Released in April 1990, Snake's Revenge is a non-canonical sequel to Metal Gear, released on the European and North American markets (in contrast to the Hideo Kojima sanctioned sequel Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake made exlusively for the Japanese market). The game generally follows the gameplay of the original Metal Gear, though much more emphasis is put on the action part of the gameplay, evident in the addition of the sidescrolling stages.

Author's comments:
This is very good game, its better game than orginal Metal Gear IMO, but speedrunning is hell as hard here. Yeah this game is SO HELL AS HARD SPEEDRUN.
So im not lie: Yes i am worry about rejection, because there is some wrong intentions and mistakes compared my Metal Gear run. I still wanted submit this one. I did two week job and reseting several times after 30 minutes gameplay piss of so much. Thats very often happen. Tank boss is good example with this, its ruin me at least 5-7 potential speedrun attempts, because he is so random. Also i ruin several speedrun attempts with my crap ration luck. Yes like MG 1 includes easy rations but in this game you need got these with enemys and enemys drop rations only when you used punch. Even then it is so random got rations and sometimes its take forever. Yes i did more job with this one than my orginal Metal Gear runs even its not look it.
Yes my Ration luck not are great here, but it is decent. I usually reset bad attempts with this if enemys not drop any rations. This is so frustrating.
Also game is HARD. Enemys are so dangerous. Usually, many enemys kill you with 1-3 hits. Also regular guys are hard. If you activated alert its not lost when you coming in next room like MG 1, so you have to kill all enemys before alert disappear.
2d sections in game are most difficults. In final level these parts are run killers. There is so dangerous alerts so this game requires much stealth.
Final boss is fucking dangerous. Yes he kill you with two hits. Thats reason why i collect rations. You can,t avoid it with quick kill used. You can used slower way, but its also take forever. Last boss kill me often and its not are fun die here. I collect one extra ration and yes i am really worry about this. Yes its might be maybe main reason rejection, but i hope verifers understand with this. But i wanted told i was really lucky with last boss and i lost one less ration what i did my practical attempts.
I was quite happy i got some good feedpack with this run in youtube. Also run is par as Thezeth run. Exepct my ration luck not was great than thezeth. But thats not my fault, because game is random. There is not any console runs in this game so I'll hope this is good enought starting point. But yes its can be 4-5 minutes faster than this one. Time like TAS is absolutely too hard even make close it, because game requires tons luck manipulation.
JUNGLE****************************************
Cool job. I collect three rations & saved hostage and going building 1
BUILDING 1*************************************
Good job here. I was lucky with rations, im not was need collect these in jungle, but i can,t know it, because i 90% of time are too unlucky.
BOSS FIGHT: Assault unit
I used explosive because its caused most damages. Last guy not wanted die, so i used bullets with him.
I used block pass trick like TAS. This is much harder what it look. Its ruin several speedrun attempts. There i dying it once which went quite well.
SHIP************************************
This is my favorite part hold run. I find so quick way pass this level.
BOSS FIGHT: Grenade unit
This boss is so dangerous its kill you with two hit. I decide used explosive & grenades. I have to let 3 explosive remain and you will see later why i let.
Escape went well done used TAS route.
CAMP 1*************************************
Easy part. There is mostly collect rations (only & last place) and missiles. 2d section is annoying, but its went ok.
TRAIN*******************************
Well played here. Some minor time lost but nothing bad.
BOSS FIGHT: Imposter
This fight is virtually impossible avoid. It was expert challenge into magfest 2010. I used missiles & kamikaze way. This is surely fastest but its ate some rations. Boss drop power armor and i escaped
CAMP 2 PART 1 & 2*******************************
There is some dangerous things. Its important collect explosives because you will need these. Each explosive started alert and its make this place difficult. There is also two 2d section which is both difficult.
Part 2 includes checkpoint. You have to collet full amount mines here because you need these with next boss. 2nd 2d section is also really hard. Its best of luck
BOSS: TANK
This is biggest runkiller in hold run. Thezeth said he ruin 16 speedrun attempt with this. I ruin several too. My fight not was great. Boss moved wrong, but thats not my fault. Also everysingle hits kill you instantly. Thats so random and frustrating, but i survive.
BUILDING 3, 4, 5 & 6*****************************************
I started well i skip glass item. I used thezeth method with lifts. Its save time and also very easy solved. I also got rank 4 (you need rank 4 to beat game) & card 6 and going in last building
BUILDING 5 & 6**********************************
I lost time trying collected rations & ammos. Yes i got some ammos and one ration. I also need haved much oxygen tanks, because i'll need it later.
2d sections are really hard, i did all quite well. 2nd 2d section requires several oxygen tanks thats reason why i collected. You can also did it like TAS used rations, but its enought hard got random drops and you will need rations elsewhere game.
BUILDING 6*************
Only break into game is pass trap gap here. Thats save some minutes. Used in TAS run & also Thezeth used this one. Me too used because its very easy to make. Yes i playing linear and trying got ration, but without luck.
I got card 8 & smoke bomb and collect enought missiles. I still haved rough luck with rations. But i finally grap with it even im not was need it with this time. Yes this is only things which make me little worry, because its not look good. But i wanted told i 75% of the time i need used it in last boss, but this time i was just so lucky
FINAL BOSS: BIG BOSS******************
I used thezeth method. I going right corner and killed him with missiles.
2nd form is so hard. i going next room and killed him with mines and used rations. This was also same way as thezeth used his run. One ration got remain which is so rare. I usually lost all or i die.
escape went well
FINAL BOSS: METAL GEAR 2*************************
First time my life i got beat him without any miss shots. I am really glad with this one. Its went down so well. Its usually difficult boss.
i loved ending into game. Its so cool IMO. Thats so awesome feeling beat game without dying. Especially i did beat it 49:53 (SDA maybe turn it 50:00) DVD clock just how much time different than my real stopwatch. Avarage player beat game in SS in 1:30-2 hours, like me when i played it. So this is surely better than avarage player can did. This is not are world greatest run, but its good starting point IMO. This is cool job beat this game and as far as i can tell it is best console snake revenge run what ever are created.
I want thanks team of the SDA
