AC!D Mobile

2009-05-13T00:08:00.000-07:00

Metal Gear Acid Mobile is a video game developed by Kojima Productions for mobile phones. Although it is part of the Metal Gear series, it is not canonical. There are two versions of the game; a 2D version called Metal Gear Acid Mobile and a 3D version called Metal Gear Acid Mobile 3D. The game is a cut-down remake of the Metal Gear Acid on the PSP, with some missions and characters removed.

AC!D Place in the series

2009-05-12T00:04:00.000-07:00

Although Acid is part of the Metal Gear series, it does not follow the same continuity as the Metal Gear Solid games released for the home consoles, but instead follows on from Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, another non-canonical entry into the Metal Gear series. The game features a new cast, but characters, weapons, items and game mechanics from previous games are depicted on the cards. There are three card packs available that cover each of the major Metal Gear games; Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. A fourth set is also available featuring cards based on the classic Metal Gear titles and miscellaneous Kojima games

The second disc contains music from Metal Gear Acid 2, and is composed by Akihiro Honda, Hiroshi Tanabe, Nobuko Toda and Shuichi Kobori.

AC!D Title Significance

2009-05-09T02:16:00.000-07:00

According to an interview originally published by Electronic Gaming Monthly with the game's producer, Masahiro Hinami, the 'Acid' part of the title actually has three different meanings. The first meaning refers to Acid's departure from the previous Metal Gear games in terms of style, which is an analogue to acid's ability to dissolve metal. The second is a reference to vecuronium bromide, the chemical used by Elsie and Frances to hijack Flight 326. The third is stated to be an acronym for Active Command Intelligence Duel, a reference to the game's mixture of turn-based tactics with card-based gameplay.

AC!D Full Card List

==============================METAL GEAR ACID FULL CARD LIST==============================Copyright 2005 Kit Lam
==============================================================Hi. This FAQ is intended for those who either doesn't quite knowwhat the cards do, and for those who haven't got all the cardsand would like to know what they are.
All 200 out of the total of 204 cards can be obtained through thecard shop,so there's no big secret there, just keep buying fromthe card shop. The other 4 are the model cards, which in myexperience, I haven't seen show up in the card shop(although in the list, it does say its part of the Chronicle Pack)These 4 can be obtained even easier. Enter passwords on the titlescreen for them.
I won't list the cards or the passwords here since I didn't get themmyself and I don't know if someone's going to come and sue my pantsoff but the passwords are on the Codes, cheats section on GameFaqs.Some other games beside the Metal Gear ones are included in theChronicle Pack. I don't know the origin of some of the cards in thatpack so I didn't include those kind of details.
Anyways, on with the card list. They are arranged the same way theyare in'Gallery' mode. There is also a brief FAQ section at the endin case there are some things listed here you don't understand.===============================================================
Here's the way I listed the cards.....
====(xxx)=== xxxx - xxx PACK
- The xxx in brackets is the card's assigned number under'gallery'. The next set of xxx is the name of the card.
- The single x is the card's cost
- The last set of xxx is what PACK they belong to.
- * around the name means that the card is a 'Gold Card'.
(Note: Translation of names are as I interpret them. Bearwith some of the translation of character names)

=====================END OF FULL CARD LIST=====================

===============================(B) FAQS (Suspected to be FAQS at least)===============================
Q1. What are the numbers in the columns next to your character?
A.
- The first one is how many cards you have at your disposal right now.
- The second one is your Cost. When it's your turn, you start at 0 (except for the deck reload, then you start at 10, but forget thatbit for now).Each time you use a card, the number on the top right of your card gets added to your total cost. In short, the higher the number, the longer it is until your next turn.
- The third is your number in the Queue. If it's 1, your turn is up. For instance, if your cost is lower than all other targets on the map(eg. 2) and all the guards have their cost at 12, then your turnis going to come sooner than theirs. You can check the status ofeveryone by pressing the trianlge button at your turn.
Q2. What is all this Equip Cards and Equip to Use cards?
A.
- Equip Cards are usually weapons. If they have a REA (Reaction)percentage, that means when you get hit, there will be a chance ofcounter attack. Now you can also fire these weapons at your own willif you have either:
(A) Another identical card in your deck(B) Another Equip type weapon card that uses the same bullets (C) A special card (Such as Machine Gun Kid) that allows you to fire that kind of weapon.
-Use Cards can be Weapons, Item cards or anything. For example,SOCOM is aUse Card. Well at least I call it a USE Card since youdon't need to equip it and wait for another card to show up to useit. You Use it straight away.
- Equip to Use cards are ones that also take effect immediately butyou must equip them and take space in the equipment slot. Some stayfor the entire stage. Some take effect until a certain condition hasbeen met.
- Use with equipped weapon are usually support cards that only workif you fit it with a weapon that has already been equipped.
Q3. Any special or easier way to get some of the rarer cards?
A. Yes, but only for a handful. Passwords. One of the passwords I gotfrom MGS3.The 4 Model Cards I mentioned seem to be only availablethrough the passwords. Unfortunately, there are only a handful ofpasswords (as of yet) for cards andthose cards aren't all that hardto come by through the card shop. The good news of course, is that there is no particular crazy orspecial requirement to hit to access all the cards in the game.Just fly to your card shop today.
Q4. What is this mysterious 'HAND' you keep talking about?
A. For lack of a better word, that's the selection of 6 cardsyou get to use from your deck each turn.
===========(C) LAST BIT===========
I hope this FAQ has helped some of you out. I may have skipped over somecards or left out some info.If it's really bugging you, then send me ane-mail (its at the bottom of the page).
I Don't know about all the legal stuff but use this FAQ any way youlike unless you are making millions of dollars with this. In that case,send me an amount too. If anyone breaks a leg or anything due to thisFAQ, Im not responsible.
Ok guys, I hope this FAQ proved useful to you.

1. Introduction: This is my first attempt at a walkthrough, so I thought Iwould just say a few things. First, this version is not going to be verydetailed. It will give you enough information to complete the game, but I willnot promise anything beyond that until I complete the first version. If youwould like to collect all the card packs you can and get through the gamewithout killing a guard I respect your attempt but, at the same time, you willbe on your own. Second, this plot will have no spoilers, so you will not needto worry about whether or not you can read along without seeing too much. Iwill use names like "Guy" or "Person" for major characters that may or may nothave been revealed to you yet (with the exception of Teliko.) Lastly, pleasedo not use this guide or anyportion of it without my expressed permission before-hand. If you simply email me with your intentions I will (usually) have no problem with you using my guide on your site.
2. Contact: Please do not ask me anything that is not covered in this guide.Any and all suggestions are welcome, but please make the subject of your email"MGA Walkthrough." My email address is mawied@gmail.com
3. Story: Flight 326, a passenger flight, has been hijacked. The perpetratorhas only one demand- Pythagoras. The US Government has found that Pythagorasis a secret project at a Moloni research facility. Called out of retirementonce again, it is Solid Snake's duty to infiltrate the research facility andfigure out what Pythagoras is and why the hijacker wants it. Hundreds of livesrest on his shoulders, including that of Viggo Hach, current US Senator andcandidate for the Presidency.
4. Characters:
Solid Snake: Former member of the elite unit FOXHOUND, Snake has been calledthe Legendary Hero because of his great achievements in tactical espionageaction.
Roger McCoy: A member of the CIA, Roger is in almost constant contact withSnake via Codec.
Alice: An English psychic who helps Snake during his mission along with Roger.
Teliko: A soldier in the HRT Special Forces Unit, she eventually works withSnake in his mission.
Gary: A mysterious man working at the research facility at the time of theincident. For some reason Leone's forces missed him...
Leone: Leads a group of mercenaries that have also infiltrated the Moloniresearch facility.
5. Game Overview: The highly praised Metal Gear series has never seen a gamelike Metal Gear Ac!d. A card combat game, it is much different than the othergames in the series, while still maintaining the same look, feel, and, most ofall, mechanics so familiar to Metal Gear veterans. Pretty much every action inthe game, outside of Knock and Punch, is performed with a card. There's a cardfiring a weapon and a card for lowering your current Cost. Movement requires acard, as does calling an air strike.
5.2. Cost: The number in the upper right hand corner of a card is called theCost. Total cost at the end of a turn will determine the order of turns.Example: If, at the end of your turn you have accumulated 14 cost and yourenemy has accumulated less, the enemy will take their turn first. Your turnwill not be taken until there have been 14 actions taken by NPCs.
5.4. Card Types:
Weapon: These cards are for attacked enemies. Some weaponcards (FAMAS, SOCOM) can be used, while others (Mosin Nagant, M4) have to beequipped. To use an equipped weapon you have to find a card with the samebullets and equip it to the already equipped weapon card.
Action: Provides support for equipped weapon cards.
Support: Support cards contain techniques such as evasion. Ideal for defense.
Item: Action cards contain items like bandages. Ideal for recovery.
Character: Cards featuring characters from past Metal Gear games. Each ofthese has a special ability that is triggered when used.
5.6. Using cards: When cards are selected for use there are 3 choices that canappear, but only 2 at a time or less. Most cards will have the Movementability. You can use these to move 3 squares, unless you're using a movementcard which will move you further than normal cards. Support cards and someCharacter cards will have the Equip option, which lets you put the card in oneof your equipment slots. You start out with two equipment slots, but they canbe upgraded to four and then nine. Some weapon, item, and character cards willhave the Use ability, which lets you activate a card and its effectsimmediately.
5.8 Reactions: Some cards you equip (Evasion and some weapon cards) will betriggered under certain situations, such as being fired at by an enemy. Theplacement of cards in the equipment window has an effect on this, however.On the top, bottom, left, and right borders of some of these cards are colors.The color touching another card is important, as the colors affect other theother cards. For example, Red gives the card it's touching +10 attack, -10defense. Blue gives -10 attack, +10 defense. Green gives reaction probability+10%, -5 attack, - 5 defense.
Example: ______ GGGGGG G R B R G R B R G R B R G______R B______R
The card on the left will get -10 attack, +10 defense from being touched byblue, while the card on the right gets +10 attack, -10 defense from beingtouched by red.
6. Basic Abilities: Here are some basic abilities that can be activated by amenu during battle.
Stay: Remain where you are and in the position (stand/crawl) you were in.
Crawl: Lower to the ground and move around flat on your stomach.
Stand: Raise up off the ground and move on two feet.
Flatten: When facing a wall edge up to it and press your back against it.
Ladder Up: Climb up a ladder.
Ladder Down: Climb down a ladder.
Climb: When a climb card is equipped, climb up something.
Hang: When a hang card is equipped, hang from a ledge.
7. Walkthrough
7A. Forest: This mission is self-explanatory. Follow Roger's orders. Moveas far North as you can with the Genome Soldier card, and face North. Thenmove to the ladder and select "Ladder [Up arrow]" from the menu. Move Northagain, towards the locked door, and select stay, facing North. Select yourSocom and select "Use." Aim at the padlock on the door and shoot it. Missioncomplete.
7B. Lobito Lab. - Outside Gate: Roger instructs you to get past the guardwithout being seen by any enemies. Move closer to the gate and you will getanother message from Roger, telling you about the "Knock" ability. In orderto use it you must face a wall when you end a "Move." After this the "Knock"command will be added to the list that contains "End" and "Punch." Feel freeto ignore all the guards except for the one in front of the gate and the onepatrolling between the two small buildings. Move to the first of the twobuildings and use the Knock technique to lure the guard to where you're at, then move around behind the building. Move past the second building and to theleft column by the gate. Use the Knock technique again here, then run backbehind the second building. The guard at the gate will come look for you.When he does you should get a chance to move past him while his back isturned. Move past him and the gate. Mission complete.
7C. Office: Move along the right side upon entrance. Eliminate the guard ifyou have to, and be careful to shoot any cameras that might catch you. If youare seen by a camera it's instant alert mode. Move through the door towardsthe end of the hall and through the door. Be careful to avoid the guard here,as it is a very tough room to get out of if you're trapped. Exit the room andgo to the next section by way of the white bullseye. Once in the secondsection you should move to the West as Alice has instructed you to. When youget to the West side you should be wary of the guard and the two security cameras. Elimenating at least one camera should get you through fine. Enterteh room on the right side. Once inside this room you are informed that thereis a Security Bot here. Do not try to kill it. Make your way around it withoutbeing seen and move through the door across from the one you came in through.Head North and avoid the guard. You meet "Person" here, and the mission is changed to escaping in the East. Move South again after your meeting withPerson, and then back to the room with the Patrol Bot, avoiding the guard on your way. Move out of the Patrol Bot room using the same strategy as before.Exit to the East, avoiding the two guards on the way. Eliminate them if it'snecessary. Exit via the blue bullseye. Mission complete.
7D. Ruins - Lower: Before entering here you should make sure you have C4 inyour deck, as it will be of the utmost necessity. Move up and to the right.The cracked wall is very close to the beginning of the stage. Shoot out the security camera guarding it, then move directly in front of it and place theC4. Be wary of guards while you're here, as you are surrounded by them from above. They normally wont see you unless you draw attention to yourself. Ifyou think you may have done that there is a hole across from the cracked wall(under the stairs) that you can crawl into to hide. Once the C4 goes off the alert will be sounded immediately. You then must remove the alert status sothat the door to the Residential Quarters (on the other side of the map) willopen. The easiest way I found to do this was by eliminating all the guards,but you can be creative if you wish. Exit via the blue bullseye. Missioncomplete.
7E. Residential Zone: The mission in this level is to rescue Dr. Flemming. Atthe beginning of the level there is a guard on the other side of the wall toyour right. If you want to you can go ahead and throw a grenade to kill him,but that's very likely to give you an alert status, so I'd recommend goingupwards instead. Get around the guard and into the first building. Be carefulwhen entering rooms, as many of them have infrared sensors that will sense ifyou pass them and automatically sound the alarm. Exit the building and go tothe left to the next entrance. Once you're in the next building go up and exitthrough the door on the left, since the path is blocked off. Go down onceoutside until you get to a ladder. Go down it and move to the right as far asyou can and then use the Crawl technique to go under the stairs. Continue onthe path until you come to a ladder. Climb up it and head upwards from there.Enter the door on your left, then exit the building via the door on yourright. Follow the path and enter the next building. Go to the scanner, thenfollow the hallway all the way down to the last door on your right. A shortcutscene ensues and (SPOILER) Teliko is added to your party and you mustescape with her. Simply go back the way you came in. One of you must make itto the blue bullseye. Mission complete.
7F. BRC-026: Upon entrance make your way straight up and through the door,careful to avoid guards and patrol bots. Get Snake and Teliko each on a whitebullseye to move to the next section. Move Teliko into the room on your left.Eliminate the guard and move her in front of the control panel. Move Snakeinto the opposite room and have him move in front of the control panel. MoveTeliko out of the room she is in, up the hall, through the door, and into theroom on the right. Go to the control panel on the left first to unlock thedoor to the room Snake is in, then, once Snake is out, go to other to unlockthe door at the end of the hall. Move Snake through the door and up into thenext hall. There's a door two blocks before you get to the locked door at theend of the hall. Have Snake go through there and stand in front of the controlpanel. Move Teliko through the door and to the control panel to the right.Move Snake into the section with Teliko. Move them through one of the two doors in the immediate area. There are two guards in the next room. Go up thestairs and to the white bullseyes to proceed to the next section. Once there,move Snake into the room to the right and go to the control panel, which willunlock a door on the left. Move Teliko into it and to the control panel. MoveSnake up through the door that opens and to the control panel straight aheadof him. Move Teliko out of the room she's in. Move Snake over to the controlpanel on the left. Move Teliko up through the door on the left and through the door on the right. Move Teliko to the control panel. Move Snake out of the room he's in and through the door Snake went in not long ago. Move Snake andTeliko up through the next door. Move through the small hall, around thesquare-shaped room, and to the white bullseyes to go to the next section. Movestraight forward and into the next room. Descend the stairs and be careful ofthe guards. Exit through the door opposite the stairs and follow the path tothe door. Enter it and make your way across the small map and to the oppositedoor. Exit through the door and take the path to the right and enter the dooron your left. Have Snake climb up the ladder. Mission complete.
7G. BRC-026 (again): Boss battle! Enemy: "Big Guy" (Altered for plot)Big Guy has a lot of evades, so it's a bad idea to attack him directly. He attacks with something like a grenade launcher. The best way to hurt him is tolure him near the gas tanks and blow them up, and to use grenades and otherexplosives. Also, having one character out in the open and another attackingBig Guy from behind has proven to be a good strategy. He has 1000 HP; get itto zero to trigger a Codec call that will tell you to escape in the Northwest.You'll be teleported back to the area you were in before, only this time allthe doors are open. Move straight up through the first two halls. When youget to the door at the end of the second hall take a left and head for theblue bullseye. Mission complete.
7H: Ruins - Upper: This level is pretty easy as long as you know what to watchout for. There are sentries on the left side, along with a patrol bot. There are also 3 guards in the level and some infrared sensors. I found the best thing to do in this level is to get rid of the first guard and then movearound on the right side until you get to the clue bullseyes. Missioncomplete.
7I. Drawbridge: Move onto the bridge. After going about halfway across anexchange between Snake and Teliko is triggered. The drawbridge goes up andTeliko is no longer with you. The mission is then changed to heading for theshed in the South. Move there, and it is blown up. The mission is then changedto killing all the guards in the area, which is self-explanatory. Once theguards are dead head west to the blue bullseye. Mission complete.
7J. Minefield - Upper: Here it is only necessary to move across the map to theblue bullseye. It's fairly simple, but watch out for mines, which are embeddedin areas that may seem like shortcuts. To compensate for this, however, theguards are placed in positions that work very well for you strategically. Getto the blue bullseye. Mission complete.
7K. Ebro Tower: Make sure to equip C4 before you begin this mission or Rogerwon't let you start. In the first room be careful of the security camera alongthe wall that the MGS1 pack is on. Guards past here will be wearing differenttypes of uniforms. If you are wearing a uniform different than theirs, youwill be attacked by them. Move to the right and through the door. Exit and goto the room on the far left, where you will find a Red Uniform. Equip it. Youcan find a green uniform (guarded by a guard in a blue uniform) in the roomdirectly opposite that one. Crawl through the duct and into the next room.Once there, exit and move straight forward towards the stairs. Once you get tothe stairs you'll need to change into your green uniform, as the area directlyup the stairs is green. Move to the center of the platform and climb down theladder. Kill the guard so that you can proceed. Once the guard is dead climbthe ladder up onto the other side and go into the door to the right. You cansneak under the platform in this room, but be wary of the infrared sensors andthe guard. Exit the room through the door to the left of the one you came in.When you're out move to the right. A short exchange between Snake and Roger istriggered and you're told to blow up the cracked wall. Plant some C4 anddetonate it. Move into the room past the blown up wall. Move to the elevator.Mission complete.
7L. Ebro Tower (again): Boss Battle! This time it's with "Person" (againaltered for plot). Move to the right, down the hall, and through the door. Theroom you enter is practically covered with land mines, so watch your step orequip a mine detector. Person will also constantly lay more mines. Also, different colored squares will have different effects on Snake. The effectsare listed here:
Blue: Increases defenseRed: Increases attackYellow: Refreshes handGreen: Increases hit rate
Person has 800 HP. The best way to get it to zero is to use red squares, asPerson's attacks can be very damaging. Once Person's HP gets to zero, thebattle is over. Mission complete.
7M. Rope Bridge: Enter this stage and you'll be told you need to get sniperrifles to take care of the sentries. Go to the armory.
7N. Armory: The sniper rifles should be very easy to find. They're in a couplerooms on the right side of the second floor. You'll need card levels 1 and 2in order to access some alternate routes that will get you there much morequickly. Along the way you should watch out for patrol bots and securitycameras; nothing you haven't dealt with yet.
7O. Rope Bridge (again): Make sure you have sniper rifles in both decks beforeeven attempting this level, as you won't be allowed to if you don't have them.The best strategy is to hang back until you have snipers equipped, then unloadon the sentries from afar. If the alarm is sounded it's almost impossible tocross the bridge without it getting shut off, which is hard to do in such asmall area. Kill the sentries (and guards if you raise the alert level) inorder to advance.
7P. Mountains: Begin by moving to the left and up the hill. Kill the guardfloating above you unless you want major problems in the level. Continue along the path you were on before and to the left, killing guards as necessary, until you come to an area where two guards are facing each other.Get Snake and Teliko behind the area in the middle, and have them both moveto different sides at the same time and take out the guards so that no alarmwill be sounded. The best way I found to do this was have one throw a grenadeand the other shoot it and blow it up. Try to take out as many guards as youcan while below them. It makes it much easier. Continue following the pathuntil you get to the blue bullseyes, but watch out for one more floatingsoldier on your way there. Mission complete.
7Q. Outside FAR: All you have to do here is make it to the blue bullseyes onthe other side of the map. There's no real trick to it. It's prettystraight-forward. Eliminate any guards you need to on the way, but itshouldn't be too tough. Blue bullseyes and mission complete.
7R. Power Plant: Before you even think of beginning this mission you shouldmake sure that you have Nikita missiles or RC missiles in your deck. If youdon't you'll get to the end of the mission and have to go back to intermissionas they are absolutely necessary for the completion of this mission. The firstroom is pretty easy to do. Just move through it to the white bullseyes, takingcare of any guards you need to on the way. When you get to the next section move up the stairs to your left, then to the left side and all the way aroundthat wall until you get to another set of stairs, which you descend. Fromthere you should move around to a set of stairs on the opposite side and moveup them and to the left, where you will find another pair of white bullseyes.The next area contains nultiple guards in the middle and one on each side. Thebest way to take care of the guards in the center is to toss a grenade at themwhen they're all together at by the gas tank. After they die you can take outthe guards on the sides and anybody left in the middle. Make it to the whitebullseyes. The next section is where you'll need to use the RC missiles. Moveto the left so that you avoid the infrared sensor. Take out the guards and getpositioned in front of the hall with the electrified floor opposite theentrance. Fire the missile and guide it down the hall and to the left. Takeanother left, then a right and blow up the electric panel. After it's beenblown up take the same path, but skip the last right turn. Move to the leftside and in front of the hole in the wall. Fire another RC missile from there.Guide it across the next room and into the next electrified hall. Move itthrough the hole in hthe left wall and blow up the other electric panel. Afterthe next panel goes out, move down the hall it's connected to and to the whitebullseyes. The next section has guards and gas tanks in the middle and patrolbots on the right and left. Remove the guards with gas tanks and then kill thepatrol bots. Get to the white bullseyes. In the next section Snake and Telikowill once again split up and go their seperate ways while working together.First have Snake move to the control panel so that the door will open forTeliko. Move Teliko out of the room and to the next control panel. Move Snakeinto the room that has opened and to the control panel to open up the gate byTeliko. Move Teliko through and to the door. Do the same with Snake. Move themto the door that leads to the control room. Mission complete.
7S. Power Plant (again): The Power House is now completely out of power. Youhave to escape the exact same way you went in, just the opposite direction.Because of this there is really no reason to give much of a strategy. You'vegone this route before. It's not too tough. Towards the end of the level youhave to kill some guards. Nothing too strategic about any part of this level.It also goes by faster than the last because you don't have to deal with allthe guards.
7T. Outside FAR (again): Move up on the left side and move to the secondbuilding on your right. Move to the space three blocks in front of and oneblock to the left of the door when facing it and you'll get to the sewers.Mission complete.
7U. FAR: You will need sniper rifles, C4, and guided missiles for this level.Upon entrance you should move up and take a left, watching for patrol bots andsecurity cameras as you go. Move further to the left until you get to an areawith an electrified floor. Snipe the camera at the end of the hall, then senda guided missile to take out the electrical panel. Once it's gone move downthe hall and go to the control panel, which will open the locked door that thewhite bullseyes are behind. Get to them and proceed to the next section. Oncein the next section go to the room to the right and shoot the camera. Move tothe room north of there, and then blow up the wall in the north of the room.Go to the room to the left in this room. From here go through the door to theright and onto the blue bullseyes. Mission complete.
7V. FAR B3F: Time for another boss battle. It's Big Guy again, except thistime he's gone crazy. He has 1500 HP this time. Most of his attacks are thesame, so the same strategy as before will work. The main difference this timeis that there are also guards in the level. They're easily taken care of, soit's pretty much the same difficulty as before. I'd say that taking ouy theguards first would be best so that you can double-team Big Guy efficiently.Also, he is affected pretty heavily by status effects such as Burn. Use thisto your advantage. Kill Big Guy and mission complete.
7W. FAR: B4F: One of the guards has locked the door. Move around the fairlylinear path and kill all the guards you find along the way. Eventually arandom guard's death will trigger the unlocking of the door. Move through andonto the blue bullseyes. Mission complete.
7X. FAR: B5F: Yet another boss battle. This time it's Person #2. Person #2(altered for plot) will occasionally conjure up more copies of itself in orderto confuse you, so pay attention to its health so as not to confuse it with theclones. Regular strategies for fighting enemies will work here, as Person #2'sstrengths lie not in brute force, but in deception.
(This is kind of a SPOILER, but it's somewhat necessary to know. Read or not,your choice. You have been warned.)Be careful not to confuse Person #2 and Teliko. Keep track of both of theirHPs.
Person #2 has 800 HP. Defeat Person #2. Mission complete.
7Y. FAR: ???: This is the final boss battle. Your opponent is Thing (alteredfor plot.) Teliko will be inside of Thing and Snake will be outside. Give Snake RPGs, sniper rifles, and other long-range, high-damage weapons to attackThing's arms and, eventually, the area where he fires his beam. Each arm has500 HP, and both must be knocked off in order to get Thing to the next stageof the battle. Teliko can blow up control panels on the inside of Thing torenove the armor guards on the Arms. Each control panel has 500 HP. When Thingreadies its beam there will be four columns that appear on Thing's inside.These columns each have 40 HP, and if Teliko can shoot them all down beforethe beam is fired it will be de-activated. This, however, is virtuallyimpossible. When the beam is readied Snake can fire at the area of Thing thatis lowered. This area has 1000 HP. Get it to zero and you will have beaten thegame. Mission complete.

