137. Metal Gear Solid (1998) | Year of Metal Gear | S6E04

from Furidashi Game Design Academy · host Nicholas Theisen

This month, we finally discuss a game people have actually played: Metal Gear Solid. We also take a look back at Kojima's notion of creativity as a memetic/genetic process and how this game maybe complicates the somewhat rosy picture he paints in his memoir and interviews. Also! The premiere performance of "Liquid Snake and the Konami Code," with its hit song, "Genome Soldier!"
