Just look at the lips, squinty eyes and Wakka hair on this magnificent specimen. I wonder what female Japanese gamers would have thought of THIS Solid Snake data-laughing

Also, why does this very green and EXTREMELY 90s looking Meryl have some kind of Iron Age shortsword on her belt?

I have to know if this magazine was around for MGS2- their version of Raiden must have been transcendent. They would've probably drawn him to look like Dolph Lundgren as He-Man

EDIT

I just chortled at this goofy magazine cover illustration but apparently someone at Konami liked it enough that it was actually used as the cover for the manual of MGS: Integral in Japan

Looking at archived copies of this magazine at retrogamemags, it seems like PlayStation characters in 90s comic book art was their thing. These are just delightful- look at this Jamer Sunderland

Now that's the face of a man mourning his wife
