The book cover for the novelization of the original Metal Gear removed the gun from Snake's hand. While Snake collects many weapons throughout the book, which describes him as a "walking arsenal", he never shoots anyone with them. Seth Godin, creator of the "Worlds of Power" book series, "wanted to minimize the death" seen in many of the NES games.

Snake's appearance on the cover art is based on Michael Biehn's character Kyle Reese in the 1984 film "The Terminator".