Charles Schmeiser

2009-05-07T02:55:00.000-07:00

Charles Schmeiser was an operative of the CIA involved in the Lobito Island Incident. It was revealed that he was "Emilio", and that he was responsible for orchestrating the whole mission at Lobito Island from the very beginning. In order to cover his own tracks, he successfully pinned the blame on Senator Viggo Hach, stating that he was "Emilio".

Minnette Donnel

2009-05-07T01:51:00.000-07:00

A child passenger who was aboard flight 326 during its hijacking by terrorists. She defused the bomb on board with the assistance of Alice Hazel. She was actually Constance Flemming, Dr. Flemming's daughter. After Alice died, No. 16's spirit possessed her, thereby serving as No. 16's new host.

Lena Arrow

2009-05-06T00:34:00.000-07:00

Senator Hach's assistant, who was also aboard the plane when it was hijacked, though she didn't seem to be affected as much as Senator Hach by the vercuronium bromide. This was due to the fact that she was actually an accomplice of No. 16, controlling the puppets Frances and Elsie. In the end, No. 16 turned on her and killed her using Minnette, carving No. 104 (No. 16's last competitor during the Ritual of Conjuration) onto her bones.

Viggo Hach

2009-05-06T00:28:00.000-07:00

A senator and presidential candidate who was thought to become the next president. He was on flight 326 when it was hijacked. No. 16 believed that Hach was Hans Davis and killed him, not knowing that the real Hans Davis was Charles Schmeiser, the man working under Roger McCoy.

La Clown

2009-05-06T00:21:00.000-07:00

La Clown was an assassin who could shapeshift into anyone she wanted.

During the Lobito Island Incident BEAGLE feared their hidden Pythagoras research data would be brought to light, so La Clown was hired to steal it before the Leone Unit or Solid Snake and his allies could get a hold of it, then to cover it up. La Clown captured the HRT agent known as Teliko Friedman and trapped her in a giant board game style room of her creation. She then took Teliko's place and found Snake when he was about to be killed by Leone. Clown saved Snake by throwing a stun grenade at Leone and introduced herself as "Swallowtail" and a bringer of good fortune. Clown was briefly seperated from Snake while he confronted Dr. Flemming and overheard him telling Snake that he had the Pythagoras data and that Snake had another personality called Hans Davis. Taking advantage of both pieces of information, Clown shot Flemming, causing him to drop the encrypted data, though he escaped unharmed. She then insisted that Snake hand the data over to her by claiming that Snake couldn't trust himself while Hans Davis was a threat.

Clown and Snake later survived a battle with Leone at a warehouse and attempted to pursue Flemming to FAR under the intention of forcing him to decode the Pythagoras data for them. It was around this point that Clown fired at Snake and escaped from him with the data. Snake later found out that the person he had been working for was not Teliko, but the assassin known as La Clown. When Snake found the real Teliko at the giant board game, La Clown is presumably the one who blew the room up.

La Clown later attacked Snake and Teliko at FAR-B5; still using Teliko's appearance at this point so Snake had trouble telling the two apart (even making this harder by using her hypnotism to "create" more copies of herself). Snake and Teliko eventually managed to defeat Clown who claimed that having never lost to anyone before, she felt like letting him win just to see what it was like. But she never thought losing would mean dying. Clown told Snake the location of both Flemming and Metal Gear KODOQUE; claiming that if she died right there and now, it meant that she was not the hero since the hero was supposed to survive to the end. So she concluded that made her the villain and that the villain was always supposed take the hero's side right before dying. Clown told Snake and Teliko about her incident with her childhood fire and mentioned that Snake and herself cannot be controlled by "No. 16" as they are not "name-knowers" (people who know their birthname). Snake had trouble understanding any of this and Clown simply said "I'm Swallowtail...I wish you the best of luck, Snake".

After dying, Clown's makeup dissolved and revealed burnmarks shaped like swallowtail butterflies. Teliko recognized Clown's perfume and realized that she was the killer of her father, Collin Friedman. Snake and Teliko then took the Pythagoras data from her corpse and left her where she died.

Elsie & Frances

2009-05-05T23:51:00.000-07:00

Elsie and Frances were the twin marionettes, seemingly responsible for the hijacking of flight number 326 with the help of a muscle relaxant, Vecuronium Bromide.

Gary Murray

2009-05-05T23:46:00.000-07:00

Dr. William L. Flemming was a research scientist at the Lobito Physics and Chemistry Lab and the co-creator of Project Pythagoras, along with Hans Davis.

He was originally thought to be Gary Murray, a lab assistant who escaped from Leone's men. Snake first met him in the Control Room after being contacted by him on the Codec. He told Snake that Dr. Flemming, who Snake was searching for, was located in the Residential Area. This ended up being a trap and Snake's team became suspicious of him. Gary ended up contacting Snake and Teliko when they reached BRC-026 and told them what Pythagoras really was, along with telling them that he wanted the ACUA data in order to become rich and would kill Flemming once he got what he wanted.

Gary and Snake met again inside BRC-026, where he revealed to Snake that he was actually Flemming and called Snake by the name of Hans Davis. He went on to say that Snake, as Hans, created Pythagoras and was a BEAGLE executive. He then told Snake that he would give him the data for Pythagoras, but only if he was truly Hans Davis and no longer Solid Snake. Teliko then showed up and shot the Pythagoras data out of his hands and Flemming escaped to FAR.
He showed up again to capture Leone outside of FAR while Snake and Teliko shut down the powerhouse as a part of their plan to enter FAR.
After battling Snake and Teliko using Metal Gear KODOQUE, Teliko managed to shoot and kill him, thwarting his plans.

Jeff Jones

2009-05-04T23:59:00.000-07:00

Lt. Leone (real name Jeff Jones) was the leader of a mercenary group, the Leone Unit and of the armed forces on Lobito Island.

After Solid Snake arrived on the island to finish the mission, Leone recognized the potential threat that he may pose and set up one of his men as "Dr. Flemming", who was a researcher for Pythagoras. When Snake attempted to rescue "Flemming", Leone "killed" Flemming and was about to kill Snake until a stun grenade thrown by Teliko stunned him and allowed Snake to escape. Leone intercepted Snake and Teliko at the storage wherehouse, but they escaped once more. Later on Leone's unit was badly crippled because of some ACUA Troops wearing the unit's uniforms and saw little choice but to form an alliance with Snake. Leone informed Snake that Pythagoras was a Metal Gear and that the Neotony was developed to control the ACUA soldiers, who were named as such due to a will-sapping drug called ACUA. Leone offered to help Snake gain entry into FAR in exchange for a copy of the Pythagoras data and he accepted.

While Snake disabled FAR's power supply, Leone attempted to enter, but found that Flemming had changed the passcode and Leone was captured by the ACUA Troops. Snake and Teliko later found Leone drugged on ACUA and that he was under the delusion that they were trespassing on his flower garden and attempted to kill them. Having no choice but to defend themselves, Snake and Teliko mortally wounded Leone which woke him up from ACUA's effects. Knowing that he was about to die Leone asked Snake to deliver a message to Roger McCoy which was "it wasn't me." Leone died with tranquil expression on his face when he died, at peace with his old unit commander from Vietnam finally learning that he was innocent.

Alice Hazel

2009-05-04T23:34:00.000-07:00

During the infilitration into the Lobito Physics and Chemistry Lab, Alice supported Solid Snake via Codec and provided him with necessary information on his surroundings. Her psychic powers ranged from clairvoyance to precognition.
However, throughout Snake's infilitration it seemed that she herself had some secrets to tell - including the truth about her identity. In reality, Alice was in fact "No.16" - the result of a secretive project headed by Hans Davis and Dr. William L. Flemming. She was capable of using ACUA to control people's thoughts. It was Alice (No.16) who implanted the memories of Hans Davis into the mind of Snake, in addition she also controlled the hijackers who took over Flight 326. After Snake defeated Metal Gear KODOQUE, the memories of all the people she had controlled came back to her simultaneously, causing a shock which led to her collapsing, unable to resist the pain and resulting in her immediate death.

Roger McCoy

2009-05-04T00:28:00.000-07:00

Roger McCoy was a member of the CIA and the leader of the mission to obtain the Pythagoras data from BEAGLE, during the Lobito Island Incident. However he was suspected of ulterior motives as he had been out of the business for sometime and also chose Solid Snake for the mission, which involved getting Snake out of retirement. He was also the mentor of Teliko.

Teliko Friedman

2009-05-04T00:24:00.000-07:00

Teliko was a member of the Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) for the FBI.
The daughter of an American father and a Japanese mother, her name in Japanese was originally "Teruko," meaning "shining child." When a typo rendered it as "Teliko" upon joinging the HRT, she decided to keep it as such. In her past, she once served under Roger McCoy. Her father was murdered by corrupt statesmen, though it was successfully covered up as a suicide. Teliko knew the truth however, and vowed to bring her father's murderers to justice.
Prior to Solid Snake's infilitration of Lobito Island, Teliko and her unit were sent in, though her team was wiped out and she was captured by Lt. Leone. Later she was forced to play a game with Snake in "Dream Town" - a fantasy gameboard-type room. Afterwards, Teliko assisted Snake in his mission and eventually discovered that La Clown was the one responsible for the death of her father.

Solid Snake

2009-05-03T00:18:00.000-07:00

Solid Snake is the main character in Metal Gear Acid. He came out of retirement to help the FBI in a mission to obtain the Pythagoras data but then begins to find out that he has worked at BEAGLE before as Hans Davis, which he's only led to believe. For more information see Hans Davis. He supposedly dies sometime during Acid.

Story

2009-05-02T23:34:00.000-07:00

In 2016, a jumbo jet carrying Senator Hach, an important politician and likely future presidential candidate, is hijacked by terrorists. In exchange for the senator, the terrorists demand Pythagoras, a research project being conducted in the Moloni Republic in southern Africa, from the United States government. In efforts to identify these terrorists, the government begins an investigation of Pythagoras.

The Moloni government refuses to cooperate and work with the United States, saying that it doesn't want to interfere in its current affairs. In response, the US sends in a covert special forces team to investigate, but the team is obliterated by armed resistance. With no other options and time running out, the US government calls Solid Snake to infiltrate the laboratory, discover the nature of Pythagoras and to rescue Senator Hach.

Gameplay

2009-05-01T00:17:00.000-07:00

Acid focuses on turn-based tactics. It uses a trading card-based system to control the main character's movements and actions. Acid stands for "Active Command Intelligence Duel". While the cards are not truly collectible because the game is complete with a single purchase, it does feature deck design and deck optimization elements.

Before each round, the player can customize the deck of cards used by the main characters. The majority of the cards are based upon elements spanning the entire Metal Gear series, such as weaponry, characters, and even the Metal Gear. The player's hand can consist of a maximum of six cards, while the maximum number of cards in a deck increases with overall progress. In action, the player can choose to use the cards as they are intended, or use them to move the character. Most cards only allow the player to move three spaces, while certain cards let the player move up to six or higher.

Cost is an important factor in game play, and can be summed up as the weight of the player's action. With some exceptions, all cards have a cost attached to them, and when used this cost transfers to the player. Cost varies radically from card to card. The higher the cost a character has, the longer that character must wait until their next turn. For example, if a player character has a cost of 15 and a guard has a cost of 10, then the guard's turn would occur before the character's.

Some cards can be equipped, and cards such as weapon cards can have other cards attached to them in order to improve performance. In order to fire the weapon, another weapon card that uses the same kind of ammunition must be equipped. Some weapons don't need to be equipped and can be used by themselves, however they are discarded afterwards. Other cards that can be equipped are equipment cards and action cards.

Multiplayer, or "Link Battle", is also a new feature. Two PSP systems running Acid can link wirelessly, allowing players to face each other in a "sneak-off". The objective is to collect a certain number of diskettes before the rival player. Diskettes can be stolen by another player, so there is an emphasis on avoiding detection.

About Game

2009-05-01T00:08:00.000-07:00

Metal Gear Acid is a turn-based collectible card video game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan for the PlayStation Portable handheld game console. The game was first unveiled at E³ 2004 in May, and was released in Japan on December 16, 2004, and in North America on March 22, 2005.

While the Metal Gear series, despite being stealth-based, has always had a heavy influence on action, Metal Gear Acid is not action-oriented but focuses on turn-based strategy (this is why the game's logo lacks the "Tactical Espionage Action" tagline featured on all of the Metal Gear Solid games). It uses a trading card-based system to control the main character's movements and actions. Metal Gear Acid is a "side-story" and not part of the series' main storyline (similar to the earlier Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, and the even earlier Snake's Revenge).

Game Boy Color

2009-04-18T00:24:00.000-07:00

The Game Boy Color is Nintendo's successor to the Game Boy and was released on October 21, 1998 in Japan, November 19, 1998 in North America, November 23, 1998 in Europe and November 27, 1998 in UK. It features a color screen and is slightly thicker and taller than the Game Boy Pocket. As with the original Game Boy, it has an 8-bit processor. The Game Boy and Game Boy Color combined have sold 118.69 million units worldwide.

The Game Boy Color was a response to pressure from game developers for a new and much more sophisticated system of playing, as they felt that the Game Boy, even in its latest incarnation, the Game Boy Pocket, was insufficient. The resultant product was backward compatible, a first for a handheld system, and leveraged the large library of games and great installed base of the predecessor system. This became a major feature of the Game Boy line, since it allowed each new launch to begin with a significantly larger library than any of its competitors.

The Game Boy and Game Boy Color combined have sold 118.69 million units worldwide, with 32.47 million units in Japan, 44.06 million in the Americas, and 42.16 million in other regions.

MGS Mobile

2009-04-16T00:10:00.000-07:00

Metal Gear Solid Mobile is a Metal Gear game for mobile phones. It was announced at the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Party. It is available for download in Japan and North America. For now, the North American version of the game is exclusive to the Verizon network. On February 14th, 2008, Metal Gear Solid Mobile won the "Grand Prix" and "Operator's Choice" awards at the 2008 International Mobile Gaming Awards.

Players play as Solid Snake using the keypad on the phone. Gameplay is a combination of Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3. For example, the player can take pictures using the phone's digital camera and transfer them onto Snake's sneaking suit, creating an all new camouflage to wear. The camera also controls the in-game camera, and will also be able to aim Nikita missiles. Hanging off ledges and hiding in lockers will also be possible. VR missions are also included.

The story takes place between Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2, and follows the early days of Philanthropy. Ocelot has leaked all the technical information for Metal Gear REX onto the black market. As a counter-measure, Solid Snake and Otacon form Philanthropy. It isn't long until Otacon receives his first lead on development of a new Metal Gear. Victoria Reed, an AI (artificial intelligence) programmer, learns that the technology she has been developing will be used in a fearsome weapon of destruction. She becomes a whistle-blower and attempts to escape from the facility. She places her trust in Otacon, and now Snake has been dispatched on a solo mission to infiltrate the facility and rescue the scientist.

Upon reaching the facility it becomes evident that the military holding the plans for the new Metal Gear REX is non-aggressive. Despite this, Snake infiltrates the facility and eventually reaches the basement, where he is captured in a cell. Snake is contacted via codec frequency 116.66 by the terrorist leader, named simply Commander, and it is revealed to the player that Victoria Reed was an AI program herself (Victoria Reed's initials are VR), created by the terrorists to lure Snake into the facility and deactivate their security system, allowing the terrorists to essentially walk right in and commandeer the REX stored in the basement. Snake escapes his cell and makes his way to the REX, avoiding the Semtex charges now lining most of the base and machine-gun mounted sentries along the way.

En route to the basement, Snake uses C4 to open a cracked wall and when he walks through the newly formed hole, the room flashes green and blue and becomes blurry and artificial. Strange codec calls come in from not only Otacon, but also Commander, breaking the fourth wall and urging the player to turn off their cell phone. The real Otacon then contacts Snake, alarming him that he has been drugged and kidnapped and placed into a virtual reality simulation, and he is in the process of hacking the simulation to save Snake. He says that he's been trying to reveal the identity of the group that kidnapped him, but has been unable to do so, however, due to the technology used in the VR simulation. He comments that judging by the complexity of the program, the programmers must have near-unlimited resources, hinting at the group being The Patriots. He then remarks that since Snake is so far into the simulation, it may be easier to just complete the objective and destroy the fictional Metal Gear than to even bother hacking him out. Snake agrees, encounters Commander on top of a VR Metal Gear REX, and easily dispatches him using a combination of the FAMAS and Nikita rocket launcher.

Snake then wakes up to unnamed voices speaking. They say that while Snake did prove useful, he failed to provide them with the battle data they needed for the Project, and they instruct someone to erase all memories of the simulation and dump him back where they kidnapped him. One unnamed voice then says that they already have the second test subject lined up. One of the voices then says, "...Let's see if Jack can do better."

MGGB Reception

2009-04-15T00:12:00.000-07:00

The game was extremely well received by critics, achieving an average of 95.92% at Game Rankings. It is the 11th best-rated game on the site.

It achieved a perfect 10/10 on video game website IGN. Nintendo Power listed it as the 11th best Game Boy/Game Boy Color video game, praising it for successfully bringing elements from the three dimensional games as well as being better than previous two dimensional installments.

MGGB Production

2009-04-12T01:42:00.000-07:00

The game was produced under the request of Konami's European division to release a Game Boy Color version of Metal Gear Solid.

In the Japanese and European releases of the game, the CODEC frequency 140.07 (see James Bond) is included next to Shuyo Murata's entry in the credits. Calling this channel in-game launches Idea Spy 2.5, a comical radio play. Murata would go on to write a similarly styled extra in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, before co-writing Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and becoming co-director of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. In 2006, Idea Spy 2.5 was adapted into an actual radio drama streamed on Konami of Japan's website, with Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima playing the title role. Shuyo Murata also plays one of the boss characters. The full drama was released on CD in Japan on February 14th, 2007.

*5. Prologue*
*************
A C-5 Galaxy transport plane carrying nuclear missiles and Metal Gear
researchers was hijacked on route to South America. The United States
Government has tracked the transport to Gindra, a small nation in Central
Africa. A Civil War is going on in Gindra. UN Peace Keeping Troops have been
deployed to calm the incident. The Gindra Liberation Front, or GLF as it is
more commonly know, under the control of General Augistine Erborn is in
control of Gindra at the moment. He demands that the UN Peace Keeping Troops
are removed from Gindra and that Gindra be recognized as an independent nation
by the United States or he will launch a devastating nuclear strike to the
United States by the usage of Metal Gear. The GLF operates in the Galude
Mountains in a place formally known as "Outer Heaven", the place where Snake
defeated Big Boss and Metal Gear seven years ago. Your mission is to
infiltrate the fortress Galude, rescue the Metal Gear researchers, and
neutralize Metal Gear before it's assembly is complete. Steve Gardner, the
US National Security Advisor, is overseeing the mission from Washington D.C.
John Parker, a top Army chief, has already deployed Delta Force agents in
the area to neutralize the threat. You are not to alert them to your presence.

KEY: Here is a little key that tells you what my symbols mean.
+++NAME OF PLACE+++: New location
---NAME OF EQUIPMENT---: New Equipment
===NAME OF WEAPON===: New Weapon
==-NAME OF AMMO-==: New Ammo
I will only put symbols around new equipment/locations/weapons/ammo. If I
mention it more than once it will only be in caps.

I. Solid Snake's Entrance:
You(Solid Snake) are parachuted into the +++Jungle+++ in Outer Heaven. Snake
heads north and are contacted by Colonel Campbell. Campbell explains your
mission objectives and Mei Ling explains the radar and CODEC to you. Head
up to the first guard and punch him three times to knock him out. Do the same
to the second guard and head north. Head around the right side of the plants
to avoid the guard ahead. Head north along the path. You will soon see a guard
heading towards you. Knock him out and take the ---RATION--- that he drops.
Continue along the path to get the ===FIVE-SEVEN HANDGUN===. Head back along
the path to where you first entered the screen. Head right from here. From
here, head north along the path and avoid the guards. Knock them out if need
be. Continue on to the next screen. Here you will see a guard sleeping in
a field. Head left and up to get a RATION. Head to the right towards the end
of the field. Wait until the guards pass you and head north. Head north on
this screen and keep avoiding guards. Knock them out if needed. You will soon
come to a bridge with a guard on it. To the left is a RATION. Pick it up if
needed. Head across the bridge and dispose of the three guards on the bridge.
Head north to end the stage.

II. Infiltrate Enemy Fortress Galude:
Campbell contacts Snake and tells him that Delta Force was wiped out. Weasel
makes his introduction to Snake as does CIA director McBride. Campbell tells
Snake to watch out for cameras. Head right behind the boxes to avoid the
cameras. Head down below the plant and on to the next screen. Hug the bottom
wall and head right. You see a guard coming out of the door heading to the
right. Don't go in the open door. Instead, follow the guard to the right.
Go all the way to the right and into the door. Inside you will hear two guards
talking about a shift change. Once the guard leaves, head up and grab the
---SUPRESSOR---. You can now fire your HANDGUN without anyone hearing it.
Exit the room and head back to the open door that the guard came out of. You
are now in the +++COMPOUND+++. Head north and then go right. Go pass the locked
chain door and into the open area. Run pass the boxes and go into the door.
Inside this room you will find ==-HANDGUN AMMO-==. Take the ammo and exit
the room. Head right and enter the chained door. On the left wall there will
be a camera. Run around the left side of the boxes to avoid it. Enter the
door. Run around the trucks, head left, and enter the door. In here you will
find a RATION. Take it and exit the room. Enter the chained door on the right.
Continue north and enter the next chained door. Head left past the truck.
There will be a guard patrolling around some boxes. Avoid him and proceed
left. Avoid the next guard and continue left. When you reach the next screen,
you will receive a call from Chris Jenner of Delta Force. She is the sole
survivor of the Delta Force squad. She talks about the "Black Chamber"
mercenary group that killed the rest of Delta Force. He says their leader
is called Viper. She said that they were ambushed. Snake believes that the
mission was leaked. McBride says that the mission is absolutely classified
and that there is no way it could have been compromised. Weasel says there
is always someone who is welling to sell out to the highest bidder. McBride
says there is no risk of spies here. Campbell says this mission is top secret
and only a handful of people know about it. Chris confirms that Metal Gear
is inside the fortress. She says that it is near completion and that all the
researchers have been confined to another building. Jenner says that she
entered the fortress through the drainage system. She says that there are
ways into the drainage system by going into the recessed east walls in the
buildings. Chris refuses to leave the fortress after Snake demands her to.
Campbell convinces Snake that having an ally could be useful. Keep heading
left, but stay to the bottom part of the screen to avoid cameras on the north
wall. When you come upon a truck, enter it. Behind the boxes it ---ID CARD
1---. Take it and exit the truck. Head back right. When you change screens,
head down and left. Crawl under the hole in the fence that you see and into
the door. Sneak around the vents, avoid the guard, and grab the RATION. Exit
the room and head left. Go as far left as you can and head south through the
chained door. Keep heading south and go around the boxes into the door. Inside
this room you will find the ===R5 ASSAULT RIFLE===. Take it and exit the room.
Head back the way you came and go through the two chained doors again. Head
all the way right and all the way down. Head left and go up through the first
chain door that you see. Go through the bottom part of the recess you see
in the building and head down the ladder. Head left and go down the ladder
to end stage two.

