Exercising Meryl (Added 01-Feb-99)
To see Meryl do exercises, when you go in to save the DARPA chief look in the first grated vent. She will do a different exercise each time you leave the shaft and come back. Continue and she will repeat them, with no pants on!

Friendly Wolves in the Caves (Added 01-Feb-99)
Equip the hankerchief that Otacon gives you. Or when you meet up with Meryl, shoot her with the socom and then quickly equip the cardboard box, the little wolf will pee on you and then all the wolves will like you.
*Note* the wolves will only like you if the C. box is equiped.

Change Costumes
One really cool trick in the game Meatal Gear Solid is that if you beat the game twice consecutively (using the game looping) the characters' clothing will change the third time you play. One way to tell that you are doing this correctly is that the color that the game saves are written in will change from green the first time, to gold the second time, and red the third time on. When this trick comes into effect Solid snake will be wearing a tuxedo when he takes off his SCUBA gear, and the Ninja will be wearing black and red instead of grey and orange.
