I was passing through, and thought that this was way too important to pass up.

http://www.thesnakesoup.com/petition/

Essentially, it is a petition to Konami to release and provide proper translations for Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (which never made it to the states in the first place). I believe it to be your civic duty to sign this petition. All the cool kids are doing it. Don't be a loser. Just try it. C'mon, who's gonna find out?

Er, that is..

The NES version of Metal Gear that we received was the product of a faulty translation, with such memorable quotes as "Uh-oh! The truck have started to move," and "Find missing our Grey Fox!" Of course, they're hardly great mistakes to complain about, but what many do not know about are the number of scenes that were deleted from the original MSX version of the game, either due to content or space issues. Either way, this petition seeks to have this game restored to its true value.

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake was actually never even released outside of Japan. For years, the only way we silly Westerners could hope to play it was through MSX emulation, and fans with too much free time providing paltry translations. Well, I say no more!

Too long have the origins of this great series been obscured in one fashion or another. It is time we unite to get them on our shelves! You owe it to yourself as a fan to sign this petition. I see a sunny day in our future. And you will have helped create it.

Again, the link is: http://www.thesnakesoup.com/petition/

Thank you for your time.
