officially every Metal Gear game is set in the past now.
OMG! You know, this gives the vibes of Wonder Woman Gal Gadot theme so much! I can imagine the wrath of solid snake in this piece. The guy has an IQ of 180? He may ask things over, so what stuns me is that this IQ is actually the ''practicality level'' of the knowledge he has!
Adding on to this, It was later released in america in english along with mgs3 subsistance. Also the 2nd nes game(snakes revenge)was not made by kojima, but inspired Kojima to make his own more official and canon sequel which is the game that used this song
+Sarato Mel Gibson? *looks at old photos of him* ... Hm, yeah, I can kinda see the resemblance. As for Big Boss, yeah, definitely see that. Given that Sean is the "Big Boss" of Bond actors, it's no surprise. XD
+Liquid Ocelot Agreed. Just didn't expect it, is all. Been thinking about playing the original Metal Gear games. This theme is actually my favorite theme used in SSB Brawl, but I never got around to playing the old games.
If Metal Gear was a movie back in the 90s I would have picked as actors: - Solid Snake/Mel Gibson - Colonel Campbell/Richard Crenna - Big Boss/Sean Connery - Master Miller/Arnold Schwarzenegger - Holly White/Sharon Stone

"Hermmmm... why do I hear boss music?"
Such a lust for revenge... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Big Boss: Damn you, Ahab -_-
MAJORRRRRR, *I'M BURNING UUUUUUPPPPPP!*
"Ah... son."
*No matter what era of time it is, this song will always sound futuristic and ground breaking.*
Until Metal Gears are actually perfected, and mass produced.
Then the metal gears will be blasting this whist killing millions.... and it will still be as good of a song
Silent Antagonist WE NEED TO BUILD A METAL GEAR! AND A SOLID SNAKE !
*is this how you make bold letters*?
_Exactly_
The music picks up as soon as Kojima's name appears on screen. You know that was intentional.
of course
because

One of my favorite video game themes.
何故だろう？この当時のゲームはオープニングからワクワクさせてくれる。プレイしたことも無いし、今から見れば技術的にも演出にもシンプルなのに
それが、MGS4でスネークの夢だから
どうでも良いけどメタルギア「ソリッド」は開発段階ではメタルギア3だった。
あと、初代メタルギアがでて小島氏は続編は作らない予定で居たが、続編が欲しいと言うプレイヤーが大勢出てきて、パクリ（少し言い方悪いけど）まで出てきた結果、小島氏が続編を作る事を発表し､出来たのがメタルギア2ソリッドスネーク。
I agree.
One of the finest pieces of music from a Video Game.
This is the second best theme in the series. MGS:3 is tough to beat.
MGS 2 theme is probably the best.

OMG! You know, this gives the vibes of Wonder Woman Gal Gadot theme so much! I can imagine the wrath of solid snake in this piece. The guy has an IQ of 180? He may ask things over, so what stuns me is that this IQ is actually the ''practicality level'' of the knowledge he has!
My jam.
Greatest theme of Metal gear ever
凄いなあ、今見ても綺麗なドットだ。名作は色褪せないものだなあ。
this game had the best soundtrack in the whole series
This theme song is amazing! I've never played the NES games but watching them on OuterHeaven, they both have amazing OSTs!
Adding on to this, It was later released in america in english along with mgs3 subsistance. Also the 2nd nes game(snakes revenge)was not made by kojima, but inspired Kojima to make his own more official and canon sequel which is the game that used this song
“This is Snake! I’m down here!”
I jam out to this shit when I'm doing chores
I love that gritty 8 bit! Damn that's a good theme
Happy 30th Birthday Metal Gear 2.
What a nice intro if u think how old this game is
After more than 30 years, this intro still looks incredible
I remember I used to borrow the 512KB ram expansion from a friend and then play this from floppy disk
... The old Solid Snake looks a bit like Sylvester Stallone. o_O;;;
Actually, he is modelled after Mel Gibson. No joke.
Big boss is also modeller after Sean Connery. :)
+Sarato Mel Gibson? *looks at old photos of him* ... Hm, yeah, I can kinda see the resemblance.
As for Big Boss, yeah, definitely see that. Given that Sean is the "Big Boss" of Bond actors, it's no surprise. XD
And who's a better person to model a nuclear armed bad guy on than a guy who stole a nuclear armed submarine
+Liquid Ocelot Agreed. Just didn't expect it, is all. Been thinking about playing the original Metal Gear games. This theme is actually my favorite theme used in SSB Brawl, but I never got around to playing the old games.
Get mgs 3 subsidence if you want to play the original 2
"Not yet, Snake! It's not over yet!"
I love this intro, so awesome.
An absolutely Solid banger
The most viewed section was either for the best part of the entire theme or for that amazing animation of the rotary cannon.
MSX always had some of the best music, even today. Metal Gear 2 really has one of the greatest soundtracks out there.
Big Boss be like 'why do I hear hero music'
Blue Shell Incident?
Yes
METAL GEAR 2
OOLID ONAKEᵗᵐ
Solid*
@@IAmBushid0 Big r/woosh
@@IAmBushid0 Yeah, Onake is perfectly fine, lmao
This is nut-worthy.
If Metal Gear was a movie back in the 90s I would have picked as actors:
- Solid Snake/Mel Gibson
- Colonel Campbell/Richard Crenna
- Big Boss/Sean Connery
- Master Miller/Arnold Schwarzenegger
- Holly White/Sharon Stone
The Man who makes the Impossible Possible
"It's time... YOUR MEMES END HERE!"
JOEL!
I want metal gear remakes, with same music
I can already imagine how a modern version would sound like in a remake of this game
This will be my ringtone
I only guess that this theme inspired peace walker main theme the menu one. It also plays in mgs5 deploying/preparation theme.
*1985* :
Metal Gear Sahelantrophus, a big fucking huge bipedal nuclear war tank that can shoot lasers and have a comfortable place to the pilot, also the most huge metal gear.
Metal gears in 1992:
2:44
Retcons are fun.
@@ianfinrir8724 ask the marvel community
man this is a straight up movie opening!
Imagine getting this game in the states when it was first making the rounds. (of coarse with proper translation)
A synthwave remix would suit this well.
Why ruin something that's already awesome? This is like those new Smack My B*$%& Up covers that turn it into crappy dub step rather than an awesome break beat track
Solid Snake is Mel Gibson
Big Boss is Sean Connery
Mgs is beautiful like I wish I could be with it forever
Great extended mix!
This intro looks like the standby video of a 90s arcade machine when looped
AKA Attract Mode
But yeah, you're right, it kinda resembles it