III. A Journey Through The Sewers
You are now in the +++SEWERS+++ of Outer Heaven. Campbell contacts you and
tells you to make contact with Chris. He says that she is in the watchtower
above. Follow the path until you come to a door on your right. Enter it to
get HANDGUN AMMO. Exit the room and knock out the guard patrolling the area
and continue northward. On the next screen, go all the way north and pickup
the RATION. Head right to the next screen and you will see a rat coming towards
you. Proceed forward along the path. Head south and stay on the far right
wall to avoid the guard and the camera. Continue south to the next screen
while avoiding the guards. Keep following the path and head north when you
come to the dead end. Go around the rocks and keep moving north. You will
hear two guards talking about withdrawing from the area because the river
had flood. When the guards leave, head north. When you see the water coming
your way, climb on the ladder to your right and wait for the water to pass
you and continue onward. When you start heading left, climb on the ladder
on the north wall to avoid the water. Continue on and climb up the next ladder
on the north wall and wait for the water to pass. Head around the south side
of the rocks and again climb the ladder on the north wall and wait for the
water to pass. Continue onward when the water passes. Climb the next ladder
on the left wall and repeat the process. Again with the ladder on the north
wall. Two more north wall ladders on the next screen, but on the second one,
climb all the way up it to reach the +++WATCHTOWER+++. Campbell will call
you and tell you to meet up with Chris. He says that she is disguised. He
says she has a red cap on and hair tied up at the back. Go up through the
door and then head left through the next door. Wait for the guard in this
room to turn his back on you and knock him out and move on. Grab the ration
in the room next to the guard. Head south from here. Go through the door and
use the green box to avoid being seen by the cameras. Continue southward.
Avoid the guard in the next room and head right. In this room, stay against
the north wall and crawl over the vents. When you reach the right wall, head
into the door. Go around the wall, knock out the guard and head north into
the room on the left. In this room, pickup the HANDGUN AMMO. Exit the room
and head north. Go around the room and head into the north door on the right
wall. In this room are laser traps. Use your ---FOGGER--- to see when the
laser traps vanish. When they do, run past them. Campbell call you and tells
you about the lasers. Head through the north door when you are through the
maze. Head right from here. Wait behind the green box until the guard heads
back. When he does, knock him out and head south. Watch out for the camera
on the right wall. Head up and grab the ---GAS MASK--- next to the door. Then
head all the way back out to the room before the laser maze. In here, avoid
the guard and the camera against the right wall and enter the south door on
the right wall. Continue until the gas in the room turns on and Campbell
contacts you. He will tell you to use a GAS MASK to get through the room.
Equip your new GAS MASK and make your way though the room safely. There is
gas in the next room too so keep it equipped, make your way through the room,
knock out the guard, and make your way through the door on the right. Knock
out the guard patrolling this room and grab ---ID CARD 2--- in the bottom
right corner of the room. Exit the room. Knock out the guard in this room
and enter the north door of this room. Head north along the right wall avoiding
the camera and enter the door on the right. Head south from here. Get in the
elevator and head up to the second floor. Enter the north door once you get
to the second floor. Go through the next door and avoid the guards in this
room. Head straight into the next room. In this room, grab the HANDGUN AMMO
and exit the room. Head south, around the wall, and into the door. Keep going
south and knock out the guard ahead of you. Head around the spiral and go
in the door on the left wall. In this room, avoid the guard and head into
the door on the left. You have now come across another laser trap room. Do
the same thing you did to avoid them in the last room and enter the door on
the north wall. Go through the next door as well. In this room there will
be two guards. One of them is Chris. Knockout the one that is not Chris and
make contact with Chris. She will tell you to follow her and that will end
the stage.

IV. Follow The Leader
Chris will tell you about Jimmy Harks, the lead developer of the Metal Gear
project. She will tell you that he is being held captive in the +++BARRAKCS+++
north of the WATCHTOWER. She tells you to follow her to get out of the
WATCHTOWER. You then receive a call from Campbell telling you to rescue Jimmy
Harks. Head around, avoid the guard in the room, and go in the door that Chris
went through. Avoid the camera that is hoisted up on the north wall. Use your
FOGGER once again to get through the laser trap maze and keep following Chris.
There are three turrets in this next room so be cautious as you proceed
through. There are some ===CHAFF GRENADES== on the south side of the center
wall you can use to avoid the turrets. This next room is a spiral. Just follow
it around while knocking out any guards that get in your way and keep following
Chris. In the next room, just take the elevator down. When you're off the
elevator, head north and left through the two doors. Once again you see Chris
enter a door. Go around the room, avoid the guard near the door and the camera
on the east and west wall and proceed to the next room. Go south and you will
be in a laser trap room. Use your FOGGER once again to navigate the room and
exit via the door on the left. In this next room, quickly move to the north
door so the guard below you doesn't spot you. When you are outside, Chris
will tell you that Jimmy is held up in the BARRACKS to the northeast of your
present location. Chris says she is going to check the +++POWER PLANT+++ to
the north. She says something strange is going on there. She says Metal Gear
could be stored there. Campbell contacts you and tells you to head for the
BARRACKS. Head east of your present location and you will come upon a
patrolling guard. Knock him out and grab the RATIONS in the southeast corner
of the area. Once you grab those, keep behind the blue box until the camera
is out of the way and continue eastward. Here you will see a guard entering
in a pass code to get through security gates. After he is gone, head down
and in the truck you will find some CHAFF GRENADES. Take them and exit the
truck. To get through the security gates, you must figure out a set password
that changes every time you play the game. Pay attention to which doors a
certain switch opens and closes and that should help you figure out the
puzzle. I have figured out that the last switch you push always opens doors
3 and 4(numbering from the bottom), one of the switches moves one door two
places up, and one door operates on a 1:2 ratio (for every door closed, it
closes an extra one). When finished, head northward. On this screen, hug the
south wall to avoid waking the bird, which acts as an alarm for the guards.
Again remain on the south wall for the next screen and then head north against
the far west wall. This screen has man's not-so-best-friend patrolling the
area. Avoid them best as possible and grab the ===GRENADES=== on the right
side of the area. Keep continuing northward. On the next screen, go around
the field and hug the left wall. Head up and grab the HANDGUN AMMO. Avoid
the first guard and knock out the second and continue north. Here you see
more K9s. A boomerang will also randomly come and attempt to attack you. Avoid
it and the dogs and head west. Here are three birds and a guard. Hug the south
wall and then the west wall to avoid them and continue north. Grab the ==-R5
AMMO-== behind the rock on your way. More dogs in your way. Avoid them and
grab the RAITON to the north and head to the next screen. Press the button
to open the door on the far right. Head back to the area where you first saw
the boomerang and head east while avoiding the dogs. There are two trucks
on this screen. The one on the left has a RATION and GRENADES in it and the
one on the right just has GRENADES. Exit the truck and head north. Avoid the
dogs guarding the screen by staying on the east wall. Pickup the GRENADES
on the northeast part of the screen and head west. Go through the door you
opened earlier and you will find three GRENADES pouches and a RATION. Equip
your RATIONS and GRENADES and when ready, head north.

***BOSS FIGHT #1***
Slasher Hawk

An unknown voice startles Snake by saying his name. This voice turns out to
be none other than a "Black Chamber" member and your first boss fight, Slasher
Hawk. He calls the Delta Force wipeout a "boring little cleanup job". He says
Snake is a very special name to "Black Chamber". He says that "Black Chamber"
has no interest in the General's ideas or bid for independence. He says that
"Black Chamber", not FOX-HOUND, is the world's best special forces unit. He
then lobs a boomerang a Snake that he easily avoids. He says that his people
call it a "wilgi". He then initiates your first boss fight. Run up as close
to the wall as you can get and start lobbing GRENADES at Slasher Hawk. After
taking several hits, he says he will continue to fight as long as the Hawk
flies. Ignore his comments and keep doing what you're doing, but watch out
for the Hawk as well as his duel boomerangs. Within no time Slasher Hawk will
be no more than just an ordinary Hawk. Slasher Hawk will spout off some useless
nonsense about "Black Chamber" and that is the end of the stage.

V. Hail to the Chief
Once you enter the building, Campbell tells you calls you and tells you that
you must rescue Jimmy Harks, the Chief Engineer of Metal Gear. Start off by
making note of the elevator in front of you and then head left through the
doorway. Enter the door right above you to grab ---CARDBOARD BOX Y---. Once
you grab the box, head back to the elevator that you saw when you started
the stage and take it to the second floor. Exit the elevator and go around
the room up to the conveyer belts. Go to the conveyer belt at the top of the
screen and use CARDBOARD BOX Y to ride the conveyer belt. When the conveyer
belt has reached it's final destination, it will drop you on a lift which
will take you to a room where you will obtain ---CARDBOARD BOX R---. Use
CARDBOARD BOX R to ride the conveyer belt in this room to another lift. In
this room, grab the GERNADES and head right. Hide behind the boxes and wait
for the guard to come to you and punch him several times to knock him out.
Hurry around the boxes and head into the room at the top of the screen and
grab the CHAFF GERNADES. Hurry out of the room and continue to the right.
When you come out of the path, quickly hide behind the box in front of you
to avoid the camera on the right wall. Use the crates as cover and proceed
down and to the left. Follow the path left and grab the ===STUN GERNADES===.
Beware of the guard on the metal grates as you head left. Head around the
room and watch out for the guard again. Head right and avoid detection by
the camera, then head down. Head right around the elevator and take it to
the second floor. Go around the room and back to the conveyer belts that you
saw earlier. Use CARDBOARD BOX Y again to ride the top conveyer belt. After
the fourth junction, switch to CARDBOARD BOX R. Once you get off the conveyer
belt, put on your GAS MASK and head down the ladder. Head down the left side
of the room to pickup ---ID CARD 3---. Hide behind the boxes at the top of
the screen on the left side and wait for the guard to come around. Knock him
out and proceed around the right side of the room. Use ID CARD 3 to enter
the door. Head down the left side of the crates and avoid the camera and the
guard. If you come in contact with the guard, knock him out and head left.
Keep going until you reach the lift that you saw at the beginning of the stage.
Take it to the second floor. Go around the room to the conveyer belts and
use CARDBOARD BOX Y again to ride the top conveyer belt. After the third
junction point, switch to CARDBOARD BOX R. After the fourth junction point,
switch back to CARDBOARD BOX Y. Last but not least, switch back to CARDBOARD
BOX R after the fifth junction point.

When you finish with the conveyer belts you will arrive in a room with another
conveyer belt and a door. Use ID CARD 3 to enter the door. Head around the
crates and avoid the guard. Make your way up to the upper right corner of
the room to grab the RATIONS. Head left to the next room and grab the STUN
GERNADES in the upper left corner of that room. Use any box to ride the
conveyer belt at the bottom of the room to the lift. When you get off the
lift, head left and grab ---CARDBOARD BOX B---. Use any box to ride the
conveyer belt to the next room to ride the lift. Follow the path around the
room. When you start to head north on the path, take out the guard and continue
north. Grab the STUN GRENADES to your right and then proceed to the left.
Head up when the path forks then take a left and the down as soon as you can.
Follow the path until you can go down into the next room. Go right around
the elevator and take it to the second floor again. Use CARDBOARD BOX Y again
to ride the conveyer belt. Switch to CARDBOARD BOX B after the first junction.
Switch back to CARDBOARD BOX Y after the second junction. Back to CARDBOARD
BOX B after the third junction and finally back to CARDBOARD BOX Y after the
fourth junction. When you finish with that mess, you will enter a big maze
of crates. Beware of any guards or cameras that you may encounter along the
way, head left and grab the R5 AMMO. Continue left until you reach a dead
end. Now head all the way to the north. Grab the RATIONS and head all the
way to the right. Grab the HANDGUN AMMO along the way. Now head all the way
down and use CARDBOARD BOX B to ride the conveyer belt. After the first
junction, switch to CARDBOARD BOX R and ride it to the lift. Grab the
---THERMAL GOGGLES--- when you get off the lift and head right through the
door. Ride the conveyer belt using any box to the lift. Take a shot at the
sleeping guard and head up and grab the R5 AMMO then head left. Follow the
path down then left after the passage with the metal floor. Head around the
room and avoid the guard on the metal floor. Watch out for the camera and
head down. Go on the right side of the room to the elevator and take it to
the second floor. Go to the top conveyer belt again and use CARDBOARD BOX
Y again to ride the conveyer belt. Switch to CARDBOARD BOX B after the first
junction. Switch back to CARDBOARD BOX Y after the second junction. Back to
CARDBOARD BOX B after the third junction and finally back to CARDBOARD BOX
Y after the fourth junction.

You are in the box maze room again. Go around the room as you did before,
but go in the door on the right side of the room. Equip your THERMAL GOOGLES
and head through the room when the lasers disappear. Use whichever path in
convenient for you at the time. Enter the door at the end of the room. Head
through the room and down the stairs to the first floor. Head left and use
the crates to avoid the cameras on both sides of the room. Continue to the
left and the head down when you get the chance. Keep going down and avoid
the guards. Head right the first chance you get and enter the first door marked
A-1. Continue north and you will find Jimmy Harks. He will tell you to get
him out of here. He tells you that he was thrown in prison after Metal Gear
neared completion. The conversation carries on its usual Snake rescues
prisoner sequence of all Metal Gear games where the prisoner insults Snake
and he explains that he is a loner and all that stuff. Then Jimmy tells you
that the east wall of the room is hollow. Exit through A-1 and head right.
Enter B-1 and grab the ===C4=== in the first room. Head up and grab the R5
AMMO in B-3. Head out of B-1 and all the way back to the box maze. Use CARDBOARD
BOX B on the conveyer belt. After the first junction, switch to CARDBOARD
BOX R. Take the lift down and use the C4 on the left wall. This will take
you to Jimmy and it will end the stage.

Black Chamber

2009-04-10T03:07:00.000-07:00

Black Chamber was a Special Forces group founded after the Outer Heaven Crisis to act as a sort of "shadow FOXHOUND." After Solid Snake's sucess with Operation Intrude N313, FOXHOUND became too well known to the general populace and was therefore under closer surveillance by rival intelligence bodies. Black Chamber was founded to perform operations that FOXHOUND would perform normally, but they weren't under surveillance like FOXHOUND was at the time.

Two years before the Galuade Incident Black Chamber was ordered to retrieve a U.S built Metal Gear, which had been seized by South American terrorists at the time. Black Chamber succeded in destroying this Metal Gear, but the U.S government feared that Metal Gear's construction and Black Chamber's existence would be revealed to the public, so the unit was attacked by FOXHOUND (under Colonel Campbell's command, acting under false information) shortly after their return home.

Only five members survived that attack, but they escaped, vowing revenge against Solid Snake, Colonel Campbell and "Anonymous," the man who had ordered their termination. They became mercenaries until they later resurfaced as terrorists during the Galuade Incident, in which the remaining five members were killed.

Black Arts Viper

2009-04-08T01:55:00.000-07:00

Black Arts Viper is the leader of Black Chamber and, along with Weasel and Solid Snake, is considered one of the world's best professionals of war. Despite this, his identity was completely unknown to the mercenary world before the disolution of Black Chamber, due to the intense secrecy surrounding the group. The first half of his moniker, Black Arts, comes from his skill with explosives and boobytraps; he uses brilliantly intricate wire and mine traps to completely dominate a battlefield, without his enemies even being able to understand what's happening around them, like some sort of black magic. The second half, Viper, a poisonous snake, comes from his goal of surpassing Snake and bringing Black Chamber out of FOXHOUND's shadow.

Two years prior to the events of Galuade Incident, Viper and the rest of Black Chamber successfully recovered a prototype Metal Gear that had been hijacked by terrorists in South America, but upon returning were ambushed by FOXHOUND under orders from Roy Campbell. In the struggle, Viper lost his left arm and sustained internal injuries which should have killed him, though his hatred allowed him to survive and he swore to avenge his fallen comrades using Metal Gear GANDER.

During the Galuade Incident, he first encounters Snake after kidnapping Chris Jenner, and the two do battle in a room filled with tripwire explosives, the configuration of which Viper constantly alters. After Metal Gear GANDER is destroyed, Viper reveals that its true destructive capacity is its satellite uplink to nuclear-equipped attack satellites, and Snake is again forced to do battle with him aboard an elevator, to prevent Viper from activating the uplink upon reaching the surface. In both fights, Viper makes use of his prosthetic left arm, which is outfitted with a number of tricks, allowing him to blind his opponents with a flash light and emit shockwaves through his punches, among other abilities.

Viper is ultimately unsuccessful, and dies expressing regret for his inability to get revenge for the slain members of Black Chamber.

Pyro Bison

2009-04-08T01:31:00.000-07:00

Pyro Bison is a member of Black Chamber and a pyromaniac who is obsessed with his flamethrower, despite it being a less effective and more cumbersome weapon. He wears a custom body suit made of flame-proof material lined with ceramic plating, and uses a special blend of fuel which he states burns more purely and fiercly than any other flame; together, the suit and fuel tank weigh at least 300 lbs., indicating that he has considerable strength. A considerable amount of his body is covered in disfiguring burn scars, though how exactly he obtained them is unknown.

Unlike other members of Black Chamber, he doesn't reveal any details about his past. Instead, when defeated, he accuses Snake of being a sinner, commenting on how many he's killed so far on this mission, and reveals the history of Black Chamber and its relationship with FOXHOUND. He then expounds on his belief that fire cleanses both sinners and the innocent and is engulfed in flames as his fuel tank explodes, dying while crying out in seeming ecstacy.

Slasher Hawk

2009-04-07T11:58:00.000-07:00

Slasher Hawk is an Australian member of Black Chamber who was raised as an Aborigine. He is accompanied in battle by a hawk, revered as guardian deity in his tribe and his personal totem, which he found as an orphaned chick on a battlefield. In combat he weilds a pair of wilgis, massive steel boomeranges capable of cleaving a calf in two, attacking with both simultaneously using a technique inspired by juggling and Chinese martial arts.

Following his defeat at the hands of Solid Snake, he explains that he had been abandoned by his birth parents and was taken in by an Aborigine couple, who raised him as their own despite opposition from the village elders. He observered their customs and taboos in an attempt to gain acceptance, but when his parents died, was rejected by the tribe and forced to leave the village. After years of wandering the world as an outsider, he met Black Arts Viper and was recruited into Black Chamber. Before he dies, he tells Snake that funeral pyres are forbidden by his tribe and that his hawk will carry his soul home, wondering if he will at last be accepted by his people.

Marionette Owl

2009-04-06T12:12:00.000-07:00

Marionette Owl is a member of Black Chamber who, due to a genetic mutation, was born with night vision on par with that of an owl. As a result, he is skilled in nocturnal combat and is a master of the silent kill, however, because his eyes shimmer in the dark like a cat's, he wears tinted goggles. He always carries a pair of Japanese Bunraku dolls, named Osan and Koharu , which he compulsively takes apart and puts back together during any free time he has. In truth, the marionettes were crafted from the severed limbs of victims he murdered while living in the United States as a serial killer known to the media as "Spectre" and "The Spectre Killer". He slayed numerous women and was featured on the Most Wanted list until he was cornered by the FBI, when Black Arts Viper recruited him into Black Chamber.

Weasel

2009-04-04T11:21:00.000-07:00

Rheaunalt Lensenbrink, better known as the Weasel, is a member of Solid Snake's support crew in Metal Gear: Ghost Babel. He is a mercenary said to be one of the most well known and resourceful in the world, who keeps himself informed about current mercenary activities around the globe thanks to his private connections. He earned the nickname "Weasel" due to his ferocity and cunningness, which he doesn't mind.

During the Galuade incident, Weasel was working for Steve Gardner, the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence, to monitor Solid Snake and his support crew and eliminate anyone with knowledge of Gardner's involvement in Project Babel. Although, Weasel kills Brian McBride, he decides to spare Mei Ling and Roy Campbell after developing a friendship with them.

His main adversaries are Black Chamber, a group of mercenaries with abilities and codenames resembling those of FOXHOUND. In the end, he uncovers a conspiracy involving the GLF and US Government.

Gameplay

2009-04-01T03:35:00.000-07:00

Ghost Babel uses the same 2D overhead gameplay format of the early Metal Gear games for the MSX2 and NES, but with a few elements of the PlayStation game Metal Gear Solid included as well. As with previous Metal Gear games, the objective is to infiltrate an occupied enemy base while avoiding detection from guards and surveillance systems. The player can acquire numerous items and weapons to help them fulfill their mission. Unlike the earlier 2D games, the player can explore an entire portion of an area in one screen instead of merely changing from one screen to the next. The player can lean into walls and move the position of the camera above Snake's back or have Snake tap into the wall. The player can also move diagonally as well. Almost all the weapons from the PlayStation version are included, with the exception of the Stinger missiles (which required the use of the radar in Metal Gear 2) and the sniper rifle. Like in Metal Gear Solid, the player can use the communication device, Codec, to receive information from allies and save their progress.

Unlike the console installments, Ghost Babel uses a stage-based structure, with a total of 13 stages. After completing a stage, the player's performance is graded from "Terrible" to "Excellent". The player can replay previously completed stages in the Stage Select mode for a higher ranking. After the game is completed, a Special sub-mode becomes available where the player can replay the stages with new objectives (such as collecting FOXHOUND emblems or completing the stage without being seen). Other additional game modes include VR Training, where the player can test their sneaking and shooting skills in over 180 missions (most of them taken from the Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions expansion), and Vs. Battle, where one player competes against another in a mission via link cable.

About Game

2009-04-01T02:30:00.000-07:00

Metal Gear Solid, released in Japan and Asia as Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, is a 2000 stealth action game produced by Konami for the Game Boy Color. Based on the 1998 PlayStation game of the same title, the Game Boy Color version of Metal Gear Solid (or Ghost Babel) is not a conversion of the previous game, but an original game produced specifically for the portable platform. The story of Ghost Babel is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the original Metal Gear Solid, but instead serves as an alternate sequel to the events of the Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, the sequel to the original Metal Gear.

Metal Gear: Ghost Babel was the first ever handheld Metal Gear title and was for the Nintendo Game Boy Color.It was released in the United States under the title Metal Gear Solid. The gameplay is a hybrid of watered-down Metal Gear Solid and slightly updated Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. It is a non canon game, not taking place in the main timeline. In its own timeline however, the game is set 7 years after the events of Metal Gear (2002).

MG2 Mobile Phone version

2009-03-16T00:38:00.000-07:00

On October 1, 2004, Konami released a mobile phone version of Metal Gear 2 in Japan for the i-Mode, EZweb and Vodafone services. This was the first time the game was ported to another platform since its original MSX2 release in 1990. Several changes were made in order to modernize the game:

New game modes and items - All the new game modes (Easy Mode, Boss Survival) and items (Infinite Bandana) introduced in the mobile phone version of the original Metal Gear were included in this version as well.

Revamped character designs - The character face shots shown during the game's radio mode (as well as the opening intro) were redrawn by Metal Gear Solid character designer Yoji Shinkawa. While the original designs in the MSX2 version resembled actual movie actors and people, the designs in the new version are brought more in line with Shinkawa's designs from the Metal Gear series.

Rewritten script - The script was changed to include more kanji characters than the MSX2 version.

Name changes - Like the mobile phone version of Metal Gear, some characters' names were changed:

Natasha Markova was changed to Gustava Heffner.
Yozef Norden was changed to Johan Jacobsen.
Petrovich Madnar was given the full name of Drago Pettrovich Madnar, establishing the name "Pettrovich" as the character's patronymic middle name.
Black Color was changed to Black Ninja.
Ultra Box was changed to the Four Horsemen.
Night Sight was changed to Night Fright.

Modified items - Some of the items were modified (graphically and functionality) to parallel their usage in the Metal Gear Solid games.

The graphical icons for each of the three ration types are now colored differently to tell them apart.
Equipping the cigarettes will now drain the player's life bar. Moreover, the graphical icon was changed to no longer resemble a package of Lucky Strikes.

Thermal goggles are now available to see through infrared sensors as an alternative to cigarettes.

In the MSX2 version, the player could only place six landmines per screen. In the mobile phone version, this was increased to sixteen.

The time it takes for Gustava's brooch to change shape was shortened slightly.

The time for an egg to hatch was shortened as well.
Modified play mechanics - Certain aspects of the gameplay were changed to make the game easier for the player.

The tap codes were changed.

A mark will appear on the player's feet when making a noise while walking on certain types of terrain.

If a hollow wall is punched, a question mark will appear over it.

Frequency numbers are now saved under a memory window after dialing them the first time.
Campbell's second frequency (which originally could only be learned by checking the rear side of the MSX2 version's packaging) is now given to the player instead.

MG2 Release History

2009-03-14T06:17:00.000-07:00

Unlike the first game, which had an English version produced for the European market, the MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2 was never officially released outside Japan (a fan translation was produced though). In Metal Gear Solid, plot summaries of the first two MSX2 games are accessible via the Special mode.

A version of Metal Gear 2 for mobile phones was released in Japan on October 1, 2004 for the i-mode, EZweb and Vodafone services prior to the release of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. This was the first time the game was ported to another platform since its original release for the MSX2 in 1990. In 2005, Konami released an expanded edition of Metal Gear Solid 3 subtitled Subsistence, which included, among other extras, the original MSX2 versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. The release of Subsistence in North America and the PAL region marked the first time Metal Gear 2 received official English and other languages localizations for the international market.

Both re-releases feature several subtle differences between them and the original MSX2 version. The biggest change was in the game's artistic presentation. The character portraits used in the re-releases features an art style similar to Yoji Shinkawa's character designs in the later Metal Gear Solid games (instead of the realistic style used in the MSX2 version). Numerous characters were renamed as well, notably Natasha Marcova became Gustava Heffner and Dr. Petrovich Madnar became Dr. Drago Pettrovich Madnar. Nearly all the bosses were renamed as well. The re-releases also feature two selectable difficulty settings ("Original" and "Easy"), a bonus Boss Survival mode and an infinite bandana that provides Snake with unlimited ammo when equipped.

The PlayStation 2 version of the game, much like the MSX2 original, requires the player to use the instruction manual for reference to solve certain puzzles (such as deciphering Tap Codes or learning a certain frequency number). Because the North American version only came with a condensed manual that did not include the information the game asks for, Konami posted the solutions to those puzzles in a FAQ page on their official website.

