Snake's Revenge
Snake's Revenge is a 1990 action-adventure stealth game developed and published by Konami for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is a stand-alone sequel to Metal Gear that was released in North America and the PAL region following the international commercial success of the NES version. The game was produced without the involvement of series creator Hideo Kojima, who went on to develop a separate sequel for the MSX2 titled Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which was released later during the same year in Japan.

Where Snake's Revenge sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Snake's Revenge lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 44ahead of 4% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 25ahead of 69% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Snake's Revenge
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
