<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/11.jpg" class="postimg center" style="display:block;"/>Five games that made an impact on the life of <i>Metal Gear Solid</i> creator Hideo Kojima? According to the famed game designer:</p> <blockquote> <p>&bull; <i>Super Mario Bros.</i><br> &bull; <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portopia_Renzoku_Satsujin_Jiken"><i>Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken</i></a><br> &bull; <i>Xevious</i><br> &bull; <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_World_(video_game)"><i>Another World</i></a><br> &bull; <i>Metal Gear Solid</i></p> </blockquote> <p>This list comes from a <i>Yomiuri Newspaper</i> article called "All About Kojima Hideo" dated June 11th. We haven't seen the full article (only that picture <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.yomiuri.co.jp/popstyle/2008/06/post-c0e8-1.html">we found</a> on a Yomiuri blog), and the English translation of Yomiuri article glosses over these five games and what they mean to him. From the pic we found, it certainly appears as though Kojima provided explanation how they affected him.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/features/arts/20080704TDY13003.htm">Hide-and-seek with Hideo Kojima</a> [Yoimuri]</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=3f0efdea430f4c03585ebff2680b6714" height="1" width="1"/>
