Hideo Kojima Explains the Meaning of The Names of Snake, and Why There Isn’t a “Gas” Snake

It’s always interesting to get a glimpse of the mind of a genius, and legendary Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima just gave an explanation on Twitter about the philosophy that led to the naming of the multiple “Snake” that appeared in his games.

That was something that always made me wonder.

If it weren't for those awkward looking corners, those cases would be perfect. Still think they lool cool, though.

I think the corners are made like that to look like some kind of military package.

The more you look into how kojima created metal gear solid you become amazed at how every detail of the story is done so well.

Despite all the criticism it receives, yes the franchise is incredible.

definetly...

even with the names David = Solid Snake and Eli = Liquid Snake... and how those names are a reference to King David from the Bible (David and Goliath). David was the youngest of 8 brothers and Eli was the eldest... just like Snake and Liquid were part of the OCTUPLETS in the "Les Infante Terrible" project.

The fact that Hideo had that "David" and "Octopulets" references since the very beginning of the Solid series and how its come full circle (if Eli is indeed a young Liquid in MGSV) is INSANE!

Hideo really is on a WHOLE different level in storytelling.

I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.