Arranged music based on Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake were used for the VR Training disc in Metal Gear Solid: Integral (which was released in North America as Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions). Additionally, Integral features two hidden tunes based on Metal Gear 2 available via a secret codec frequency in the main game. One is an arranged version of the "Theme of Solid Snake", while the other is an arrangement of "Zanzibar Breeze." "Theme of Solid Snake" made an appearance in Nintendo's crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Shadow Moses Island stage.

MG2 Production

2009-03-11T11:42:00.000-07:00

After the release of the NES version of Metal Gear in North America, Konami commissioned the development of a sequel for the NES, Snake's Revenge (a game made specifically with the American market in mind), without the consent of Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima.

According to Kojima's account of the events, he did not have any plans to design a Metal Gear sequel at the time and was unaware that a sequel was being produced until he became acquainted with a member of the Snake's Revenge development team on a train ride in Tokyo. Kojima was then informed about the development of Snake's Revenge and was told "it's not the authentic Snake, so please create a new Snake game of your own." After being given the go-ahead by his bosses at Konami, he began developing Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake with the MSX division of Konami. Metal Gear 2 serves as a follow-up to the original Metal Gear, ignoring the events of Snake's Revenge (which was unreleased in Japan), and every canonical Metal Gear title released afterward acknowledge only the events of Metal Gear 2, relegating Snake's Revenge to an apocryphal status.

MG2 Walktrough

2009-03-11T11:30:00.000-07:00

****************
*6. Walkthrough*
****************
KEY: Here is a little key that tells you what my symbols mean.
+++NAME OF PLACE+++: New location
---NAME OF EQUIPMENT---: New Equipment
===NAME OF WEAPON===: New Weapon
==-NAME OF AMMO-==: New Ammo
I will only put symbols around new equipment/locations/weapons/ammo. If I
mention it more than once it will only be in caps.

I. Sneaking into Zanzibar Land:
You(Solid Snake)start off climbing a cliff on Zanzibar Land. You then receive
a transceiver message from Roy Campbell briefing you on the details of your
mission. After your briefing is done, proceed up to the next screen. On this
screen you'll see a couple guards making their rounds in front of the fence.
Try to avoid being caught by the guards and precede right to the next screen.
Keep an eye on your radar in this area or else you might be caught off guard
by a wandering guard. Sneak into the truck and pick up a ---B1 RATION---.
Exit the truck and keep a close eye on your radar so you won't be caught off
guard. Now proceed up towards the fence. You'll get a call (F4) from Campbell
telling you to look for a hole in the fence and crawl through it. See that
hole on the far right side of the fence? Make sure no guards are coming your
way then duck down (Space Bar + N) and crawl through the hole in the fence.
Precede left along the fenced path. Hide behind the electrical generators
to avoid being caught by the guards. Follow the path until you hit the far
left wall. You should see a hole in a fence just to the right of the wall.
Crawl (Space Bar + N) through that hole and proceed along the path hiding
behind the generators to avoid guards again. When you come across the fenced
wall in the middle of the fence area, you should see a hole in the center
of that fence. Once again you will need to crawl (Space Bar + N) through the
hole and go up. You will now be in front of the +++ZANZIBAR BUILDING+++. You
will receive a call (F4) from Campbell telling you that it is impossible to
sneak in from the front of the building and that you will need to find an
alternate way in. Go right until you hit a wall. Once again use your radar
to stay out of the guards way. When you hit the wall you should see an open
truck. Go in the truck to find the ===HANDGUN===. The HANDGUN is NOT
suppressed yet, so keep that in mind if you decide to go trigger-happy on
all the guards. Crawl (Space Bar + N) into the vent to gain access to the
ZANZIBAR BUILDING.

II. Inside of Zanzibar Building:
Congratulations, you have made it through the opening part of the game! You
may have noticed before I kept telling you to avoid the guards, well that's
because if you get caught outside of ZANZIBAR BUILDING it's extremely hard
to ditch the guards because of the narrow area you're in. From now on I'll
just warn you of any dangerous situation you may be in. Well, on with the
walkthrough.

Once you're in the vents you have two choices. You can either 1) Turn left
when the path branches to pick up ==-HANDGUN AMMO-== or 2) You can continue
straight to get into the ZANZIBAR BUILDING. Since you shouldn't need the ammo
you should continuing going straight into the building. Once you are out of
the vents you will be on a narrow balcony over looking some tanks. Walk along
the balcony and you will receive a call (F4) from Holly White. She will tell
you that she has been in Zanzibar Land for a month as a journalist and she
will assist you on your mission. Her frequency is 140.15. Make a note of it
and head onward. Walk down from the balcony and go left above the tanks until
you reach a set of stairs going up to another balcony. Once on the balcony
you'll see a door to the left of the stairs. All that's in there are a couple
of guards and some computers. You can go in there if you want to, but your
destination is the elevator. Follow the path to the right and take the first
left you see on the path. You will now be in a room with two elevators. The
elevator on the left does not work on this floor, so take the elevator on
the right to the second floor. Once out of the elevator, go right to exit
the elevator area. You should see an open door right in front of you. Quickly
run inside the room before the guard sees you and grab the ---IDCARD 1---.
Equip (F3) yourself with the IDCARD 1 and exit the room. Proceed up to the
next screen and use your IDCARD 1(F3) to open the room and get the
---BINOCULARS---. Exit the room and go up to get the ---B2 RATION---. Notice
that the floor is a different texture in this area? This means that the guards
can hear your footsteps in this area. Watch your radar before you precede
left. Go around the perimeter of this floor until you find the HANDGUN AMMO.
Now go back to the elevator area and take the elevator on the right to the
third floor.

III. Rescuing Czech Biologist Dr. Kio Marv:
By now you should have a feel of the controls of the game and you should be
ready to take on your first boss of the game (If your not ready by now, you
better get ready real soon).

When you come off the elevator look on your radar. Do you see that red dot
on the bottom right corner of your radar? That's where you'll find Dr. Marv,
but there are a few things you must do before you go there. In the elevator
room you'll notice that the left elevator is blocked off and the door on the
left of you is locked. Your choices are to go up or down. If you go up it
will make your journey much easier, so head through the door using your IDCARD
1(F3). There are no guards in this room so just go through the door on the
right. When you come in this room you will notice a sensor in the center of
the room and a dust vent on the northern part of the room. Avoid the sensor
and head down to the next room. In this next room you'll notice a circular
type thing on the wall to the left of the entrance. These along with the four
boxes are invisible sensors. So pull out your --CIGARETTES--- (F3) and move
through the room avoiding the sensors. You can now re-equip you IDCARD 1(F3)
because the sensors will not be in your way here. Go through the door to the
right. Once again you will need to equip your CIGARETTES (F3) to avoid the
sensors in this room and grab the ---GAS MASK---. With the GAS MASK in hand
it's time to rescue Dr. Marv. Exit the room and head back to the elevator
area. Back in the elevator area you will need to head down using you IDCARD
1(F3). There's only one lone guard in this area and he's easy to avoid. Go
down to the next screen and use your IDCARD 1 to go through the top door on
the right wall. You will notice this area has a red tint to it. That red tent
is poisonous gas. Equip your GAS MASK (F3) and go through the area. That O2
tank at the bottom of the screen indicates how much oxygen you have left before
the gas starts taking away your health. When you reach the long white table
beware of the camera on the top wall. Use your IDCARD 1(F3) to quickly go
through the door on the left. You're about to enter a boss fight, so make
sure you have at least 30-40 bullets and one or two RATIONS (F3). If not,
go back to the second floor to stock up on them. In this room you will see
an old man who is wearing a scientist jacket. This man is Dr. Marv, or is
it? When you approach the man he will say he fooled you and reveal that he
is the first boss, Black Color.

*****BOSS FIGHT #1*****
Black Color

As soon as the fight starts, get out of the rectangle and above the rectangle.
Black Color can teleport anywhere in the room and he will throw three ninja
stars at you at a time. As long as you stay out of the rectangle, he will
always stay in the rectangle. The same applies vise versa. The best way to
kill him is to stay along the top of the outside of the rectangle and keep
firing several shots at him right after he teleports or when he is against
the left wall of the rectangle. When he flashes red this means he is about
to die. Be sure to have a RATION (F3) equipped the entire battle. If you have
two RATIONS it will make the battle much easier. When you kill him he will
drop ---IDCARD 2---.

IV. Follow the Leader:
Congratulations, you have just beaten the first boss of the game! You should
be proud of yourself after that hard boss fight (and even prouder if you didn't
waste your two rations before entering the boss fight like I did).

With the IDCARD 2 in hand you can access several areas you couldn't access
before. Let's do that before you continue your mission. You can exit through
the north door in the boss room, but it's impossible to make it through the
sensors without alerting the guards, so head back to the elevator area. From
the elevator area head back up north to the area with the sensor in the middle
of it. Instead of heading down from the sensor area, head right. On this screen
you will see 4 sensor boxes and a camera. On the same wall as the camera you
should see a door. Use your CIGARETTES (F3) to quickly go through the sensors
before you are caught by the camera. Equip IDCARD 2(F3) and go through the
door. Once in the room pick up the ---MINE DETECTOR---. Return to the elevator
area and go to the second floor. Start off by picking up the B2 RATION on
the floor where you found it last time you were there. Go around the perimeter
the same way you did last time, but just before you get to the HANDGUN AMMO,
use your IDCARD 2(F3) to enter the door on the left wall. Inside the room
you will find the ===SILENCER===. Go back to the elevator and head down to
the first floor. Exit the elevator area and get off the balcony where you
got on before. Go right and up around the perimeter of the balcony until you
get to a door on a small balcony with a guard on it. Sneak past the guard
to the next screen. Use IDCARD 2(F3) to go into the room. In this room will
be a guard with a green helmet. Wait until he exits the room at the top, and
then follow him into the +++JUNGLE+++.

V. In the Jungle, The Mighty Jungle:
You didn't have to do much in the previous section, but this section's a little
different.

Follow the guard in the JUNGLE and he will lead you to a +++CONFINEMENT CELL+++
at the north part of the JUNGLE. Make sure the guard doesn't catch you
following him or you'll have to do the whole thing over again. You can run
much faster than the guard, so don't worry about getting behind. It may take
you a couple tries, but you'll eventually get there. Take out the guard after
getting to the CONFINEMENT CELL and go inside. If you look on your radar inside
the guardhouse, you will notice a white dot on the other side of the right
wall. You should hear a strange tapping from the other side of that wall.
That tapping is a transceiver frequency 140.82. Dial that frequency on your
transceiver (F4) and you will be in contact with Dr. Pettrovich Madnar, the
creator of the first Metal Gear prototype. You will discover that Dr.
Pettrovich was also on Dr. Marv's plane when it was hijacked. You will learn
that Dr. Marv was transferred to the +++TOWER BUILDING+++ a few days ago.
Dr. Pettrovich will also reveal that the terrorists have a new Metal Gear
prototype here at Zanzibar Land. Snake will then figure out that it is Big
Boss who is behind the whole Zanzibar Land operation. The rest of the
conversations just talk about his daughter Ellen. At the end of the
conversation he will give you the transceiver frequency of Yozef
Norden(140.40), an animal expert.

Now that you have followed the guard through the JUNGLE you will be able to
go anywhere in the JUNGLE without following anyone. Exit the CONFINEMENT CELL
and head east through the JUNGLE. Look on your radar to find a big square
field, go there. As soon as you enter the field you will get a call from "one
of your fans" telling you that Snake is entering the +++NARIKO DESERT+++.
Equip (F3) your MINE DETECTOR and crawl across the NARIKO DESERT. While
crawling through the desert be sure to pick up some ===MINES===. After
clearing the minefield you will get a call from Holly telling you that you
are walking on sand and that it squeaks when you walk on it. Keep that in
mind as you proceed. Kill the two guards and go into the truck on the left
to pick up two HANDGUN AMMOS and the truck on the right to pick up a B1 RATION.
Go up to the next screen and kill the two guards here. On this screen you
will see two small vents. There is nothing in these two vents, but you will
find HANDGUN AMMO in the right vent on the screen northeast of your present
location. At this time you will need to look at your radar. DO NOT GO TO THE
SCREEN WITH THE WHITE RECTANGLE! It's your third boss fight and you don't
have the proper equipment to face off with it right now. Now that you have
everything you need from this area it's time to return to the JUNGLE and make
your way east through the +++SWAMP+++.

On your way to the SWAMP you will encounter a young child. He will tell you
that you will drown if you attempt to cross the SWAMP. Don't listen to him
and go to the entrance directly below the child. Start out on the top part
of the path. You will be able to walk through it standing. If you start to
sink, just go back to where you are standing up and go another direction.
You should be able to make it through the swamp with no problem. If you do
have a problem crossing the SWAMP, just use these simple directions (starting
from the land)and your brain to cross the swamp. Right, down, left, down,
left, up, left, down, left, down, right, down, right, up, right, down. The
boy on the small piece of land will tell you that trucks move in and out of
here many times. The directions from the small piece of land to the
+++ARSENAL+++ are: up, right, up, left, up. Use IDCARD 2 to enter.

VI. The Running Man and the Russian:
Aren't you glad your done with that mess? Now you can finally get back to
some real espionage action.

Once you're in the ARSENAL you will see a door to your right and a door at
the north part of the room. You don't have the IDCARD to enter the room to
your left, so equip (F3) IDCARD 1 and head through the north door. As you
enter this room, the familiar eerie music starts to play and the second boss,
Running Man, will confront you.

*****BOSS FIGHT #2*****
Running Man

This boss fight is much easier than the previous one. Running Man will start
off by displaying his "great" running abilities to you. The room will then
begin to fill up with nerve gas. When the battle starts, put on your GAS MASK
(F3) and equip(F2) your MINES. Lay the MINES in the passageways between the
rooms. If you run out of oxygen, just exit the area and come back in. When
Running Man runs into a MINE, the screen will flash. You will need about 10
mines to defeat Running Man. Sometimes he may dodge the mines, but he will
eventually run into them. When the battle is over, collect the ---IDCARD 3---.

Now that the boss fight is over, re-equip (F2) yourself with the HANDGUN and
exit the room. Use your new IDCARD 3(F3) on the door on the right to enter
a room with two children. The girl will tell you that she hates men with guns.
The boy will tell you that there use to be a lot of missiles here, but they
all got moved to the west side of the first floor of the ZANZIBAR BUILDING.
Exit the ARSENAL and go back across the SWAMP and through the JUNGLE and into
the ZANZIBAR BUILDING. When you enter ZANZIBAR BUILDING, go up the stairs
to the left of the entrance. Follow the balcony to the door on the south side
of the room and use IDCARD 3 to enter. In this area you will notice a tank
in the center, a camera to the left, and a vent to the right. You'll want
to go on the right side and use the vents to avoid the camera. On the bottom
right side of the area is some HANDGUN AMMO. Directly across the balcony from
it is a room which contains a ===STINGER===. After obtaining the STINGERS,
head back to the room before the JUNGLE with the three tanks. Once in this
room you'll need to exit on the southeast side of the room. Head right to
the long balcony and take out the guard. Use IDCARD 3(F3) to enter this room
and pick up the ---RED CARD---. With the RED CARD you can now open any door
that IDCARDS 1-3 could open without switching between them. The original
IDCARDS will no longer be in your inventory. With the RED CARD and the STINGERS
in hand, go back through the JUNGLE and return to the NARIKO DESERT. The NARIKO
DESERT is still covered with MINES, so equip (F3) your MINE DETECTOR and pick
up the MINES. After crawling through the minefield, pick up the HANDGUN AMMO
and the B1 RATIONS in the trucks again and continue on. When you get to the
area with the two vents, go to the northeast corner and pick up the HANDGUN
AMMO again. Equip (F2) yourself with the STINGERS and a RATION and head to
the left to encounter your third boss fight.

***BOSS FIGHT #3***
Hind D

Just one of the many appearances this Russian gun ship makes in the Metal
Gear series. Much like the previous boss fight, you can use a four-screen
square to do battle on. The Hind D will fly counter-clock wise around the
area. Making strafing runs on you. Use the vents in the southwest and
northeast parts of the area to hide from him. The Hind D can only hit you
when it's shadow is on the same screen as you. However, you can hit the Hind
D from anywhere in the battle area. When you use your STINGER a white target
will appear on the radar. Line the target up with the white dot of the Hind
D and fire away. The easiest way to beat it with out getting touched is to
enter the battle from the east part of the helipad. Quickly move back to the
east vents and hide under them when the battle starts. Study his patter and
the second it has moved over you come out and fire a STINGER at it. Four shots
will turn the Russian gun ship into a pile of scrap metal and bolts.

VII. Listen and Find:
Those two boss fights were relatively easy, don't you agree? Right now you're
a little over a quarter of the way through the game. You should be proud of
yourself for making it this far.

All that trouble and the Hind D didn't even leave you anything behind. At
least you can continue on to the next part of the game. Go north and you will
come up to the front of the 30-story TOWER BUILDING. The front of this place
is heavily guarded, so keep an eye on your radar and take out any guards that
get in your way before they see you. Head right and you will get a call (F4)
from Campbell. He will tell you to disguise yourself as luggage to sneak
yourself in. He suggests using the ---CARDBOARD BOX---. His transceiver
frequency has now switched to 140.66. Make a note of it and move on. The
CARDBOARD BOX can be found in the truck. Use (F3) the CARDBOARD BOX next to
the conveyer belt and you will be in the TOWER BUILDING. Proceed forward to
the next screen and Holly will contact (F4) you telling you that while she
was attempting to make contact with Dr. Marv she was discovered and captured!
She will tell you she is in the TOWER BUILDING. She tells you that there is
an elevator to the right, pumping noises to the left, and from front and behind
it sounds like water streaming. Make a note of that and move onward. Crawl
under the wall in front of you and you will pick up B2 RATIONS. Continue north
now. On the next screen you will see a door on the north wall and a passageway
to your left. You don't have the IDCARD that opens that door so head left.
This room is one big spiral. There are three elevators in this room. The one
in the center of the spiral leads to the fourth boss fight on floor 30, the
one halfway in the spiral leads to floor 20 and B1, and the one on the outside
of the spiral that leads to the tenth floor. Since you don't have the proper
equipment to get through the upper floors, take the middle elevator down to
B1. If you want you can go around to the center of the spiral to the small
vent and pick up the ---B3 RATIONS---. When you exit the elevator on B1, follow
the path the two doors. Use you RED CARD (F3) to open the doors. The room
on the right contains two boxes of HANDGUN AMMO while the room on the left
contains two ===PLASTIC BOMB C4===. Exit the room and continue to the left.
On the next screen you will see a child that will ask you if you are a friend
of that "blonde haired girl". After you talk to the child, head north. Go
through the door on this screen and you will find another child. This one
will tell you that her "one-eyed uncle"(Big Boss) said to tell a "man wearing
green"(Snake) that the "girl"(Holly) is not here. Exit the room and head
right. Go through the door on this screen and listen to the sounds you hear.
Don't they sound similar to what Holly said to listen for? Go to the center
of the right wall and punch it. It should sound much different than when you
punch the other walls. Equip (F2) your PLASTIC BOMB C4 and blow up that wall.
Go through the wall and you will find Holly. Holly will thank you for rescuing
her and tell you that it seems that Dr. Marv is safe. She will tell you that
he released a carrier pigeon that is carrying some kind of clue. She will
then tell you that she found the pigeon, but it escaped. She says that it
flew to the rooftop and the guards are searching for it too. She will suggest
that you find the pigeon. Her new transceiver frequency is 140.76. Be sure
to make a note of it. Before she leaves, she will give you ---IDCARD 4---.

VIII. The Green Pineapples:
Congratulations, you've just rescued the first of many people in the game.
Now it's time to move on to bigger and better things, like green pineapples;).

Snake has rescued the girl, now it's time to unlock some doors with your new
IDCARD 4. Exit the room, go to the elevator, and return to the first floor.
After getting off the elevator you will need to make your way to the outside
elevator and go to the tenth floor. Once you have reached the tenth floor,
talk to the child roaming the hall. He will tell you that they buried the
doors and if you hit the wall you can tell where they used to be. Head right
to the next screen. On this screen you'll notice the indents on the walls.
There are two indents on the north wall and two on the south wall. Punch
between the indents on the south wall and you will hear the same sound you
heard when you punched the wall to rescue Holly. Use the PLASTIC BOMB C4 (F2)
to blow open this wall and continue on to the next hallway. The child in this
will tell you he saw a lot of "green pineapples" in a room south of here.
In this hallway you will need to blow up the wall on the far left side. The
child in the next hallway will tell you the same thing as the child in the
previous hallway. Now proceed to the right side of the hall. You will need
to blow up the indent on the south wall to precede to the last hallway. The
child here will tell you that "one-eyed uncle" is a good father to them, but
he hates adults. Open the door to the right using you RED CARD and in that
room you will find HANDGUN AMMO, PLASTIC BOMB C4, and a B2 RATION. Exit the
room and continue down the hall to the right. Use the IDCARD 4(F3) to open
the door on the next screen. In this room you will find "green pineapples"
(===GRENADES===). With the GRENADES in hand it's time to fight the fourth
boss of the game. Head back to the elevator and return to the first floor.
Exit the elevator and run around to the inside of the spiral. Pick up the
B3 RATIONS near the inside elevator if needed. Enter the inside elevator and
head to floor 30. Before exiting the elevator, equip yourself with the
GRENADES (F2) and a RATION(F3). When you exit the elevator the fourth boss
of the game, Red Blaster, will greet you.

*****BOSS FIGHT #4*****
Red Blaster

During this boss fight you will be trapped in a small area by wires. Red
Blaster will stay on the north wall and chunk GRENADES at you. You can break
the wires and move around if you want, but it's pretty pointless if you ask
me. What I did during this fight was stood in one spot and threw GRENADES
at him. I used up all four of my RATIONS during this fight, so if you want
to conserve RATIONS I suggest finding another way to beat him. He has horrible
accuracy, so I would take the chance and do it my way. It will take about
20-25 GRENADES to defeat him. Red Blaster will flash black and white when
you hit him. When he starts to flash red, he will be dead within a couple
more hits. You get the wonderful prize of ---+++===NOTHING===+++--- after
defeating him.

If you used all of your RATIONS during this fight, I recommend going back
down to the first floor and pick up some more by the elevator. You can carry
up to three B3 RATIONS at this time. If you don't have a B2 RATION, be sure
to get one of those too. You can get one of those by going to the tenth floor
via the outside elevator, or you could get one by going under the wall by
the CARDBOARD BOX entrance to the TOWER BUILDING. If you head right from the
elevator on the floor 30, you will be greeted by a trap in the floor. Stay
against the north wall to avoid the trap and go through the door on the south
wall.

IX. The Carrier Pigeon:
Four bosses down, several more to go. Now its time to find that darn pigeon
that Holly was talking about.

Go up the flight of stairs to floor 31. Once up here, you will receive a call
(F4) from Holly telling you that the entrance to the roof was blocked off
to prevent the entrance of intruders, but it was a quick job so you should
be able to blow it up. Place you PLASTIC BOMB C4(F2) on the center of the
wall and blow it up. On the rooftop, the pigeon will be flying around. If
you run up and try to catch it, it will fly away and land on the next screen.
Use the transceiver to call (F4) Yozef Norden, the animal expert. He will
tell you that pigeons like to eat meatballs, peas, and potatoes (the same
foods that are in the B2 RATION). Equip (F3) your B2 RATION and the pigeon
will no longer run away from you. When you catch the pigeon, there will be
a message attached to his leg. The message will read, "HELP! WIS.OhIO KIO
MARV..." Decoded, that message is Dr. Marv's transceiver number. Call (F4)
140.51 to talk to Dr. Kio Marv. Dr. Marv will talk to you in Czech and Slovak.
Snake says he better call (F4) Dr. Pettrovich(140.82) to find out what he's
saying. Dr. Pettrovich says he doesn't know either language, but he says
Natasha Markova, the STB that escorted with Dr. Marv and Dr. Pettrovich, does.
He said she was captured too, but managed to escape by stealing an enemy
uniform. He says he should be in "this" complex. He suggests that you check
near the women's restroom. Don't start searching for a women's restroom in
this building. Dr. Pettrovich said "this" building and if you remember
correctly, Dr. Pettrovich is locked up near the ZANZIBAR BUILDING. So get
off the roof, out of the TOWER BUILDING and back to the ZANZIBAR BUILDING.
You can exit the TOWER BUILDING via the door on the south wall of the spiral
room using your IDCARD 4 (F3). Remember to use your MINE DETECTOR (F3) at
the minefield.

X. Meeting Natasha Markova:
After backtracking from the TOWER BUILDING all the way back to the ZANZIBAR
BUILDING, it's time to backtrack even more through the ZANZIBAR BUILDING.

