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 
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
I believe that was a mod that got urban legend’ed into being a supposed secret code available in the base game. Which is funny as it’s not the only time in the 90’s an April Fools joke by a gaming magazine got spread as truth. EGM photoshopped Sheng Long into SFII screen shots as a joke and players fell for it.
Yeah, there was a mod called Nude Raider that Eidos wasn't happy about, they tried to shut the site down.
edit: I wonder if this inspired the damage control done by Rockstar over Hot Coffee in GTA: SA, iirc they initially tried to claim it was user created.
My memory was that the hot coffee thing was in the game as shipped but it could only be accessed with a mod
It was in the game, but Rockstar claimed it was created by modders. https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/hackers-behind-sex-change-says-grand-theft-maker/
Incredible headline out of context.
