 The character of Peter Stillman was originally written to be a  younger version of the Ed Brown character from  _Policenauts (1994) (VG)_ (qv), one of Hideo Kojima (qv)s earlier  games. In Policenauts, Ed used to be a bomb disposal expert similar  to Stillman before being transferred over to the Narcotics division  to work with Jonathan. Shôzô Îzuka (qv), who voiced Stillman in  the Japanese version of Metal Gear Solid 2, previously voiced Ed in  Policenauts.