It's been a long time since you've last entered the ZANZIBAR BUILDING, but
not much has changed. You now have the IDCARD 4, so you can open several places
that you didn't have access to before. Make your way to the elevator and head
to the third floor. When you get off on the third floor, use (F3) IDCARD 4
to open the door on the left wall in the elevator room. In this room, you'll
need to use (F3) your IDCARD 4 again to go in through the door on the far
right side of the north wall. Use (F3) the RED CARD to proceed in the next
room. Watch out for the trap in the center of this room near the door and
precede right into the next room. Another small room, just head down. In this
room, pick up the ===MOUSE=== and exit back into the yellow colored room.
Use IDCARD 4 to open the door in the center of the room. In this room, pick
up the B3 RATION. Exit this room and use (F3) the RED CARD to enter the door
on the left side of the screen. Go through this room and in the next room
pick up another MOUSE. Go back to the yellow colored room and go left. If
you use (F3) IDCARD 4 and enter the room in the center, a girl will tell you
that she really hates men with guns. From the yellow colored room, go down
to the next screen. On this screen you will see a sensor and a open door.
If you want, you can run pass the sensor and into the open door to get the
MINES, but chances are the sensor will get you when you come out, so run pass
the sensor to the right. This screen will look similar to the previous screen,
but you can move in and out of the room much easier here. Use (F3) the RED
CARD to enter the room and grab the ===REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES===. Now head
back to the elevator room. From here, use (F3) the RED CARD and go south.
In this room go down to the next screen and use (F3) the RED CARD to enter
the door on the southeast corner of the room. As soon as you enter this, equip
(F3) yourself with the GAS MASK. Follow the path and watch out for the camera
near the table. Use (F3) IDCARD 4 to enter the next room. This room will be
totally dark with only a visible light switch. Go right until you hit a wall
then go up to the light switch. Punch the light switch to turn it on and use
(F3) IDCARD 4 to enter the next room. I this room there will be three guards
guarding the path to the next room. Three shots will easily take them out.
Use the RED CARD to enter the next room. Take out the guard in here and pick
up the ---NIGHT VIEWER---. Watch out for the two traps directly in front of
the NIGHT VIEWER. After you have picked up the NIGHT VIEWER, head back to
the elevator area and take the elevator to the fourth floor.

When you get off the elevator on the fourth floor, use IDCARD 4 to enter the
door on the right. In this room you will find a sensor. Run north, past the
sensor and into the next screen. On this screen you will be at an intersection,
turn left. On the next screen head down and use the RED CARD to enter the
room. The child in here will tell you that all the guards stand straight when
they hear the national anthem. Exit the room and go back to the intersection.
At the intersection, go east. At the intersection, go up. This screen will
contain a camera. Sneak past it and right. Follow the path until you reach
the second door. Use the RED CARD to enter. The child in the room will tell
you if you catch a cold, go to the medical room and find some ---PILLS---.
Use IDCARD 4 to go down to the next room. In this room you will see a girl
walking in the dark. Use (F3) your NIGHT VIEWER and you will discover that
there is a wall between you and the girl. Craw under the hole to reach the
other side. Crawl on the left side of the hole or you will fall in a trap
when you come out. There is also a trap near the door, so stay along the wall
as you proceed. Talk to the girl and she will tell you that there are a lot
of dummy guards over there. Use (F3) the RED CARD to proceed through the door.
No need to worry about all the guards, they really are dummies. Use (F3) the
RED CARD again to go through the door on the right. In this room you will
notice more dummy guards, but one of the guards seems out of place, don't
you think? Kill this guard and proceed up to the next room. The next room
will also have some dummy guards along with three real ones. Look on your
radar to discover the identity of the three real ones and take them out. Use
(F3) IDCARD 4 and exit stage right. In this area DO NOT KILL ANY
GUARDS!!!!!!!!! One of them is Natasha Markova is disguise. Head right to
the next screen and use (F3) the RED CARD to open the door on the right wall.
In here you will find two B3 RATIONS. Now go back to the dining room. From
here go down a screen and right one screen. Enter the men's restroom. Collect
the ---BUCKET--- and exit the room. Hide behind the plant by the women's
restroom and wait for a guard to enter the women's restroom. Follow her in
the restroom. You will then meet Natasha Markova. Snake will tell her that
he has seen her somewhere before. She will accuse Snake of trying to seduce
her. Snake will then say he saw her win a gold medal in figure skating at
the Olympics. Natasha will then use Snake's transceiver to call Dr. Marv.
The will then talk in Czech or Slovak and Natasha will tell Snake that Dr.
Marv is being held at the +++DETENTION CENTER+++ north of the TOWER BUILDING.
Natasha will then show Snake an elevator that leads to the third basement.
On floor B3 there is a path that will lead you to Dr. Pettrovich and the north
side of the TOWER BUILDING. Natasha will now follow you.

XI. The Bridge of Sorrow:
This next section is purely story. Not much gameplay in it. You won't see
but two guards in this whole section. If you don't want a major part of the
story revealed to you, I suggest moving on to the next section.

After exiting the elevator you will be on floor B3. When you get in the sewers,
you will notice big, yellow machines moving around. These machines are called
sweepers. If one of them touches you, you'll die instantly. Stay against the
wall and watch your radar to avoid them. Continue north through the sewer
until you reach a screen that has water in front of you, go left here. On
the next screen go up until you reach a wall at an intersection. Turn left
at the intersection and ride the elevator to the first floor. When you get
off the elevator, you will be in the CONFINEMENT CELL with Dr. Pettrovich.
Dr. Pettrovich will be happy he is rescued and Snake will notice that Dr.
Pettrovich has lost weight. Pettrovich said he tried to escape through the
elevator, but it only opens from the inside. Dr. Pettrovich will then give
you the ---IDCARD 5--- that he stole from a guard. Dr. Pettrovich will then
join you party and you will exit in single file back down to B3 via elevator.
Exit the elevator and go right. Keep going right at the intersection and you
will reach a door. Use (F3) you new IDCARD 5 to open the door and proceed
north through the sewers. About halfway up the path, Dr. Pettrovich will stop
and ask to rest for a while. He will say he must do his "natural desire" and
exit the screen south. Natasha and Snake will then start talking. Natasha
will say "...strange..." and Snake will say that Dr. Pettrovich is old, but
he doesn't look it. Natasha will tell Snake that she wasn't talking about
that, but she was saying it's strange how a special agent, an Olympic Gold
Medallist, and a world famous scientist and end up together in this sewer.
Snake thinks it may be fate. She then talks about her mother running through
the sewers in Poland from Nazis during World War II. She said her mother was
so soaked with mud that you couldn't recognize her face. Snake asks Natasha
why she quit skating and joined the STB. She says, "The ice became cold".
Natasha asks Snake if he has a wife, Snake says he has no family. Snake asks
Natasha the same question and she says she's single. She said she once
considered marrying a man when she was still skating. She said he was a western
named Frank Hunter (thanks to J. Soler for pointing out this error in
translation in the game). She considered giving up skating to follow him.
She says she was stripped of competition and her and her family have had a
hard life ever since. She said that she then joined the STB, but has no
regrets. She said she learned many things about this world and even killed
people. Snake asks about her and Frank Jaeger and she says she never say him
again. Dr. Pettrovich then rejoins your party. Continue north to the elevator
and take it to the first floor.

Exit the elevator and equip (F3) your MINE DETECTOR, then continue west. When
you get to a screen with a single truck, stop and look for the MINES on your
radar. Since you can't crawl and pickup the MINES with Natasha and Pettrovich
in your party, you will need to use your radar and go around them. Continue
up to the next screen. The group will then come up to a bridge. Natasha
suggests that they go across one at a time. Dr. Pettrovich says he will go
first since he's getting old in years. Dr. Pettrovich will make it across
the bridge safely and then Natasha will go across the bridge. Natasha will
make it halfway across the bridge and tell Snake to come on. When Snake
attempts to cross the bridge, a shot if fired at Natasha from out of nowhere.
The bridge breaks in half and Natasha and Snake are thrown off the bridge.
Natasha and Snake start talking. Natasha says she has seen many deaths before.
Snake tells her to hold on. Natasha says it's a pity since she just met a
nice guy. Snake tells her he wants to see her skate again. Natasha thanks
Snake and give him ---IDCARD 6---. She says it will open the door to the north
side of the TOWER BUILDING. She also give Snake her ---BROOCH--- and tells
him to use it too. Snake respond by saying "to?". Natasha's last words are
"...Frank...". Dr. Pettrovich will then yell out to Snake. Two guards will
then capture Dr. Pettrovich. The top half of the screen will turn black and
when it comes back up, Metal Gear will be standing on the other side of the
bridge being piloted by Grey Fox. Grey Fox tells Snake that he won't let him
cross this bridge and that he's taking Dr. Pettrovich with him. Grey Fox says
since they were friends once, he'll let him go this time. He suggests to Snake
that he leaves the country. Snake then says, "FOX! I'LL NEVER GIVE UP!"

XII. The Zanzibar National Anthem:
Wasn't that a wonderful plot twist? The story to this game was much better
then I expected when I first started playing it. This next section is the
LONGEST section in thins FAQ/Walkthrough, but it's all backtracking through
the ZANZIBAR BUILDING.

Walk back from the bridge to the screen with the truck and the MINES. You
will then receive a call (F4) from Holly. She will ask you if you've seen
the balcony of floor 20 in the TOWER BUILDING. She tells Snake that he can
fly over the bridge from there using a ---HANG-GLIDER---. She said she saw
one in the east part of the ZANZIBAR BUILDING on the first floor. Use (F3)
your MINE DETECTOR and crawl to pick up the MINES. You can also pick up the
MINES in the truck. When you pick up all the mines, head to the screen to
your right. On this screen you will notice that the door to the four trucks
will now be open. You will also notice that there is a MINE in front of every
truck. Use (F3) your MINE DETECTOR and pick up the MINES and enter the truck.
The truck on the far left contains REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES and ===GAS
GRENADES===. The second truck on the left contains three boxes of HANDGUN
AMMO. The second truck on the right will contain two GRENADES and the truck
on the far right will contain a B1 RATION and a PLASTIC BOMB C4. Exit the
truck area and go back to the lone truck on the left screen. Use (F3) ID CARD
6 to enter that door. You will notice that you are in the TOWER BUILDING on
the first floor. Your destination is the ZANZIBAR BUILDING, so backtrack the
same path you did when you went back there the first time. Remember to pick
up all ammo and equipment on the way. Use (F3) your MINE DETECTOR in the
minefield.

You have IDCARDS 5 and 6 now, so you have a few new places to go. Exit this
room using the RED CARD (F3) via the door in the southeast corner of the room.
Go right and kill the guard on the balcony. Use (F3) the RED CARD to open
the door. Use the IDCARD 6 to go into the room on the left. In here, pick
up the BLUE CARD. The BLUE CARD has the same function as the RED CARD, except
it works with IDCARDS 4-6. Exit this room and head for the elevator. Take
the elevator to the fourth floor. After exiting the elevator on the fourth
floor, you'll need to go back to the intersection. At the intersection, turn
right. Use the BLUE CARD to enter the door on the south part of the screen.
In here you will find dummy soldiers and two children. The boy will tell you
about the PILLS in the medical room and the girl will tell you that a women
has a brooch that changes shape. Could this be NATASHA'S BROOCH? Exit the
room and use(F3) the BLUE CARD to open the door on the north part of the screen.
In this room you will find two rows of lockers with four lockers on each row.
You can enter the two lockers on the end of the rows on the left side and
the locker on the far right side of the top row. The locker on the left side
of the bottom room contains a child playing hide-and-seek. The locker on the
left side of the top row contains nothing. The locker on the right side of
the top row is locked right now, but you will have access to it soon. Exit
the locker room and go right. Duck down on this screen and crawl to the next.
On this screen is a camera with several sleeping guards. You will need to
crawl to avoid waking the guards in this room. Hide under the bed to avoid
the camera. Crawl to the next screen. Crawl to the door and use (F3) the RED
CARD to open the door. In this room, you will need to use your NIGHT VIEWER
to see in the dark. Turning on the lights will wake the guards. Go up and
use the BLUE CARD to enter the medical room. Get the PILLS and head back to
the dark room. Use the RED CARD in the south part of the room to enter the
sauna. Shortly after entering the sauna, a naked guard will enter covering
his private parts. Kill the guard and check your equipment. You will notice
that NATASHA'S BROOCH has changed shape. Exit this room and head back to the
locker room. With NATASHA'S BROOCH, you now have access to the locker on the
top right side. Equip (F3) the BROOCH and enter the locker. In the locker
you will find a ---CASSETTE---. That CASSETTE contains the Zanzibar National
Anthem. Exit the locker room and head back to the elevator and to the second
floor.

Once on the second floor, you will need to take the elevator on the left to
B1. Exit the elevator and take the north path to the next screen. On this
screen you will see an open room to the left and a closed room above you.
There is nothing in the opened room, so kill the guard and go to the room
above you. Use (F3) the RED CARD to open this door. In this room you will
find three boxes of HANDGUN AMMO. Take them and head back to the elevator
room. Once in here, use (F3) the RED CARD to open the door on the south wall.
When you enter this area, you will see several rooms. Watch out for the trap
above the room on the left. Enter the room on the left with the RED CARD (F3)
to get two PLASTIC BOMB C4s. Use (F3) the BLUE CARD to enter the room on the
right to pick up three boxes of HANDGUN AMMO. Use (F3) the BLUE CARD to enter
the door on the left. In this next area there will be several cameras. Go
south and break through the wire. When the camera on the left is at the top
of the screen run past it and grab the HANDGUN AMMO. Then use (F3) the BLUE
CARD to enter the room and grab the two GRENADES. Exit the room and the camera
will alert the guards. Don't be alarmed. Watch out for the trap between the
left and center paths and quickly take the center path up to the next screen.
Once on this screen, break through the wire on the right and run quickly into
the room using (F3) the BLUE CARD. In this room you will find a MOUSE and
the ---O2 TANK---. Exit this room and pick up the HANDGUN AMMO. Take the left
path up to the next screen. Use the BLUE CARD to open this door and inside
you will find two GAS GRENADES. Take the GAS GRANADES and exit this room.
On this screen you will need to break the wire at the top of the screen and
take the right path down to the next screen. On this screen, break the wire
to the right and head up the path, BUT DO NOT ENTER THE NEXT SCREEN! Look
at your radar and wait until the camera is at the top of the screen and go
up. In here you will need to break the three wires. If the camera starts to
come back down, exit the screen and go back to break the rest of the wires
when the camera is at the top of the screen. The camera will come down a screen;
so hide on the other side of the wall until it passes. After all three wires
are broken, use (F3) the BLUE CARD to enter the room. Inside this room you
will fins the ===CAMOFLAGUE MAT===. Exit this room and head back to the room
just south of the elevator area. From this screen, head right. On this screen
use (F3) the BLUE CARD to enter the bottom room and pick up the ===SUB MACHINE
GUN===(from now on all ammo will be called "==-SMG AMMO-==" since the ammo
packs will refill both guns). Exit this room and use (F3) the BLUE CARD again
to enter the top room and grab the two GRENADES. Exit this room and head north.
On this screen, use (F3) the BLUE CARD to enter the room on the bottom of
the screen and pick up the REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES. Use (F3) the BLUE CARD
to enter the room and pick up the STINGER and two boxes of SMG AMMO. Exit
this room and head north. Use (F3) the BLUE CARD to enter this room. In here
you will find the ---BODY ARMOR---. This will cut the damage you take by
bullets in half. Equip it whenever you feel the need. Exit this room and head
back to the elevator. Take the elevator to the first floor.

Once on the first floor, head back to the screen with the vent that you entered
at the beginning of the game and go right. On this screen you will see a door.
Use (F3) the BLUE CARD to open the door. Equip (F3) the CASSETTE and quickly
enter the room. Run down the hall as fast as you can and all the guards will
salute the anthem. When at the end of the hall, use the BLUE CARD to enter
the room and grab the HANG-GLIDER. Play the CASSETTE and go back down the
hall. Exit the ZANZIBAR BUILDING and head back to the TOWER BUILDING.

XIII. Grey Fox and His Goons:
I bet your getting tired of all the backtracking to the ZANZIBAR BUILDING,
right? Well don't worry, that was your last major trip to the ZANZIBAR
BUILDING.

In the TOWER BUILDING, go to the elevator halfway to the center of the spiral
and take it up to floor 20. BEFORE YOU GET ON THE ELEVATOR equip Snake with
the SUB MACHINE GUN (F2) and either (F3) RATIONS or the BODY ARMOR. When you
reach floor 19, you will hear the danger music start to play and you will
receive a call (F4) from Grey Fox. He will tell Snake that he shouldn't have
ignored his suggestion and that his friendship with Snake ends here. He then
tells Snake that this elevator will be his coffin. Fox will tell Snake that
he sent a hit squad that specializes in close-quarter combat to take out
Snake. Fox bids farewell to Snake and ends the transmission. You will then
fight the fifth boss of the game, the Ultra Box.

*****BOSS FIGHT #5*****
Ultra Box

This four-man assassin group will start off by attacking you on all sides.
Take them out one at a time. Try to stand in one spot that prevents at least
two of them from jumping down and attacking you. Stand away from you target
and fire your HANDGUN or your SUB MACHINE GUN at it. When you hit one of them,
he will flash black and white. When you're close to defeating one of them,
he will flash red. It will probably take all of your SMG AMMO and some for
your HANDGUN AMMO to kill them. You should also have about 4-5 RATIONS with
you. After the fight you will get IDCARD 7.

When your fight with the Ultra Box is over, the elevator will plunge back
down to the first floor. Looks like your going to have to find another way
up to floor 20. Exit the elevator and go to the outside elevator. Take it
up to the tenth floor. When you reach the tenth floor, punch the wall to your
left. You will notice that this wall makes the hollow wall sound. Use the
PLASTIC BOMB C4 and destroy the wall. Proceed into the next screen. On this
screen you will see two sensors. The best way to get past these is to wait
after the first sensor vanish and quickly run to the far left wall. Then wait
for the second sensor to vanish and run to the door. Use (F3) IDCARD 7 to
open the door. From here you have a death run to make up to ten flights of
stairs to floor 20. On your way you must fight off several obstacles including
two trip wires, three boxes of SMG AMMO, and several traps from floor 17 and
up. When you get to the top, use IDCARD 7 to open the door. Now that you finally
have some peace and quiet, you might want to take a short break and come back
to this a little later. If not, head to the screen to the right. Break the
trip wire hear, but watch out for the guard that often comes from the right
side of the screen. After breaking the wire, head right. On this screen, head
north to the balcony. Once on the balcony, you will receive another call (F4)
from "one of your fans". He will tell you that you can only jump from the
balcony when the wind is blowing north. He says the wind is normally blowing
south. He says you may have an item for finding out the wind direction. "Your
fan" will wish you well and end the transmission. On the left side of the
balcony are some B2 RATIONS. Walk up to the edge of the balcony and equip
your GAS GRENADES (F2) and your GAS MASK (F3). Use a GAS GRENADE to tell which
direction the wind is blowing. When the wind is blowing north, smoke some
CIGARETTES and use (F3) your HANG-GLIDER to jump off the balcony. After
watching Snake jump off the balcony, head left. Head left one more screen
and use IDCARD 7 to open the door on the north wall on the far left screen.
BEFORE you enter the area, equip yourself with GRENADES and the BODY ARMOR.
Go through the door and the sixth boss, Predator, who will approach you.

*****BOSS FIGHT #6*****
Predator

This boss is fairly easy. All he does is fire several shots at you with his
gun. When he goes into the grass, his is invisible to you and the radar. Hide
behind the crates near the entrance of the field and just keep going back
and forth throwing GRENADES at him every chance you get. He can shoot straight
through the crates, but he might get a shot on you diagonally. It will probably
take around 20 GRENADES to kill him. It's possible to get through this fight
without being touched, but just in case you better have a RATION or two on
hand. When you defeat the Predator, you will get the IDCARD 8.

XIV. Rescuing Czech Biologist Dr. Kio Marv, Part 2:
After those two boss fights, it's FINALLY time to rescue the real Dr. Kio
Marv. Keep going, you're almost at the end of the game!

With IDCARD 8 in hand, exit the field through the door in the northwest corner.
Kill the guard here and use (F3) IDCARD 8 to enter the +++ZANZIBAR BIO LAB+++.
When you first enter the ZANZIBAR BIO LAB, you will see a camera on the east
and west walls and four tables in the middle of the room. Use the tables to
avoid the cameras, and use (F3) IDCARD 8 to enter the next door. If you have
trouble avoiding the cameras, use this simple method to get quickly in and
out of the ZANZIBAR BIO LAB. When you enter the ZANZIBAR BIO LAB, have IDCARD
8 ready for quick use. Run straight through the room and use IDCARD 8 to open
the door. Equip (F3) your GAS MASK and run to the door on the left. Equip
(F3) the BLUE CARD and enter the left door. Re-equip (F3) your GAS MASK and
pick up the ---EGG---. Exit the ZANZIBAR BIO LAB the same path you came in.
Try to keep your GAS MASK on at all times except when opening doors. Repeat
the same process, but use IDCARD 7 to enter the door on the right and grab
the EGG. When finished in the ZANZIBAR BIO LAB, head back through the field
and back to the HANG-GLIDER landing area and head east from here.

On this screen take out the two guards and enter the truck on the left. In
here you will find four boxes of SMG AMMO. Then enter the truck on the right
and you will find a GRENADE, a GAS GRENADE, and a B1 RATION. Exit the truck
and head east again. On this screen you will see a sensor and a conveyer belt.
Move past and sensor and head to the screen to the right. On this screen you
will see another sensor and a truck. DO NOT GO IN THE TRUCK. If you do, three
guards will greet you. Of course, if you want to take the risk, you will
receive a B3 RATION for your troubles. Run past the sensor and through the
gates to the north. In this area, you'll see three laser gates. Go left and
use IDCARD 8 to enter the door. In this room, you will find some children.
They will tell you that in the evening, they go play behind the laser wall.
Exit the room and return near the laser wall. Check your inventory here and
you should notice that both eggs have hatched and you now have a ---SNAKE---
and an ---OWL--- in your inventory. When the SNAKE reaches the OWL, click
on the broken egg and the SNAKE will be gone. By now the SNAKE has probably
eaten all of your RATIONS though. Here you need to equip the OWL that should
have hatched from one of the eggs. Wait until the guard says it evening. He
will then turn off the laser barrier. You will now have access to the DETENTION
CENTER. Once in the DETENTION CENTER, go up the stairs to the right and kill
the guard. Now head right. Use (F3) the RED CARD to enter the building. In
here you will find a box of SMG AMMO, a GRENADE, and a PLASTIC BOMB C4. Exit
the room and head to the building directly above you. Use (F3) the BLUE CARD
to enter it. In here a child will tell you that the B1 RATION contains
chocolate. Keep that in mind and return to the laser gates. Go to the northeast
corner of the area and grab the B1 RATIONS. Head back to the laser gates and
go up the stairs to the left. Use (F3) the RED CARD to open the door. In here,
the child will talk about rats in the DETENTION CENTER. Exit this room and
head left up the path to the next detention center. Use (F3) IDCARD 8 to enter.
In here you will find a sweeper on the right path so head left. Go north on
this path and use the BLUE CARD to enter the room. Go up and grab the B1 RATION.
Go back through the door. Now you need to follow the sweeper up the path.
Hide in the passageway to the right to avoid him coming back down and smashing
you. Use (F3) the RED CARD to enter the door on the north wall. Follow the
path to the final building and use (F3) IDCARD 8 to enter it. Kill the two
guards in this building and hop on the elevator to floor B1.

In the elevator, equip yourself with the SUB MACHINE GUN and BODY ARMOR. Upon
exiting the elevator you will receive a call (F4) from "one of your fans".
He will ask you if you've ever heard of the guerrilla group, "The Whispers".
He says Night Sight, one of the survivors of that squad, is in the room with
you. He will tell you that Night Sight wears the latest in camouflage
technology. He will also tell you that Night Sight is wearing stealth material
that makes him invisible to radar. He will tell you that he also attacks with
a gun that makes little, or no noise. After the transmission is over, you
will be fighting the seventh boss of the game, Night Sight.

*****BOSS FIGHT #7*****
Night Sight

As "one of your fans" said, Night Sight is invisible to you and the radar
so the only way to see him is when he fires at you. When you see gunshots
from thin air, shoot that location and don't stop. Night Sight will appear
on the screen when you shoot him. If needed, use a RATION, but he's so easy
you probably won't have to. After using almost your entire SMG AMMO on him,
Night Sight will finally die, leaving behind ---+++===NOTHING===+++---. What
a wonderful prize for defeating him.

