Franchise: Metal Gear
▲

The Metal Gear Solid main theme used in the first MGS, Sons of Liberty, The Twin Snakes and partially in Snake Eater was removed from Portable Ops shortly before its release because of a potential plagiarism.

Someone on the Internet found a song called "The Winter Road" by the Russian composer Georgy Sviridov which strongly resembled the theme composed by TAPPY.

When Hideo Kojima heard it and became aware of the similarities between the two tracks, he decided to not use the theme again in any future titles in order to evade legal issues.

Attachment Duke is offered power armor, but he refuses the armor saying "Power armor is for pussies." This is a reference to the Halo series. It should also be noted that Halo themed music is playing in the background during the scene.

Attachment There's an item named 'GB sounds' which stands for Game Boy sounds, and is only obtainable after you beat all 16 gym leaders. Despite the fact that the GB Sounds is supposed to sound like the original music from the Game Boy and Game Boy Color, none of the songs sound exactly like the originals. The reason that GB Sounds doesn't perfectly emulate the original soundtrack is due to the games using a sound font for MIDI playback, rather than generating real 8-bit chiptune sounds.

Attachment The game was meant to be longer, but due to time constraints, the high manufacturing costs of a 34 megabit cartridge with NVRAM, and Sega's commitment to a major McDonald's Happy Meal promotion featuring a sweepstakes to win a copy of the game, the decision was made to split the game into two games, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and Sonic & Knuckles. Evidence of this split can be found in the level select menu (sound test), where levels from the second game (such as Flying Battery, Mushroom Vally, and Sandopolis) can be found.
