Line 438:
** Also the cover art for Metal Gear is based on a screen shot of Kyle Reese from Terminator.
*** Speaking of that, the first game had a Terminator ersatz named... [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]].
** They hang a lampshade on this in [[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]: Solid Snake's "disguise" persona is "Lieutenant JG Iroquois Plissken". [[Spotting the Thread|Raiden catches him because of snake's headset and claimed rank.]]
* ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' began his life when Capcom wanted to make an [[Astro Boy (manga)|Astro Boy]] game, but could not acquire the rights. He's come into his own right since then, of course.
**
** The Killer Bullets in the first game resemble the Bullet Bills from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', which are ironically called Killers in the Japanese series. They never appeared in the series again, possibly due to Nintendo threatening legal action.
* In 1983, there was a laserdisc arcade game called ''Cliff Hanger'', where the protagonist was a [[Gentleman Thief]] named Cliff who looked suspiciously like the one [[Lupin III|from a popular manga and anime]]. Which makes perfect sense, because it uses animated footage from two ''[[Lupin III]]'' movies, most prominently ''The Castle of Cagliostro'', and some from ''The Mystery of Mamo''.