After defeating Night Sight, head to the right. Use IDCARD 8 to open the door.
In here you'll see three puddles of acid. Equip (F3) three B1 RATIONS and
move through the puddles. You will then discover that you don't have the
proper IDCARD to enter the door. Now you'll need to head back to the field
where you defeated Predator and search in the northeast corner of the room
behind the crates to find IDCARD 9. With IDCARD 9 in hand, head back to the
three puddles and use IDCARD 9 to enter the room. In here you'll find Dr.
Pettrovich standing next to a bed with Dr. Kio Marv in it. Dr. Pettrovich
will inform you that you're too late, his heart didn't make it. Snake goes
over to the bed and investigates and he notices strange stains on Dr. Marv's
neck. Pettrovich will tell you that Dr. Marv was a games maniac. He said Dr.
Marv concealed a microfilm in a small MSX cartridge from a Japanese game
company called Konami. Snake recognizes it as "the legendary worldwide
computer". He says that it is rumored that some freaks still use it today!
Dr. Pettrovich will tell you that he kept the cartridge in the locker over
there. Dr. Pettrovich will tell you that he didn't find out where the key
to the locker was. Make your way over to the locker and investigate. On your
way over there, you will receive a call(F4) from Holly. She will alert you
of an emergency. She said she did some digging on Dr. Pettrovich and found
out that after he was rescued from Outer Heaven, he was not too happy. She
says that in the west, his extreme dogma theories were not accepted and the
academic world saw him as a "scholar of madness". She said he was isolated,
and as time passed, he became forgotten. Holly will tell you that one day,
he received a invitation from a Zanzibar Land double agent. Taking advantage
of his position, he made a deal. Se said he flowed the latest technologies
to Zanzibar Land. Snake concludes that he is also involved in the kidnapping
of Dr. Marv. Holly says that he knew the details of Dr. Marv's trip to the
United States. Snake says it must be the OILIX he's after. The transmission
ends, and Dr. Pettrovich confirms the story. He says "your people" criticized
everything he did. He wanted to use his Robotology knowledge to complete Metal
Gear! He says "your" politicians weren't interested, but Zanzibar was. He
said he upgraded Metal Gear with their help. He says he killed Dr. Marv because
he wouldn't give him the OILIX plans. He also tell you that Natasha died on
the bridge because when he went to do his "natural desire", he was really
informing Grey Fox that they would soon be at the bridge. Dr. Pettrovich tells
Snake to give him NATASHA'S BROOCH because it is the locker key to Dr. Marv's
locker. Dr. Pettrovich then jumps on Snake's back and starts molesting him.
This is when the eighth boss fight begins.

*****BOSS FIGHT #8*****
Dr. Pettrovich Mandar

Dr. Pettrovich will start off having the upper hand by jumping on your back
and trying to molest you. Equip yourself with the REMOTE CONTROLLED MISSLES
(F2) and some RATIONS(F2) and fire away. Just keep firing the
REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES at Dr. Pettrovich and he will eventually die. If
you run out of REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES, just use MINES and run over them.
It will take about half of your REMOTE- CONTROLLED MISSLES to kill him if
you don't miss. Remember, the MINES will also hurt you! You will probably
only need one RATION to survive this fight. Dr. Pettrovich will flash black
and white when he is hit and red when he is about to die. When he is dead,
much like Night Sight, he will leave you ---+++===NOTHING===+++---!

XV. A Way to Destroy Metal Gear...:
After the fight with that traitor, you'll have to do some minor backtracking
to your favorite place, the ZANZIBAR BUILDING (note great deal of sarcasm
in that statement). This will be the last section intro I do. The last two
sections can speak for themselves.

After the fight with Dr. Pettrovich, you will need to change the shape of
NATASHA'S BROOCH to unlock the locker. The last time you changed it, you were
in a place with heat. Now you must cool it in a cold place. To do this, you
must backtrack all the way back to the ZANZIBAR BUILDING. Don't worry; it's
only a small backtracking mission this time. Exit the DETENTION CENTER and
head to the area just before the field where you fought the Predator. Use
(F3) the CARDBOARD BOX near the conveyer belt. You will then be in a truck
being escorted back to the TOWER BUILDING. When you enter the TOWER BUILDING,
you will be in the same location you were the very first time you entered
it. Make your way through the spiral and back to the ZANZIBAR BUILDING. I
should have to tell you by now, but just in case you forgot, use (F3) the
MINE DETECTOR in the minefield. When you enter the ZANZIBAR BUILDING, exit
the room via the southeast door using (F3) the RED CARD. From here head right
one screen. Kill the guard on the balcony and use (F3) the RED CARD to open
the door. Now use (F3) IDCARD 9 to open the door on the right and pick up
the GREEN CARD. The GREEN CARD works the same way as the RED CARD and the
BLUE CARD, but uses IDCARDS 7-8 instead. Exit the room and head for the
elevators. Take the elevator to the fourth floor. Remember the path to the
dining room from the last time. Take that path again and go to the dining
room. Once in the dining room, proceed east to the next screen and use (F3)
the RED CARD enter the room on the far right wall. Pick up the B3 and B2 RATIONS
in this room. Stay in this room for a second and check (F3) your equipment.
You should notice that NATASHA'S BROOCH has now changed shape. Exit the room
and head back to the TOWER BUILDING. From here, you will need to go to the
screen directly above the CARDBOARD BOX entrance to the TOWER BUILDING. Use
(F3) the GREEN CARD to enter the room on the north wall. Use (F3) the CARDBOARD
BOX near the conveyer belt to transport yourself back near the DETENTION
CENTER. From here, go back to Dr. Marv's locker and use NATASHA'S BROOCH to
open the locker. Inside it, you'll find NOTHING! Well, you'll find a hole
in the wall that will lead you to a bunch of rats that will kill you if you
touch them. Go through the hole and then back to the locker and equip a B3
RATION to lure them out one by one and kill them. When they are all dead,
craw through the hole. In the hole you will find the ---CARTRIDGE---. Exit
the locker and Pettrovich will say, "S-Snake...He will never let you go."
He will tell you that "he" will use that Metal Gear deliberately. He'll then
say his daughters name and say "...a way to destroy it..." Snake will look
puzzled and say "A way to destroy Metal Gear? Pettrovich says in his mind,
he couldn't cross between east or west, but his daughter, who he left in the
east, is different. Snake will tell him to start making sense and ask him
how to destroy Metal Gear. He will tell you that the legs are lightly armored,
destroy them with GRENADES. He'll then tell you that is the only way to destroy
Metal Gear. You will then fall into a hole that leads you to the third floor
basement of the DETENTION CENTER.

XVI. Grey Fox and Metal Gear:
After you fall down the hole, you will be in a room with a door on each side.
You will then hear Grey Fox's voice and he will tell you there is no way to
destroy this Metal Gear. Snake will ask Fox where he is. Fox will tell Snake
that you'll see him soon and to come through that door. Don't go just yet.
Use (F3) the RED CARD on the right door to find three GRENADES. Use (F3) it
on the south door to find a B2 RATION and two boxes of SMG AMMO. Look under
the vent to find another B2 RATION. When your ready, equip your GRENADES (F2)
and RATIONS (F3) and use (F3) the BLUE CARD to enter the north door. Upon
entering, you will be confronted by Metal Gear D.

*****BOSS FIGHT #9*****
Metal Gear D

Metal Gear D can be difficult if you don't know what to do. Metal Gear D can
only move up and down. It can fire its vulcan cannon 360 degrees around the
room. Throw a GRENADE at its legs whenever you get the chance. When it moves
back, it is about to fire two heat-seeking missiles. Throw a GRENADE at its
legs and use (F3) the BLUE CARD to exit the room. Re-enter the room and keep
trying to repeat this pattern. Try to avoid getting stepped on when it moves
forward. Move to the sides or behind it if needed. Equip (F3) the BODY ARMOR
to try to reduce the power of the vulcan cannon. The room will flash black
and white when you hit Metal Gear D. It will take about 20-30 GRENADES and
3-5 RATIONS to defeat Metal Gear D.

After the fight, the lights in the room are turned on and Snake will be on
fire! Grey Fox will then say, "I take the cartridge... Burn & die!". You will
then receive a call (F4) from Campbell. He will tell you that your equipment
is burning and that you need to get rid of it! Go to your equipment (F3) and
press Space Bar on each item to get rid of it. Get rid of your RATIONS last.
Snake stops burning and chases Fox to a mine field. Snake asks what this is
and Fox tells Snake that this is the final conflict. He will then challenge
Snake to a fistfight. Snake calls it a chicken fight. Fox says Snake was his
big rival in FOX-HOUND and he was eager for the day when he could fight Snake.
Snake says he will "kick the twisted mind" out of Fox. Fox then says, "SNAKE!
Learn the value of the 'FOX' title!" Snake then gets a call (F4) from George
Kessler, FOX-HOUND strategist and mercenary expert. Kessler will give you
all the info on Grey Fox. He will tell you that his real name is Frank Jaeger,
but ten years ago he was known as Frank Hunter, Hunter is Jaeger in German
(thanks to J. Soler for pointing out the translation error in the game). He
says he was the last man to bear the title FOX from the Big Boss days. Snake
says he already knows about his excellence. Kessler will then tell Snake about
his relationship with a woman from the east. He says about 10 years ago, they
tried seeking asylum, but America wouldn't grant her a green card. He said
Grey Fox held a lot of resentment towards his superiors for it. Snake asks
the name of the woman Fox was involved with. Kessler will tell you that she
was a former Czech figure skating Olympic gold medal winner. Her name was
Natasha Markova. Snake will then say "Natasha!" Kessler will tell Snake that
if he beats Fox, he will be the best mercenary in the world. The transmission
ends and your epic battle with Fox in the underground mine field begins.

*****BOSS FIGHT #10*****
Grey Fox

You're in like the smallest room in the game during this battle. And to add
more gas to the fire, the room is surrounded by MINES along the edge. If you
really want to be PO'ed about something, he can walk on the MINES! You can
see them on your radar without the MINE DETECTOR. If you want, you can blow
up a wall of MINES and hide in a corner during this fight if you want. It
may be the chicken way to go, but it's a lot easier since your fighting the
HARDEST BOSS IN THE GAME! Big Boss is a synch compared to this guy. Grey Fox
will run around the room during this battle. When tries to punch you, nail
him with a hard punch and try to escape before he hits you. When he tries
to hit you, he will throw three punches in a row. Keep repeating this pattern
until he's dead. If you want, you can try and get a punch in on him if you
think you can escape him before he hits you. Remember to avoid the walls at
all costs as there are MINES around the room. Fox will flash black and white
when he is hit. When he is almost dead, he will flash red. You have no weapons
or equipment in this battle; so don't even think about trying to heal yourself
with a RATION.

After the battle, Fox will say he thinks it's time to hand over the 'FOX'
title to Snake (Does this mean we should call him 'Solid Fox' from now on?).
Snake asks Fox why he helped Big Boss. Fox says he was in an awkward position.
He says Big Boss may have only been a supervisor to Snake, but he saved his
life twice long before he joined his troop. He says the first time was in
Vietnam when half-white men were discriminated against. He said he was forced
to work hard labors even after the war was over. He says that Big Boss helped
him out like he is doing with the children here. He says the second time was
in Mozambique. He says the Big Boss helped him when he was getting tortured
as a Renamo Soldier. Snake asks Fox if he thinks he's paying him back by doing
this. Fox says he hates war just like the children here, but he needs war
and can't live like a normal person. He says that Big Boss provides "us" with
area that "we" need to fight. He says that he was born on a battlefield and
he will die there, making other fortunate, especially women. Snake asks if
he's talking about "her". Fox says that dying in action suits him. Snake tells
Fox to rest assured that he will never like him. Fox says he will take Snake's
words to the afterlife as a souvenir. He wishes Snake well and tells him not
to trust his "fans" expectations. Snake then asks Fox if he made those calls.
Fox responds by saying that is was "a price for my selfishness". Snake then
says, "You're not alone, Frank. Natasha waits for you on the other side..."
Fox's dying words are "...Natasha.....Thank you, Snake" Grey Fox dies, the
MINES explode, your health will be refilled, and Grey Fox leaves behind the
CARTRIDGE.

XVII. Big Boss, The Final Battle:
After your battle with Grey Fox, you will hear a voice from a room to the
left say "Here, Snake!". The door will then open, run through that door. Again
you will hear the voice say "Here, Snake!" and the north door will open. Run
through that door and you will find former FOX-HOUND Commander, leader of
Outer Heaven, and the leader of Zanzibar Land, Big Boss. Snake says "Big
Boss...So, you were alive." Big Boss welcomes Snake to Zanzibar Land. He tells
Snake that he's has come back to him, just as he thought you would. Snake
says he's came to get rid of nightmares that have haunted him the last three
years (wasn't the fall of Outer Heaven FOUR years ago?). Big Boss will tell
Snake there's no way to exorcise them. He says that anyone who enjoys battling
will be on the battlefield for the rest of his life. He says once the battle
instinct surfaces, it will never sleep again. He says not money, power, or
sex can fill his desire. He says the only thing that can fill his desire is
war. Big Boss says he is providing it, giving Snake a means to live. Big Boss
says the children are victims of war from many nations. He says they are
budding soldiers for the next war. He says conflicts will never die in this
world. Snake translates that long speech by saying, "Without war, you'd be
out of a job. Is that what your saying?". Big Boss says that him and Snake
are rare in a battlefield, but just useless dummies back home. Boss says they
belong in a battlefield and will stay there till they die miserably. Snake
says he has only one battle and that is to be free from Big Boss and to rid
himself of nightmares. He then says, "Big Boss, I WILL kill you!" Big Boss
says whoever wins, the battle will not end. He says the loser will be freed
from the battlefield, and the winner must remain there and he will be a warrior
until his death. Snake says there are exceptions, he loves life. Boss says
he will free Snake from agony. He says it's his great-fullness as his former
supervisor. Snake says he doesn't need his help. Big Boss then says, "In a
situation without a single weapon... against me? You dare say you have such
a chance?!" Snake says never give up until the end, in any cornered situation,
imagine success. Snake tells Boss that he said that himself. Boss says even
he makes mistakes sometimes. Big Boss then says, "SNAKE! This time, once and
for all... COME ON! Your battle then starts with the eleventh and final boss
of the game, Big Boss.

*****BOSS FIGHT #11*****
Big Boss

This fight will be fought in a six-screen room littered with vents, acid
pools, and RATIONS. In the center of the room will be a big eight room complex
with IDCARDS, RATIONS, weapons, and acid pools. Start the battle by heading
right to the next screen. On this screen, avoid the acid pools, grab the B1
RATIONS, and head up to the next screen. Here you will need to grab another
B1 RATION and head left. On this screen, you will see a door on the north
part of the screen and two doors on the south part of the screen. Enter the
door on the left. In here, you will find IDCARD 6. Exit the room and head
left. On this screen, grab the B1 RATIONS and go down. On this screen you
will need to use one of your B1 RATIONS to get rid of the acid and head right.
On this screen, use (F3) IDCARD 6 and enter the room to find IDCARD 1. Exit
the room and head to the other side of the complex. Use (F3) IDCARD 1 to enter
the room on the northeast side of the complex. In here, grab IDCARD 2 and
exit the room. Head to the northwest side of the complex and use (F3) IDCARD
2 to enter the room. Crawl under the vent and grab IDCARD 3 and exit the room.
Head to the southwest side of the complex and head right. On this screen,
use (F3) IDCARD 3 to enter the room and grab IDCARD 4. Exit the room and head
right. Use IDCARD 4 to enter this room. Go around the acid pool in here and
grab the ===LIGHTER===. Equip (F2) the lighter and exit the room. Head to
the center section on the north part of the complex and use (F3) IDCARD 4
to enter the room. Avoid the acid pool, grab the final card, IDCARD 5, and
exit the room. Now head to the southwest part of the complex where you used
the B1 RATION on the acid and use IDCARD 5 to enter the room. In here, grab
the ---SPRAY---. Equip (F3) the spray and call (F4) Master Miller (140.38).
He will tell you that you can combine the SPRAY and the LIGHTER to make a
FLAME THROWER. Now that you have you new little toy, it's time to fight Big
Boss. Exit the room and fire away. Big Boss will fire several shots at you
with his gun. They should be easily avoidable. Most of the time he will only
fire shots when he is right in front of you, so use this your advantage. He
can hear your footsteps if you walk on the surface with holes in it. A good
way to kill him to to hide behind a corner of the complex and when he comes
around it, blast him with the FLAME THROWER and run to the next corner. Another
good way to kill him is to get across from him behind the crates and fire
away. He can't shoot through the crates, so don't worry about getting hit.
Keep repeating either pattern until he's dead. You only have two RATIONS to
work with, so be careful. Watch out for the acid pools around the room. Big
Boss will flash black and white when hit. He will flash red when he is about
to die.

When you kill him, he will flash several colors and his last words will be,
"Snake...Not yet...Not yet...Snake...Sn..". Now that you've killed Big Boss,
head to the center part of the northern part of the complex and head through
the north door, which should now be open. When you go through the door to
the next room, a guard will appear behind you and say, "HALT!" Don't worry;
it's really Holly in disguise. She says she's sorry about that and asks Snake
if he's all right. She then takes off the uniform and asks Snake if he was
surprised. Snake says he barely survived and asks what she is doing here.
Holly says they promised that they would meet up if they were alive. Holly
gives Snake a HANDGUN that she took from a guard. Holly asks how they are
going to get out of here and he asks Holly if he should call her a limo. Holly
tells him that this is no time for jokes. Snake then calls someone named
Charlie at 140.00. He tells him that the mission is completed and to come
and pick him up. He says that he will meet him at the next pickup point and
asks if there are any guests. Snake says there is one "blonde beauty" with
him. Charlie says he is looking forward to seeing her. Snake tells Holly that
he'll run to the pickup point nonstop and asks her if she can follow him.
Holly responds by saying "Oh boy...This is going to be rough.". Snake tells
her that she may get a little tired, but it's good exercise. Run up the path
with Holly following. Three armed guards at the end of the path will greet
you. Your HANDGUN has infinite ammo, so shoot them if you want, but they will
just keep following you. Continue down the path with the guards following
you. Watch out for a trap in a small square area. Feel free to grab the B1
RATION on the screen after that if needed and continue on. At the end of the
path, summon the elevator. It will take a while for the elevator to reach
your floor, so just keep killing guards. Don't worry about shooting in Holly's
path because it won't kill her. Get on the elevator and take it up to the
first floor. Guards will probably follow you on board, so just kill them.
Exit the elevator and pickup the B1 RATION. Follow the path north through
the JUNGLE breaking all the trip wires along the way. When you reach the end
of the path, Snake will call Charlie and say, "CHARLIE! You're late! Christmas
will be over soon." Charlie will say he's still 10K away and to hang on. Snake
tells Charlie to hurry. Take out the guards while you wait. Watch out for
the trap in the lower right corner of the escape path. After all the guards
are killed, fire your gun again. Snake will say it's out of ammo. Three guards
will surround you. You will hear chopper noises and gunshots will fire from
the sky and takeout all the guards. Holly will acknowledge the chopper and
say that we're saved. Snake will call Charlie and tell him that he's not a
second too soon. Charlie says that he didn't want to disturb you two. Snake
asks Holly if they will arrive before Christmas. Holly responds by saying
"Possibly before dinner." Snake says it's good idea because he's had enough
of those combat RATIONS. The screen will fade to black and you will hear
chopper sounds. The screen will have a little white box in it that will show
the chopper rising out of Zanzibar Land. You'll then be shown the sunset
(which looks better than it does on some PSX games!) and see the chopper flying
in the sky. The credits will then role on the sunset. After the credits, the
screen will fade black and the music will fade away. Campbell will then tell
Snake well done and ask him if he will go back to "our" squad. Snake then
says "Nightmare gone, I'm free. Campbell then asks Snake if the CARTRIDGE
is truly the one that Dr. Marv left. Holly asks if you want to try opening
the CARTRIDGE. Snake says there's no need to and tells them to insert it into
an MSX as it is. Campbell says he has one here, his good old MSX. You then
see the MSX start screen and Holly says that nothing happened. Campbell then
says, "Look...Snake is right!" Holly asks what he means and says that she
doesn't see it. Snake says that Dr. Marv's signature is on it in full. Holly
says she now sees that it's backwards. Campbell says, "Now the world is
saved...". Snake says it was Dr. Marv's last performance. Holly said that
he really loved games. Campbell said that he died in a stupid politics game.
Then Holly says "But...He left a game that saved us all. Didn't he, Snake?".
Holly then says that Snake is gone! Campbell said that he guess his place
is no longer here. Holly said that's cruel after he made a dinner appointment
with her. The screen fades to black again and more credits start to role.
These credits will show the cast of the game. After the credits are over,
the game will restart at the Konami screen. Congratulations, you have just
beaten Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

Night Fright

2009-03-10T01:17:00.000-07:00

Night Fright was a Zanzibar Land mercenary who uses an optic camouflage suit that is also undetectable by radar and wields a Wei Shen Sho Ciang, roughly translated from Chinese "Silent Machine Gun", a gun which appropriately makes little noise. He was a surviving member of The Whispers, a legendary guerilla squad from North Vietnam. He fought against Solid Snake in the basement of the Detention Camp during Operation Intrude F014.

Jungle Evil

2009-03-09T01:06:00.000-07:00

Jungle Evil was a Zanzibar Land mercenary who specializes in ambush techniques and guerilla warfare, and the self-styled "King of the Jungle."

Also known as the "Phantom Assassin", he was once an operative for a reconnaissance command unit in the South African Special Forces Brigade. He also served as a mercenary in Vietnam and southern Yemen. During his time as a mercenary, he single-handedly destroyed two entire troop companies. He wears a high-tech camouflage suit that renders him undetectable to motion sensing radar.

Jungle Evil fought against Solid Snake during Zanzibar Land Uprising in front of a laboratory near the Detention Camp.

Four Horsemen

2009-03-09T00:56:00.000-07:00

The Four Horsemen were an assassination squad employed by Zanzibar Land that specialized in close-quarters combat. They were comprised of former elite members of UDT, GSG-9 and SAS. They used their increased weight inside elevators to their advantage.

They fought against Solid Snake during Operation Intrude F014 in an elevator inside Tower Building under direct orders from Gray Fox and Big Boss.

Red Blaster

2009-03-08T03:01:00.000-07:00

Red Blaster was a Zanzibar Land mercenary who specializes as a grenadier. He was an elite assassin who earned his special operations degree from the Patrice Lumumba University of the former Soviet Union. He once served as a detonation professional for Spetsnaz.

Red Blaster fought against Solid Snake during Operation Intrude F014 in the 30th floor of Tower Building. He ambushed Snake as he left the elevator with a wired trap all over the room, which restrained his movements while he attacked him with grenades. However, Snake outsmarts him and blows him up using the same weapon.

Running Man

2009-03-08T01:58:00.000-08:00

Running Man was a Zanzibar Land mercenary noted for his high agility. He was well-versed in explosives and setting boobytraps that require his fast feet. He was once a well-known short-range runner who gained his fame during the Barcelona Olympics. His athletic career was put to an end when he was caught using steroids and he became a mercenary afterwards. He was involved in terrorist activities through all of Europe. He once served as a sub-leader to a French terrorist group and got his name from the German Special Police Force SEK.

Running Man fought against Solid Snake in a gas-filled corridor during Operation Intrude F014. Snake managed to use Running Man's greatest asset against him by placing mines in Running Man's path.

Black Ninja

2009-03-07T03:14:00.000-08:00

During Operation Intrude F014, Kyle Schneider confronted Snake after disguising himself as Dr. Kio Marv. Snake did not recognize Schneider until he defeated him in battle. Before dying, Schneider revealed his identity to Snake and told him what became of him after Outer Heaven. He provided a hint to Snake about the real Dr. Marv's location before dying.

Bigg Boss

2009-03-07T02:59:00.000-08:00

In 1997, he took control of another nation known as Zanzibar Land. Recruiting war orphans from across the Third World and raising them as soldiers, Big Boss hoped to create a nation by and for soldiers, where soldiers were honored and not treated as tools. Big Boss also recruited Gray Fox to his cause. To ensure Zanzibar Land's success, Big Boss once again commissioned the creation of a more advanced Metal Gear prototype, known as Metal Gear D. This time, Dr. Madnar developed the new model on his own free will, after being institutionalized into an asylum in the US. It is rumored that Dr. Madnar also provided Big Boss with cybernetic body parts to compensate for the injuries he received in Outer Heaven.

In 1999, Solid Snake once again managed to infiltrate the enemy nation and destroy Metal Gear. Snake eventually defeated Gray Fox hand-to-hand in the middle of a minefield. Bruised and unarmed, Snake was once again confronted by a machine gun-wielding Big Boss. Having spent his entire life on the battlefield, Big Boss could not conceive of a world without war. Big Boss paraphrased his mentor's final challenge to Snake before challenging his son to one final battle.

Snake managed to cobble together a makeshift flamethrower, using a can of lacquer spray and a cigarette lighter and used it to incinerate Big Boss.

Big Boss's body was recovered by the U.S. government and they discovered that he was, in fact, alive. He was injected with nanomachines to induce a sort of eternal coma. For Zero, Big Boss was an irreplaceable icon and, more importantly, an irreplaceable friend. Big Boss's genome was then used to identify the "soldier genes", which the U.S. government gave to the Next Generation Special Forces via gene therapy.

Gray Fox

2009-03-07T01:57:00.000-08:00

In 1999, Fox began hijacking several nuclear disposal sites with the revised Metal Gear D. This act, along with Zanzibar Land's kidnapping of Dr. Kio Marv, led to a retaliation from FOXHOUND, which was now under the command of Col. Roy Campbell. Snake was pulled from retirement and was the sole agent sent out to neutralize Zanzibar Land. During the course of Snake's mission, Fox began transmitting anonymous messages to Snake in order to help him overcome certain obstacles and traps. Fox and Snake met again after four years when the bridge leading to the detention camp where Dr. Marv was being held was destroyed by Fox himself. Ironically enough, Fox also caused the death of his former lover, Gustava Heffner (who was in Zanzibar Land, now serving as an StB agent and Marv's bodyguard), when he destroyed the bridge. Shortly thereafter, when Snake tries to access the top floor, Gray Fox stops the elevator and arranges for the Four Horsemen to defeat Snake. Later, Snake successfully destroyed Metal Gear D and confronted Fox barehanded in a minefield. Snake won the battle and escaped the facility, leaving a presumed dead Gray Fox behind.

