Team METALSLAVE

Naoki Matsui, the "Superviser" and "disitaizer" for the PC88 and MSX 2 versions of Snatcher), used Metalslave as his nick during the interview on the Snatcher "Radioplay" Liner Notes. He was most likely Kojima's boss during his MSX days. From what I've been told, Konami divides each of their team by their lead game designer. For example, the team that did the NES versions of Contra and Salamander was called Team Umechan, after it's leader Shigeharu Umezaki. The team is also mentioned in Neo Kobe 2045 Speed King, which takes place at Neo Kobe, an obvious reference to Snatcher.

The "We who are not as others" phrase used in the screens from Speed King is the name of a track by Sepultura (Chaos A.D. album, track 9). That added to the name METALSLAVE and the logo with what appears to be guitars in these pictures shows the musical preference of the team leader clearly.
