Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake English translation
メタルギア2 ソリッドスネーク
The classic English fan translation of the MSX2 Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake by Maarten ter Huurne and Takamichi Suzukawa, with BiFi's later addendum improving it.
What's translated
Maarten ter Huurne and Takamichi Suzukawa translated Metal Gear 2's radio conversations, item and weapon names, and the story scenes into English. Their version 1.2 dates from May 1997, years before Konami released the game in English itself.
Improvements
In October 2013 BiFi released an addendum (version 1.4) that goes over the original translation and improves it. A separate Turbo Fix hack by FRS (2011) is also around, which reduces slowdown; it is an independent patch.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the MSX2 game following the instructions included with it. On a keyboard, the cursor keys move, space shoots, M or N punches, and the function keys pause the game and open the weapon, item, transceiver and save screens.