George Kasler

2009-03-06T11:48:00.000-08:00

George Kasler is a member of FOXHOUND during the events of Operation Intrude: F014. He is a well-known mercenary who possess intel on every active mercenary in the world and it is said that those who are not aware of who he is are not worthy of being recognized as part of the elite.

Kasler participated in various regional conflicts for South African mercenary companies and the French Foreign Legion. Kasler fought for Zanzibar Land during the War of Mercenaries against the CIS Army, but suffered a deep wound on his right thigh, ending his career. Afterward, Kasler worked briefly as a hostage negotiator and lent his field experience to work as an expert in military intelligence.

Kasler was hired to work as an arms adviser for FOXHOUND shortly before the events of the Zanzibar Land incident. During the mission, he provided operative Solid Snake with his expertise when he enganged in combat with Zanzibar Land's mercenary force. He informed Snake of Gray Fox's true identity near the end of Snake's mission.

Gustava Heffner

2009-03-06T10:34:00.000-08:00

Gustava Heffner was a member of the StB (the Czech State Police) assigned to protect to Dr. Kio Marv during the Zanzibar Land incident in 1999.

She later established contact with Solid Snake, who was currently carrying out Operation Intrude F014 and accompanied him for a brief while eventually gaining feelings for him and he in return. She helped him free Dr. Madnar from his cell. While the trio attempted to cross the suspension bridge (known as the Bridge of Sorrow) that led to the detention camp where Dr. Marv was being held, they were ambushed by Metal Gear D, where Gustava was hit by a missile. Ironically, the man piloting Metal Gear was her former lover, Gray Fox.

Before she died, she gave Snake her brooch shaped in the symbol of Zanzibar Land, which was secretly the key to Dr. Marv's locker where the OILIX formula was being held.

Dr. Kio Marv

2009-03-06T09:32:00.000-08:00

Dr. Kio Marv was a Czech scientist. In 1999 during the energy crisis, he invented of the OILIX formula, a new species of algae, that could produce petroleum-grade hydrocarbons with little expense and effort. He presented the algae to the World Energy Conference in Prague, and was on his way to a U.S demonstration when he was taken hostage en route by agents of Zanzibar Land.

FOXHOUND carried out a rescue operation immediately, and Solid Snake was called in to rescue Dr. Marv from Zanzibar Land's clutches.

During his captivity, Dr. Marv was able to send out a carrier pigeon with his contact frequency written on it. This pigeon was found by Solid Snake, who was able to contact Dr. Marv. Unfortunately, Snake didn't speak Czech or Slovakian so he couldn't understand what the scientist was saying. Fortunately Snake was able to make contact with Marv's bodyguard, Gustava Heffner. Snake eventually reached the prison where Dr. Marv was being held, only to find that he'd been killed by his old friend, Dr. Madnar. However, he'd to been able to hide the OILIX from his captors in an MSX cartridge, allowing Snake to procure the data and deliver it to his superiors.

Dr. Marv's invention ended the world's energy crisis, but it ultimately cost him his life.

Johan Jacobsen

2009-03-05T11:42:00.000-08:00

Johan Jacobsen is a zoologist and an international authority on endangered species. He was an academic friend of Dr. Madnar during their college years. He worked as vice chairman for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and has also served as a biology adviser for Maxwell magazine. During Operation Intrude F014, he was near Zanzibar Land, conducting research on the desert wildlife of the Middle East. Solid Snake learned his frequency from Dr. Madnar during his mission and often came in contact with him when dealing with animal matters.

Master Miller

2009-03-05T00:55:00.000-08:00

McDonell Benedict Miller, also known as Master Miller, was FOXHOUND's survival trainer during Roy Campbell's command of the unit.

After the Zanzibar Land Uprising and Colonel Campbell's retirement, Miller retired as well, moving to Alaska to live in solitary in a three story house with his huskies. He sometimes trained the Alaskan scouts during his free time.

Dr. Drago Pettrovich Madnar

2009-03-04T09:46:00.000-08:00

Dr. Drago Pettrovich Madnar was a robotics engineer responsible for the creation of the Metal Gear TX-55 prototype in Outer Heaven and its successor, Metal Gear D in Zanzibar Land.

He was the one who orchestrated Dr. Marv's kidnapping, and eventual death. Snake learned the truth from Holly, and confronted him. He attacked Snake, but was easily defeated.

A bit later, apparantly out of guilt for his actions after Snake retrieved the MSX cartridge, Dr. Madnar told him how to destroy the Metal Gear D. However, Snake fell down a trap door (which was hinted to have been activated by Gray Fox on his own accord, due to his mocking Dr. Madnar's claim that it had a weakness in it's leg joints).

Holly White

2009-03-03T09:40:00.000-08:00

During Operation Intrude F014, she infiltrated Zanzibar Land for the CIA while posing as a journalist. She established contact with FOXHOUND operative Solid Snake, who was dispatched to the country retrieve Dr. Kio Marv. Holly provided her assistance to Snake and served as a navigator of the fortress' layout. At one point, her cover was blown and she was captured. Snake managed to rescue her and she managed to stay hidden disguised as a soldier. It was Holly who exposed Dr. Madnar's treachery to Snake. After Snake retrieved the OILIX formula and defeated Big Boss, Holly escaped from Zanzibar Land together with Snake. Snake had made dinner plans with Holly at the end of the mission, but these were never met due to Snake's retreat to the Alaskan wilderness.

Roy Campbell

2009-03-03T00:33:00.000-08:00

Campbell brought out former FOXHOUND agent Solid Snake during the Zanzibar Land uprising and served as his commanding officer during Operation: Intrude F014 in 1999. With his supervision, Snake was able to defeat the forces of Zanzibar Land and retrieve the OILIX formula.

In the following year, Campbell retired as FOXHOUND commander for undisclosed reasons, although it is believed he was unhappy with the direction the unit was taking.

Solid Snake

2009-03-03T00:24:00.000-08:00

In 1999, Snake's former commander, Roy Campbell, called upon him again for another operation in Central Asia. Apparently, a new highly militarized nation called Zanzibar Land kidnapped Dr. Kio Marv, inventor of the oil refining microbe, OILIX. Not only that, but a new Metal Gear was believed to be being developed in Zanzibar Land.

Snake's mission objectives were to infiltrate the seemingly impenetrable wall that surrounded Zanzibar Land and recover Marv. He succeeded in both tasks, and deep in the heart of Zanzibar Land, he destroyed the Metal Gear D. Afterwards, he fought his former ally Gray Fox who piloted the Metal Gear, and successfully stopped the ambitions of Big Boss. Big Boss, the man behind Zanzibar Land, returned for a final battle/test against Snake, but Snake ultimately defeated him using a makeshift flamethrower which consisted of a lighter and an aerosol can.

Story

2009-03-02T09:50:00.000-08:00

By 1999, the Cold War had thawed, and it seemed nuclear proliferation would soon be a thing of the past. Despite this, all was not well in the world. A series of shocks to the oil market spurred the development of new high-tech energy sources, including fusion power. However, most vehicles still relied on oil for power. Oil reserves were at a critical low, and the world community was prepared to take drastic measures, either by drilling into sand and shale for more oil, despite the difficulty -- or moving on to renewable fuels.

Such steps proved unnecessary when Czech scientist, Dr. Kio Marv, successfully bio-engineered a new species of algae, OILIX, that could produce petroleum-grade hydrocarbons with little expense and effort. Marv presented the algae to the World Energy Conference in Prague, and was on his way to a demonstration in the United States when he was kidnapped by soldiers from Zanzibar Land. NATO discovers that Zanzibar Land's leaders plan to hold the world hostage by controlling the supply of oil, and some good old-fashioned nuclear brinkmanship, courtesy of a stockpile of nukes.

Solid Snake was brought out of retirement by FOXHOUND's new commander, Roy Campbell, and is sent to Zanzibar Land to rescue Dr. Marv.

Gameplay

2009-03-01T09:43:00.000-08:00

Metal Gear 2 builds upon the stealth-based gameplay of its predecessor. As in the original Metal Gear, the player's objective is to infiltrate the enemy's stronghold, while avoiding detection from soldiers, cameras, infrared sensors and other surveillance devices. The biggest change in the game was done to the enemy's behavior. Whereas the guards in the original game could see in straight lines, the guards in Metal Gear 2 all have a field of vision of 45 degrees. The guards can also turn their heads left or right to see diagonally and move from one screen to another (instead of remaining stationed in one area). The enemy can also hear any noise made by the player, which usually occurs when the player knocks on a wall, fires a non-silenced firearm, uses an explosive, or walks over certain types of terrain. If the player is discovered by the enemy, then a counter will be displayed on the upper right side of the screen that will go down after the enemy has lost track of the player. When the counter reaches zero, the alert phase will go off and the game will return to normal.

The player has been given a variety of new maneuvers and tools to help them remain undetected and complete the game. For example, the player can now kneel and crawl in addition to walking, allowing the player to avoid making noise, pick up land mines, and hide under tight spaces such as under desks or inside air ducts. A radar with a 3x3 grid on the upper right of the screen shows Snake's current position in the center screen (as a red dot), with enemy soldiers as white dots, allowing the player to determine what's ahead. However, the radar is disabled when the player is in alert phase. The radar can also be used with the mine detector equipped to determine the locations of any placed mines or fire stinger missiles on an airborne target. Many of the weapons and equipment from the first game are brought over as well as new items such as robotic mice used to distract enemies, a camouflaged mat and three different types of rations with their special attributes. The player no longer needs to rescue hostages to increase their rank; instead their life energy and carrying capacity is increased each time they defeat one of the game's bosses.

The transceiver has been greatly revamped from the first game as well. The messages the player receives are now based on their current situation and mission objective, rather than the room they're currently in, making them less fixed and more dynamic. The transceiver now displays Snake's face, as well as the face of the character he's currently communicating with. The player can also talk to children living in the fortress to gain new information; the player is penalized with loss of health if he kills a child. The game's areas are more varied than in the first game and a number of puzzles must be fulfilled to complete the game, such as luring a carrier pigeon with a ration, chasing after a female spy to the women's bathroom or deciphering secret Tap Codes to gain vital information such as a new frequency number.

About Game

2009-03-01T00:48:00.000-08:00

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake is a stealth game that was written and directed by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami. It is the second game in the Metal Gear series and the direct precursor to Metal Gear Solid. It was initially released only in Japan for the MSX2 on July 19, 1990. The game was not ported to another platform until 14 years later, as a downloadable game for mobile phones in Japan in 2004. The game was officially released in North America and Europe for the first time as a component of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence along with the original Metal Gear in 2006.

In the game, Solid Snake must infiltrate Zanzibarland (a fictional country unrelated to the actual Zanzibar that is part of Tanzania), a heavily defended territory located in Central Asia to rescue a kidnapped scientist and destroy the revised Metal Gear D.

After the release of the NES version of Metal Gear in North America, Konami commissioned the development of a sequel for the NES, Snake's Revenge (a game made specifically with the American market in mind), without the consent of Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima.

According to Kojima's account of the events, he did not have any plans to design a Metal Gear sequel at the time and was unaware that a sequel was being produced until he became acquainted with a member of the Snake's Revenge development team on a train ride in Tokyo. Kojima was then informed about the development of Snake's Revenge and was told "it's not the authentic Snake, so please create a new Snake game of your own." After being given the go-ahead by his bosses at Konami, he began developing Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake with the MSX division of Konami. Metal Gear 2 serves as a follow-up to the original Metal Gear, ignoring the events of Snake's Revenge (which was unreleased in Japan), and every canonical Metal Gear title released afterward acknowledge only the events of Metal Gear 2, relegating Snake's Revenge to an apocryphal status.

Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

2009-02-12T06:57:00.000-08:00

The Nintendo Entertainment System is an 8-bit video game console that was released by Nintendo in North America, Europe and Australia in 1985. In most of Asia, including Japan (where it was first launched in 1983), China, Vietnam, Singapore, and the Philippines, it was released as the Family Computer commonly abbreviated as the Famicom , or FC for short). In South Korea, it was known as the Hyundai Comboy and was distributed by Hyundai Electronics. In South Asia, it was known as the Tata Famicom. It was succeeded by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

As the best-selling gaming console of its time, the NES helped revitalize the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983,and set the standard for subsequent consoles in everything from game designf to controller layout. In addition, with the NES, Nintendo introduced a now-standard business model of software licensing for third-party developers.

MSX2

2009-02-12T06:48:00.000-08:00

MSX was the name of a standardized home computer architecture in the 1980s. It was a Microsoft-led attempt to create unified standards among hardware makers, conceived by one-time Microsoft Japan executive Kazuhiko Nishi. Despite Microsoft's involvement, MSX-based machines were seldom seen in the United States and Britain, but they were popular in other markets. Eventually 5 million MSX-based units were sold worldwide.

Nishi proposed MSX as an attempt to create a single industry standard for home computers. Inspired by the success of VHS as a standard for video cassette recorders, many Japanese electronic manufacturers along with GoldStar, Philips and Spectravideo built and promoted MSX computers. Any piece of hardware or software with the MSX logo on it was compatible with MSX products of other manufacturers. In particular, the expansion cartridge form and function were part of the standard; any MSX expansion or game cartridge would work in any MSX computer.

Before the appearance and great success of Nintendo's Family Computer, MSX was the platform for which major Japanese game studios, such as Konami and Hudson Soft, produced their titles. The Metal Gear series was originally written for MSX hardware.

Snake's Revenge

2009-02-11T23:48:00.000-08:00

Snake's Revenge is a stealth action game developed by Konami for the NES. It was released in North America in April 1990 (under the Ultra Games label) and in Europe in March 1992 (under the Konami label). It was never released in Japan, despite the game being produced there.
Originally made as a direct sequel to the original Metal Gear, Snake's Revenge was the first game in the Metal Gear series made without the involvement of creator Hideo Kojima, although members of the development team previously worked with Kojima with the original MSX2 version of Metal Gear. It is not part of the series' canon and is considered part of a parallel universe to the other games. Despite its positive reception and reviews, the game is generally hated by fans of the series due to its removal from the series canon, and is considered by most to have nothing to do with the Metal Gear series at all.

Set three years after Operation Intrude N313 (the events of Metal Gear), the United States government discovers that an undisclosed hostile nation may have gotten ahold of the plans for Metal Gear and are secretly constructing weapons of mass-destruction. Solid Snake, the FOXHOUND operative responsible for the downfall of Outer Heaven, is recruited to lead a three men team consisting of himself and fellow operatives John Turner and Nick Myer, on a mission to infiltrate the enemy's base. The codename of the mission is Operation 747.

After the success the NES version of Metal Gear had in the Western market, especially in North America, where Metal Gear reportedly sold over a million copies, Konami commissioned the development of a sequel for the NES made specifically with the western market in mind.
Hideo Kojima, who was not planning on making a sequel to Metal Gear due to the relatively lower sales of the MSX2 version in Japan, ran into a member of the Snake's Revenge development staff on a train ride in Tokyo. The developer told Kojima that he knew Snake's Revenge wasn't an "authentic Snake [game]", and was a fan of the original game, so he made a request to Kojima for the development of a true Metal Gear sequel. By the end of the train ride, Kojima had already developed the basic storyline for the entire game. The very next day, he went to his boss at Konami with a game plan, and was given the go-ahead to make Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, then exclusively for the MSX2, and released in 1990.
As a result, the actual Metal Gear 2 was released exclusively in Japan for the MSX2, while Snake's Revenge became the Metal Gear sequel for the North American and European market, although Metal Gear 2 would see release in the English market 16 years later as a component of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.

Snake's Revenge plays essentially like an updated version of the original Metal Gear. Aspects from the MSX2 version of Metal Gear that were missing from the NES version, such as the ability to take food and ammo by punching enemies or the double exclamation mark alert, were restored in Snake's Revenge. The actual Metal Gear, which was missing in the NES version, makes an appearance along with a new prototype. The game also has more varied locations than the first Metal Gear, such as a jungle, a warehouse, a transport train, and a cargo ship filled with smaller mass-produced Metal Gear units.

MG NES Version

2009-02-11T04:47:00.000-08:00

The Nintendo Entertainment System version came to North America in June 1988, followed by PAL version in Europe and Australia in March 1989. Konami produced this version without Kojima's direct involvement and several changes were made as a result. Kojima has been vocal about his disappointment at the quality of the NES version, going as far to regard the game as "complete garbage".

Additionally, the English NES version's manual and packaging swayed from the game's official storyline. The game's main villain (whose identity is intentionally kept secret in the game) is mentioned to be "Col. Vermon CaTaffy" . Snake's commanding officer is referred as "Commander South." Moreover, Snake is mentioned as having participated in the Grenada invasion prior to joining FOXHOUND. This localized version of the game's story is only referenced in the packaging and manual for Snake's Revenge (which features a similar discrepancy between the manual and the game's version of the story) and is never referred in the later Metal Gear Solid games.

Differences between MSX2 and NES versions.

* The biggest difference between the MSX2 and NES versions is in the presence of the actual Metal Gear mecha or lack there of in the NES version. Instead, the player must destroy a "Super Computer" which controls all of Metal Gear's activities in its place. The method of destroying it was also changed. While in the MSX2 version, the player must place 16 plastic explosives on Metal Gear's feet based on the order given by Dr. Petrovich, in the NES version the player must simply place the bombs over the Super Computer on no specific parts (however, the player must have already rescued Elen and Dr. Petrovich first).

* In the MSX2 version, Snake performs an underwater insertion into Outer Heaven in the beginning of the game in the entrance of Building No. 1. In the NES version, he performs an air insertion by skydiving and parachuting into the Jungle with three other soldiers who disappear after landing. They are neither seen or mentioned again.

* The level designs were altered greatly in the NES version. In the beginning of the game, the player must proceed through a jungle area before reaching the entrance of Building No. 1 through a truck. The first floor corridor of Building No. 1 was also remodeled greatly, with many of its trucks and rooms moved to other locations. The basement-level floors of Building No. 1 and 2 were made into separate buildings, Building No. 4 and 5 respectively.

* In order to reach Building No. 4 or 5, the player must go through one of two jungle mazes located west to each of the outdoor areas. The solution for both mazes are the same, although it is never actually given within the game.

* The boss, the Hind D, was replaced. Instead, the player faces a pair of gunners known as Twin Shot on the rooftop of Building No. 1.

* Since the player no longer has to parachute to reach Dr. Petrovich's cell in Building No. 1, the parachute was removed. An Iron Glove was added in its place, which allows the player to break hollow walls. However, in some versions of the NES game, the Iron Glove has no real use.
The Flying Army located on the roof of Building No. 1 and 2 lost their ability to hover over the ground in the NES version.

* In the NES version, the "high alert" (or double exclamation mark) mode was disabled. As such the player can always make their escape from alert mode by simply moving to the adjacent screen.

* The player can no longer acquire rations or ammo by punching enemy soldiers in Sneaking Mode.

* Solid Snake's face no longer appears in the transceiver mode's screen.
Big Boss' final message to the player after the closing credits was removed.
Some of the music (mainly, the two main themes and the alert mode theme) was changed in the NES version.

* There are also several other minor differences in gameplay, including several bugs and glitches. Some of the radio conversations were "misplaced" as a result of the redesigned areas in the NES game. For example, if the player calls Schneider in front of the room containing the Gas Mask in Building No. 1, he will tell Snake the location of the mine detector instead. This is due to the fact that the same spot in the MSX2 version used to be a minefield. In addition, the player's bullets have a longer range than they do in the MSX2 version and the player can also shoot while wearing the cardboard box.

* In NES version, after defeating Big Boss, the player uses an elevator instead of climbing a ladder at the end of the MSX2 version.

MG Reception

2009-02-11T01:05:00.000-08:00

The NES version of Metal Gear was rated the 104th best game made on a Nintendo System in Nintendo Power's Top 200 Games list.

Its success led to the creation of two separately produced sequels; the first one, Snake's Revenge, was produced specifically for the Western market for the NES and the other, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, was the canonical sequel developed by the original game's designer and released in Japan for the MSX2 in response to the former's creation. The latter was followed by the successful Metal Gear Solid, which was in turn followed by numerous sequels and spinoffs

The intro theme ("Operation Intrude N313"), main theme ("Theme of Tara") and game over theme ("Just Another Dead Soldier") from the MSX2 version were reused for the VR Training theme in Metal Gear Solid, which in turn was reused in Metal Gear: Ghost Babel and Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. "Theme of Tara" is one of the tunes that can be heard in the "Shadow Moses Island" stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii, the music for the beginning section of the Battleship Halberd Interior stage of the game's Adventure mode, where Snake officially enters the storyline, and can also be selected as music with an iPod item in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008 awarded Metal Gear with the world record as the First Ever Stealth Video Game.

I. Solid Snake's Entrance:
You(Solid Snake) start off swimming down a river around the terrorist
base, Outer Heaven. Snake receives a call from the commander-in-chief
of FOX-HOUND, Big Boss. He tells you that your mission is to infiltrate
the terrorist fortress Outer Heaven and destroy the ultimate weapon,
Metal Gear. He will tell you that your first objective is to search for
the missing FOX-HOUND operative Grey Fox and search for Metal Gear. He
will tell you that if you need any help to contact him at transceiver
frequency 120.85. Make a note of that and end the transmission. When
you start the game, you will be outside of +++BUILDING ONE+++ in Outer
Heaven. Proceed inside the building and you will get another call (F4)
from Big Boss. He will suggest that you try not to be discovered on
your mission. End the transmission and head up to the next screen. On
this screen, you'll see two guards and lots of crates. Sneak past the
guards and head right. On this screen, you'll see three trucks. Go in
the one on the left to find some ---RATIONS---. Exit that truck and
hide behind the center truck. When the guard exits the center truck,
quickly go in and get ---CARD 1---. Exit the truck. Enter the truck on
the right to find ---BINOCULARS---. Exit the truck and head back to the
screen with the two guards and a lot of boxes. From here head down to
the entrance to BUILDING ONE. Now go right. Sneak past the two guards
on this screen by using the tanks as cover and head right. Use (F3)
CARD 1 to enter the room. In here will be one guard and a ---GAS MASK--
- on the table. Wait until the guard falls asleep and take him out.
Then grab the GAS MASK off the table and head back to the entrance
screen to BUILDING ONE. From here, head north until you get to an
elevator with two guards guarding it. Head east from here. On this
screen you'll find three more trucks, a door on the south wall, and a
door on the east wall. Enter the truck on the left to find the
===HANDGUN===. Don't try to use it just yet as you don't have and ==-
AMMO-== for it yet. Exit the truck and hide behind the trucks. Wait for
a guard to come out of the far right truck and enter it. In here you
will find some ===MINES===. Exit the truck and head back to the screen
with the elevator. Wait until the two guards leave the screen, and
enter the elevator using (F3) CARD 1. Take the elevator to the third
floor.

Here you'll see two cameras in this room. One on the west wall and one
on the north side of the square in the middle of the room. Sneak pas
the cameras and head down on the far right wall. Avoid the two guards
in this area and go in the open door on the left. In here you will find
the AMMO. Use (F3) CARD 1 to enter the door on the south wall. In here,
you will find a POW tied to a chair. Go over to him to release him. Now
use (F3) CARD 1 to OPEN the door on the east wall. Now equip (F3) your
GAS MASK and enter the room. You will now receive a call (F4) from Big
Boss. He will tell you to put on your GAS MASK in the gas room (I guess
he's a little late on that one, huh). Make it through the gas room and
use CARD 1 to enter the door in the southeast corner of the room. In
this room, take out the guard by punching him when he comes to you.
Then avoid the camera and use (F3) CARD 1 to enter the door on the
southwest part of the room. In this room, you will find another POW. He
will tell you that another FOX-HOUNDER infiltrated Outer Heaven a few
days ago and was captured by the enemy. Exit the room and head east. On
this screen, you will see an open door, enter it. In here you will find
a rolling pin rolling across the room and a ===PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE===.
Wait for the rolling pin to go to your right, and run and grab the
PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES and hide in the slot on the left side of the room.
When you get the chance, run back to the entrance of the room. Now wait
for the rolling pin to go to your left, and run through the open door
on the right side of the room. Sneak past the guard on this screen and
proceed right. On this screen, two guards will come down from the slots
on the north part of the room. Take them out by punching and proceed to
the next screen. On this screen you will see a guard, two cameras, and
two doors, one on the north wall and one in the southeast part of the
room. Avoid the cameras and use (F3) CARD 1 to enter the door in the
southeast part of the room. In here, go to the desk and grab CARD 2.
Exit the room and use (F3) CARD 2 to enter the door on the north wall.
In here you will find RATIONS. Exit the room and head back to the room
after the gas room. In this room, take out the guard and avoid the
camera again. Use (F3) CARD 2 to enter the door in the northwest corner
of the room. In here you will find ===REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES===.
Exit the room and head back to the screen with two cameras, a guard,
and two door (the southeastern most screen on the floor). From here,
head up to the next screen. Here you will see a flashing white floor
and a control box on the other side of the room. Big Boss will call
(F4) you and tell you to use your REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES on the
power box to turn off the high-voltage. Use (F2) your REMOTE-CONTROLLED
MISSLES to destroy the control box. That will turn off the electric
floor and allow you to cross it to the next screen.

