Hideo Kojima was cleaning up a bit and found some planning documents, maps and proposals related to Metal Gear and Snatcher. He posted pictures of them on his twitter feed:

Really cool stuff !!! LOL!LOL!LOL!

We see the volume of documents and work it took to develop those games ...
Also, a peek on the project names of Metal Gear (Intruder) and Snatcher (Junker).
And the mistakes in the english translation of the Metal Gear dialogues ("caputured" ...) ...

Once again, really cool stuff !

...Including a planning file called "Snatcher 2" (to which Kojima points specifically btw). Oh and he started working on Snatcher (which was apparently called JUNKER at first) after taking one week of vacation after finishing Metal Gear 1, haha.

So after all some konami documents from that area exist that tell us how the games were made.Maybe someone from the official mrc should try to contact him and ask him regarding the status of z80 source code,or graphic stuff.Imagine if he could have something like that ?

I really like the twit picture with the Metal Gear logo sketch!

On the lower drawing, the logo with the shadow, you see how to arrows point the way of the font. For Metal it is up and Gear down.

Nice to see some inside designer drawings/ideas for a product we still love.

And also funny to see English is very difficult for the Japanese. In small letters you can read 'meatl gear'.

Still, great stuff!!

I also see a twit picture with the English version of some radio transmissions.

In the first lines you can read 'and destroy the ultimate weapon Metal Gear'. So here the word destroy is correctly written instead of destoroy Wink

But was Hideo Kojima involved in the translation?I think that those who did it removed lots of messages ...(by the way how are you evulopah ,greetings!)

It is interesting to see some hex code letter,in the way the messages are written if one dumps the rom file or the disk crack version will see that the order of the messages i think is the same.Maybe those letters are checksums of some sort?

@Metalion: I read that in the (Japanese) messages that came with the pics. If you look closely at the Snatcher planning files, you can see that one of those says スナッチャー2 (or: Snatcher 2).
