Five games that made an impact on the life of Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima? According to the famed game designer:
• Super Mario Bros.
• Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken
• Xevious
• Metal Gear Solid
This list comes from a Yomiuri Newspaper article called “All About Kojima Hideo” dated June 11th. We haven’t seen the full article (only that picture we found on a Yomiuri blog), and the English translation of Yomiuri article glosses over these five games and what they mean to him. From the pic we found, it certainly appears as though Kojima explained how they affected him.
