After his ironclad plan to rule the world rusted away, crazed Colonel Vermon CaTaffy went psycho. Unfortunately, your two best friends took the brunt of his frenzy and lost their fight to live.

As nutty as ever, CaTaffy has sought asylum from the world's premiere bad guy - Higharolla Kockamamie. Grateful to this 'Rolla Radical, the Colonel has donated the biggest, baddest Ultra-Sheik Nuclear Attack Tank to his fellow madman's world dominating cause.

Now your mission is to not only save Earth, but to inflict revenge. It's a job you'll definitely take personally as you infiltrate a nation of armed lunatics. Blow up a battleship. Hijack a train. Locate dozens of weapons and a truth serum that'll force enemy commanders to spill their guts. Then, destroy Vermon, Higharolla and the Earth Threatening Device with one lethal blow. All this, while staying in radio contact with a foxy spy named Jennifer and a Stealth copter pilot who'll be hovering nearby.

So whaddaya think, Snake - are you commando enough to handle this Kockamamie scheme?

TRIVIA

Released in April 1990 in the USA.

Although the title implies itself as a sequel to Metal Gear, it really isn't. In fact, after learning from one of the game's developers that Snake's Revenge was being produced, Hideo Kojima was driven to create the true sequel Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake which was released for the MSX2 computer system on July of 1990.

As with many Konami games released internationally, the instruction manual radically altered the storyline which is inconsistent with the actual plot of the game, this included altering Big Boss's name to Higharolla Kockamamie (which was a parodical take on Ayatollah Khomeini).
