Forum:I might be starting something hilarious here...(no spoilers)

I just looked up "metal gear solid" on amazon.com when I found the line was present in TWO novels. One was of course the Metal Gear Solid novel by Bond novelist Raymond Benson, but the second took me quite off guard. It was a novel named "The Devil's Mambo" and one page refers to "Metal Gear Solid" as an ARCADE game, calling it a "popular, futuristic, race-and-destroy game" (pg. 133) that was the focal point of three minor characters. Funny because in the same page it mentions The Sopranos with a mild amount of accuracy. (You can see the page in question on amazon, I think.)

Way to steal the name of one of the greatest stealth videogame series of all time and degrade it by calling it a "race-and-destroy" upright arcade game. I wonder if the author (Jerry A. Rodriguez) actually knows anything about MGS, or if he simply liked the name. Anyone want to start a wave of fan-based mail informing him about the MGS saga? -Melson