II. Captured on Purpose:
The first and one of the hardest parts of the game is now completed.
You've also picked up about 25% of your weapons up to this point. Well,
enough of my talking, it's time to move on to the second chapter of the
first Metal Gear.

On this screen there will be two guards and a door on the east wall.
Take out the guard walking east and use (F3) CARD 1 to enter the door.
In the room you will find the third POW. Rescue him and he will tell
you that resistance member Diane will help you on frequency 120.33.
Make a note of that and exit the room. Head north to the next screen.
On this screen you will see an elevator guarded by two guards from a
distance. Ignore it for now and head west. On this screen, you will see
three guards patrolling the area. As long as you stay lined up with the
wall, they won't see you. Take out the two guards that approach you by
punching them. Now you'll want to enter the door no the north side of
the room. Wait until the guard on the west dies of the room is moving
towards the south and use (F3) CARD 2 to enter the room. In the room
you will find the ---CARDBOARD BOX---. Now exit the room. When you come
out of the room, there will be two guards on this screen, the guard in
the south part of the room and the guard in the west part of the room.
Take out both guards and use (F3) CARD 2 to enter the door. Once in
this room, you will need to quickly move to the south wall and use (F3)
CARD 2 to enter the room. In here you will find four trigger happy
guards just waiting to kill you. I like to call them Ultra Box (if
you've played Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, you'll know what I'm talking
about). Take them out, one shot a piece and pick up the ===SILENCER===
that appears after you kill them. Now that you have the SILENCER you
may use your gun without the guards hearing it. Use (F3) CARD 1 to
enter the room on the east wall. In here you will find the ===GRENADE
LAUNCHER===. Exit the rooms and head west. You will notice that you are
back by the elevator that you entered the floor at. Watch out for the
camera and head south down the right path. Use (f3) CARD 2 to open the
door here and rescue the fourth POW. Exit the room and head back to the
elevator guarded by two guards from a distance. Take out the two guards
and use (F3) CARD 2 to enter the elevator. Take the elevator down to
the second floor.

When you exit the elevator, you will see two cameras. Both are fairly
close together on the left side of the room. Use the crates to avoid
the camera and head down to the next screen. On this screen, you will
see a guard wandering around. Wait until he falls asleep, kill him, and
head south once again. On this screen you will see peach colored walls
with gray lines on them. These are laser traps. Unlike Metal Gear
Solid, your ---CIGARETTES--- won't detect the lasers. Since you
currently have nothing to get through the laser traps, I'll do my best
to give you directions on how to avoid the lasers. From the top center
of the screen, head down until you hit a wall. Then turn right until
you hit a wall. Then go down to the next screen. This screen it similar
to the last, but there is a room you need to enter at the top of the
screen. From the entrance of the screen, go down. As you proceed down,
count the number of laser trap walls you see. When you reach the second
and third ones, go between them. Now go down until you hit a wall and
then go right until pass three laser walls. Now go up past two laser
walls. Now you go right until you are standing in front of the door.
Use (F3) CARD 1 to enter the room. In here you will find the fifth POW.
Rescue him and you will notice that your star rank is now up to two
stars. Your star rank will move up with every five POWs that you
rescue. If you kill a POW, your rank will decrease by one. You can now
carry more equipment and AMMO. Check the Ammo/Equipment Chart in the
Weapons/Ammo/Equipment section to find out exactly how much you can
carry at your current rank. Exit the room and head back through the
laser traps until you come to the screen with the sleeping guard. Take
him out again and head up the left path. Go left again on the next
screen and you will come to a screen with three guards. Watch their
walking pattern and take them out one at a time. Then down the path on
the southwest part of the room. On this screen you will see a security
camera two open door. Avoid the camera and head in the door on the
right to find AMMO. Exit that room and enter the room on the left to
find PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES. Exit the room and head back to the elevator.
Take the elevator to the first floor. When you exit the elevator you
will see two guards patrolling around three tanks. Take them out and
head south. On this screen you will see three cameras. Two on the right
wall and one on the left. Use the crates to avoid the cameras and use
(F3) CARD 2 to enter the room on the left. In here you will find the
sixth POW. Rescue him and he will tell you that a FOX-HOUNDER named
Grey Fox is confined in a secret cell. Exit the room and head south.
When you enter the next screen, DON'T MOVE! Two guards will be
patrolling the area and if you move, the one on the right can see you.
Take out the guard on the left, then the one on the right when he's not
looking. Use (F3) CARD 2 to enter the door on the right. Inside you
will find a ===SUB MACHINE GUN===. Exit the room and use (F3) CARD 1 to
enter the door on the left. Inside you will find the seventh POW. He
will tell you that the best way to gain access to the secret cell is to
allow yourself to be captured. Exit the room and head south. On this
screen, you will be behind two tanks and two guards will be patrolling
the area. Take them out and head left. As you proceed through the next
screen, a guard will come behind you and say "DON'T MOVE". Another
guard will then come and tell you that you are captured. The screen
will then fade to black as Snake is captured...

III. Rescuing Grey Fox:
After getting captured, it's time for Snake to complete his first
objective of the game and to gain a new objective in his operation. You
will also fight the first boss of the game.

With Snake captured and taken to the secret cell its time to figure out
a way to rescue Grey Fox. Big Boss will call (F4) you and tell you to
move out and locate Grey Fox's solitary cell. He suggest to you that
you punch the walls to get out. End the call and punch on north part of
the west wall until you hear a strange tap. Keep punching on it to open
up a passageway to the next cell. Proceed into the next cell. Inside
you will find the missing FOX-HOUND operative, Grey Fox. Rescue him and
he will tell you that Metal Gear is nuclear armed and that you must
destroy it before it is completed. He says that Dr. Pettrovich Madnar,
the designer of Metal Gear, is the only one who knows how to destroy
it. Punch on the south wall until you hear a strange tap and keep
punching that spot until the wall breaks. Exit the solitary cell. You
will find yourself in a sewer looking area. This is the first floor
basement of BUILDING ONE. You have no equipment and no weapons so you
must be cautious as you proceed. Head right from here. In this room the
first boss of the game, Shoot Gunner, will meet you.

*****BOSS FIGHT #1*****
Shoot Gunner

Ok, you must fight this boss on your own with no weapons. Good luck....

Just kidding:) You didn't think I would make you fight him with no boss
strategy did ya? If you notice in this room you will see two doors on
the south wall. Hide behind the crates on the right side of the room
and call (F4) Big Boss(120.85). He will tell you that your weapons and
equipment must be in one of those rooms. He will tell you to break the
door to get in. Break the door on the right by punching it and you will
get your weapons and equipment back. Exit that room and break the door
on the left. Enter the room to find ---CARD 3--- and AMMO. Exit the
room and hide back behind the crates again. Shoot Gunner will fire a
spray of bullets at you as you move across the room. When your behind
the crates, equip (F3) your REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES and fire them at
Shoot Gunner. Three or four hits with it will kill him.

After the battle, check your equipment (F3). You will notice that you
have a new little item called the ---TRANSMITTER---. The TRANSMITTER
will alert the guards of your presence as long as you have it on you.
Press Space Bar on it to get rid of it. Use (F3) CARD 3 to exit the
room via the door on the east side of the room. This next area is one
big spiral with guard dogs littered around it. Kill the dog next to the
door and go north of the door and punch the wall across from it. You
should hear that strange tapping sound again. Use (F2) a PLASTIC
EXPLOSIVE to destroy the wall. Head east from here. Watch out for dogs
on your way. Follow the path until you can go no further. Use (F2)
another PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE to destroy the wall on the left. Enter the
passageway and continue along the path. When you reach a wall, go back
one screen. Punch the south wall until you hear that strange tapping
sound again. Use (F2) another PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE to blow up that wall
and follow the path until you reach a door. Use (F3) CARD 3 to open the
door and enter the room. Inside the room you will find a ---BOMB BLAST
SUIT--- on the desk. Take it and head back around the spiral from where
you entered it. When you are back on the screen where you entered the
spiral, head north. On this screen, tap on the center of the west wall
until you hear that strange tapping sound once again. Use (F2) a
PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE to blow it up. Enter the room to find the ---UNIFORM-
--. Exit the room and head back down. Follow the path around the
outside of the spiral to the next screen. Tap on the left-center part
of the south wall until you once again hear that strange tapping sound.
Use (F2) a PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE to blow it up. Inside you will find AMMO
and PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES. Exit the room and follow the path north. Keep
going until you reach an elevator. Take the elevator to the second
floor.

On the second floor, use the crates to avoid the camera again and head
south. Take out the sleeping guard and take the left path up. When you
emerge from the path, you will see the room with the three guards
again. Take them out and use (F3) CARD 3 to enter the door on the west
wall. Proceed through this room. In the next room you will see a
rolling pin. Proceed quickly through this room and exit the room via
the door on the south wall. In the next area you will see a bunch of
crates and a single guard behind them. Just easily avoid the guard and
head south. In this room you will see a large wall in the middle of the
room and three guards roaming the south part of the room. Take them out
or avoid them and head south. In this area you will see an open door to
your left and a closed door to your right. There will also be two
guards patrolling the south part of the screen. Enter the door on the
left and you will find MINES on a desk surrounded by three sleeping
guards. Quietly take out the guards, grab the MINES, and exit the room.
Avoid the guards and use (F3) CARD 3 to enter the door on the right.
Inside you will find a POW. Rescue him and he will tell you that the
only way to reach the courtyard is by parachute. Exit the room, avoid
the guards, and head south. On the next screen you will see a blue
colored floor with gray colored floors near the entrance to the area
and the room in the center of the room. If the guard in this area sees
you, he will turn on the electric floor. Use the crate to avoid the
guard or take him out with a REMOTE CONTROLLED MISSLE and use (F3) CARD
3 to enter the door in the center of and grab the ---INFRARED GOGGLES--
-. Exit the room and head back to the room with the sleeping guard.
Take him out and head down. You will now be in the laser trap area from
earlier. Use (F3) your INFRARED GOGGLES to se where the lasers are.
Snake through the first screen of lasers to the south and through the
second screen of lasers and head west. In this area you will see one
guard patrolling the area and a room in the middle of the area. Use

tell you that Dr. Pettrovich is confined to a solitary cell in the
courtyard. Exit the room and use (F3) CARD 3 to enter the door on the
left. In here you will find the second boss of the game, Machine Gun
Kid.

*****BOSS FIGHT #2*****
Machine Gun Kid

Machine Gun Kid will run around the north part of the room firing
several shots downward. Hide behind a wall in the south part of the
room and use REMOTE CONTROLLED MISSLES to kill him. Four REMOTE
CONTROLLED MISSLES should do the trick.

After the boss fight, use (F3) CARD 1 to enter the door in the north
part of the room. In here you will find the ---PARACHUTE---.

IV. Parachuting to the Courtyard:
One objective completed and another one gained. Your goal now is to
find Dr. Pettrovich and find out information about Metal Gear.

From here you will need to head to the roof. But before you do that,
now is a good time to restock your entire inventory. You should know
where everything is in BUILDING ONE at this point in the game. After
you restock your inventory, head to the elevator in the northeast part
of the building. Take the elevator to the roof. When you exit the
elevator, you will get a call (F4) from Big Boss. He will tell you that
the wind barrier is extended on the roof and that you should look for a
BOMB BLAST SUIT. If you listened to me earlier and got the BOMB BLAST
SUIT from the basement, equip (F3) it for use on the roof. If not, then
go back to the basement and get it. After you equipped the BOMB BLAST
SUIT, head south. This screen will have two guards patrolling the area.
Take them out of sneak past them and head south. The next screen will
have one guard and a door in the southeast part of the area. Take out
the guard and use (F3) CARD 3 to enter the room. Inside you will find
REMOTE CONTROLLED MISSLES. If you don't have those completely stocked
yet, do it now. Exit the room and head back to the elevator area. From
here, head west. Here you will see three guards patrolling the north
part of this area. Just stay south behind the walls and you should be
safe. Head west again from here. This screen will have two guards
patrolling around a bunch of crates. This screen is also easy to get by
on as long as you stay south and head west. Here will be two more
guards. Take them out or sneak past them and head south to the next
screen. No guards here just enter the open door and grab the AMMO.
Exit the room and head south via the right path. Use (F3) CARD 2 to
enter the room here and rescue the POW. Exit the room and head back to
the screen with the two guards and a bunch of crates. Head south from
here. On this screen you will see a swaying bridge. You have to make it
across the bridge. If you fall off, you die. It's tricky at first, but
you'll get the hang of it. Just try to head straight down very slowly.
On the next screen you have to do the exact same thing, but the bridge
is swaying the other direction. Head down slowly and as straight as
possible. One across the bridge to the next screen, you will see a
rocket man type guard. He'll probably spot you and more will come.
Quickly move out of that screen to the west. Use (F2) the REMOTE
CONTROLLED MISSLES to destroy the control panel to the electric floor
in this area and use (F3) CARD 3 to enter the room. Stand by the door
and take out all the rocket guards that enter the room until they are
all dead the alarm stops. Grab the ---MINE DETECTOR--- on the desk and
exit the room. Head back to the screen after the bridge and head east.
Here you will face more rocket guard troubles. Just run past them east
to the next screen. On this screen the third boss of the game, the Hind
D, will confront you.

*****BOSS FIGHT #3*****
HIND D

The Hind D will sit on the ground and fire rapid shots at you. Stand
directly left of the cockpit grenade target distance away and he won't
touch you. Use (F2) your GRENEDE LAUNCHER and fire that at him until
he's dead. The most RATIONS you should use if you are hit is one or
two.

After the boss fight, head north. Then head west through the passageway
here. You will now be on a balcony and the rest of the screen will be
black. Equip (F3) the PARACHUTE and jump off the balcony to the
courtyard.

V. Desert Storm:
After beating the first Hind D in a Metal Gear game, it's time to
continue on and fight two boss fights in a row.

When you land in the courtyard, you will land in the middle of three
guard dogs. Take them out and head south. Here you will see two trucks.
DON'T ENTER THE TRUCK ON THE LEFT! If you do you will have to go all
the way up to the roof again and PARACHUTE all the way back down. Equip
(F3) your MINE DETECTOR and make your may through the MINES and enter
the truck on the right. In here you will find ---CARD 4---. Exit the
truck and head back up. You can go into the room on this screen using
(F3) CARD 4, but it's empty. From here head left. Take out the two dogs
on this screen and use (F3) CARD 4 to enter the room on the far left
side of the screen. Inside you will find a POW. He will tell you that
Dr. Pettrovich was moved to +++BUILDING TWO+++ which is 10K north of
here. Exit the room and use (F3) CARD 4 to exit the courtyard via the
north door. Use (F3) CARD 4 on this screen to enter the door on the
east side of the room. In this area will be six crates with four guards
between them. Snake past the guards and use (F3) CARD 4 to exit
BUILDING ONE.

You will now be in the +++DESERT+++. The DESERT is covered with MINES
so equip (F3) your MINE DETECTOR to see them. If you enter the truck on
the left, it will take you back to the truck I told you not to enter
earlier. If you enter the truck on the left, you will get PLASTIC
EXPLOSIVES. Exit the truck and head north. There are more MINES on this
screen. Just go through them and head north. This next screen will have
a truck and no MINES. When you start moving, something will be dropping
bombs on you. Try to get out of their way and enter the truck. In here
you will find a RATION. Stock up on them to the max and exit the truck
and head north. The next screen you will once again have to avoid
bombs. Dodge them and head north. Use (F3) a RATION if needed. On the
next screen you will encounter the fourth boss of the game, the Tank.

*****BOSS FIGHT #4*****
Tank

The Tank will fire machine gun rounds at you. Hide behind the wall to
stay away from it. When the tank backs up, place a MINE down in front
of the Tanks path. It will hit the MINE when it comes forward. When
placing the MINE, watch out for the missiles that it shoots out. If it
hits you, it will likely kill you. To avoid getting hit by the missile,
just place the MINE to the side of the missile cannon. Try to place two
or three MINES at a time to make the battle quicker. You might need to
use a RATION or two if your hit by his machine gun.

When the tank is destroyed, proceed north. This next screen is pretty
much empty. Proceed on to the next screen. Here you will see three
guards talking and their commander will tell the other two that a FOX-
HOUNDER infiltrated the base and they need to stop him at all costs.
Big Boss will then call (F4) you and tell you that you have reached the
checkpoint. He will tell you that you need an enemy uniform to sneak
past the guards in this area. He will also inform you that his new
frequency is 120.13. Make a note of that. End the transmission and
equip (F3) the UNIFORM. Proceed forward and the guards will open the
door and tell you to come in. Enter the door to go in BUILDING TWO.
From the entrance of the building, head right. On this screen you will
see two guards. One will be patrolling the northwest corner of the
screen and the other will be patrolling the other side of the drainage
system. Head up to the guard in the northwest corner of the screen and
take him out. Use (F3) CARD 4 to enter the room. Grab the MINES and the
AMMO and exit the room. When you exit the room, the guard will probably
spot you across the drainage system. Take out the guard near you and
the one across the drainage system. Then proceed back to where you
entered the building. From here, go down into the drainage system and
head left. Run through the drainage system and use (F3) CARD 4 to enter
the door in the drainage system. If the guards see you, just ignore
them and keep going. In this room the fifth boss of the game, the
Bulldozer, will confront you.

*****BOSS FIGHT #5*****
Bulldozer

When you enter this room the Bulldozer will be slowly approaching you.
You must defeat it before it crushes you. Exit the room and equip (F2)
your GRENADE LAUNCHER. Enter the room again and fire the grenades at
him as fast as you can. After it is hit with eight grenades, it will
explode and the path will be cleared.

Use (F3) CARD 4 to enter the next room. In this room you will see five
laser walls. Equip (F3) your INFRARED GOGGLES to see the lasers. The
lasers will flash in different directions. Get past them and enter the

the screen. Inside you will find a rocket guard, AMMO, and ---CARD 5---
. Grab those, exit the room, and head east. More rocket guards will
come. Run past them and use (F3) CARD 5 to enter the room. Once again a
rocket guard will greet you. Run past him and use (F3) CARD 5 to enter
the elevator. Take the elevator down to the first floor basement.

Once you exit the elevator you will see two guard dogs. Take them out

doors. Use (F3) CARD 5 to enter the door in the northwest corner of the
room. In here you will find a POW. Rescue him and exit the room. Use

that you are caught in a trap. He will reveal that Dr. Pettrovich is
really on the second floor. The floor will create a large hole. At this
time you will need to run away from the fake Dr. Pettrovich and to the
door. After the hole stops expanding, head through the open door on the
left side of the room. In here you will find ---CARD 6---. Take CARD 6
and exit the room. Head back out of the fake Dr. Pettrovich's room and
head south. Follow the path until you reach a door. Use (F3) CARD 5 to
enter the room. Inside you will find RATIONS on the desk. Stock up on

the west wall until you hear a strange tapping sound. Use (F2) a
PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE to destroy the wall. Head through the passageway. As

AMMO. After your finished stocking up, head back to the room where you
found CARD 6. Use (F3) CARD 6 to exit that room via the south door. On
this screen you will see a door on the west wall. Use (F3) CARD 6 to

*****BOSS FIGHT #6*****
Fire Trooper

Fire Trooper will stand by the elevator and fire his flamethrower at
you. Run up to behind him or right next to him and unload on him with
your HANDGUN. About ten shots should put an end to Flame Troopers
torching. You might need to use (F3) a RATION if you were touched by
his flame or him while running up to him.

Exit Fire Trooper's room and head east. Don't forget to use (F3) your
GAS MASK in the hall. Follow the path until you reach an open door.
Enter the open door and you will be in a room with a rolling pin, AMMO,
a RATION, and PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES. Grab those while avoiding the rolling
pin and exit the room. Head back to Fire Trooper's room and take the
elevator to the first floor. When you exit the elevator you will notice
that you are in the laser wall area. Use (F3) the INFRARED GOGGLES to
maneuver through the lasers and head right. On the next screen, head
south. Enter the water in this area and go around the shallow area to

will now be on the opposite side of the drainage system from earlier.
Kill the guard and use (F3) CARD 3 to open the door. Inside you will

drainage system. In this room you will see three guards. One will be on
the other side of the drainage system, one will be walking in front of
you, and the third will be near the door on the west wall. Kill the
guard in front of you and the one near the door. Use (F3) CARD 2 to
enter the door. In this room you will find a guard patrolling around
some crates. Kill him and grab the ---ANTENNA--- on the desk and you
will get a call (F4) from Big Boss. He will tell you that the
transceiver was jamming, but now it's ok. Exit the room and head east.
On this screen you will see two guards on your side of the drainage
system and one on the other side of the drainage system. Take out the
guards on your side of the drainage system and head up. Use (F3) CARD 5
to enter the door on the west wall. Inside you will find a POW. Rescue
him and he will tell you that the drainage system will lead you to
+++BUILDING THREE+++. Exit the room and head back to the elevator. Take
it to the second floor.

When you enter the second floor the guards will see you and sound the
alarm. Run past them and head south. On this screen, head right. You
will now be in a room with the seventh bosses of the game, the
Arnold's. It's not time to face them just yet. Run through the crates
in the middle of the room and use (F3) CARD 5 to enter the door on the
east wall. In here you will see three guards. Take out the one closest
to you and use (F3) CARD 3 to enter the room on the northwest part of
the screen. Inside will be a POW. Rescue him and he will tell you that
you can contact resistance member Jennifer on frequency 120.48. He says
that she is proud and might not answer. Exit the room and take out the
guards. Now call (F4) Jennifer at 120.48. If you don't have a four star
ranking, she won't answer you. If you rescued all the POWs that I told
you to rescue up to this point, then you shouldn't have a problem. She
will tell you that she can arrange a ===ROCKET LAUNCHER=== for you to
pickup. End the transmission and use (F3) CARD 6 to enter the door in
the northeast corner of the room. Inside you will find the ROCKET
LAUNCHER. Take the ROCKET LAUNCHER and head back to the room with the
Aronlds. When the Arnold in the north part of the room isn't looking,
use (F3) CARD 1 to enter the door in the northwest part of the room.
When you enter the door, guards will spot you. Run right down the path
and use (F3) CARD 6 to enter the room. Take out all the guards in the
room until the alarm stops and grab the ---ANTIDOTE--- on the desk.
Exit the room and head back to the Arnold's room. When the Arnold in
the south part of the room isn't looking, use (F3) CARD 1 to enter the
door in the southeast part of the room. Take out the guard in front of
you when you enter the room and head left. In this room you will see
four guards patrolling and an open door in the northwest section of the
room. Take out the four guards and enter the open door. In here you
will find three boxes of AMMO and two guards. Kill the guards, grab the
AMMO, and exit the room. Kill the guards again and head north. On this
screen, you will see three guards patrolling the area. Take them out
and head north again. Here you will need to use (F3) CARD 6 to enter
the room. In here you will find the real Dr. Pettrovich. He will tell
you that he is Dr. Pettrovich and that his daughter, Ellen, was taken
hostage. He says that he won't discuss Metal Gear unless you rescue his
daughter. Exit the room and head back to the room with the Arnolds.

*****BOSS FIGHT #7*****
Arnolds

The Arnolds are pretty easy to beat. Just stand in front of them and
launch four rockets at each of them. The only way they can touch you is
by running up and touching you. Use (F3) a RATION if needed during this
fight. After the fight is over, collect ---CARD 7--- that they leave
behind.

VII. Rescuing Ellen Pettrovich:
Your pretty close to the end of the game. This section is pretty short
and somewhat easy. Dr. Pettrovich will reveal an important piece of
information at the end of this section, so pay attention.

After the fight with the Arnolds, use (F3) CARD 2 to exit the room via
the door in the northeast corner. Kill the guard in front of you and
proceed east. This next room has three guards. Kill them and call (F4)
Jennifer at 120.48. She will tell you that she opened the door. The
door on the north wall will open. Enter the room and grab the ---
COMPASS---. Exit the room and head back to the room where you fought
the Arnolds. Use (F3) CARD 5 to enter the door in the southeast corner
of the room. In this room you will see three guards. Kill them and
enter the open door in the west part of the room. In here you will find
a POW. Rescue him and he will tell you that you must have a COMPASS to
get through the +++SCORPION DESERT+++. Exit the room and head right. On
this screen there will be a sleeping guard between the four crates.
Sneak past him and use (F3) CARD 5 to enter the door. In this room you
will see a rolling pin. Get past it and enter the elevator. Watch out
for the trap on the right side of the room. Take the elevator to the
first floor basement.

Kill the dogs in this room and exit the room. Schneider will contact
you here and warn you about the gas. Use (F3) and enter the door on the
left. Equip (F3) your GAS MASK and follow the path until you reach the
room with the trap. Use (F3) CARD 6 to enter the door on the south
wall. This next area has LOTS of traps so be careful. When you enter
the room, it will be dark. Diane will call (F4) you and tell you to
watch out for pitfalls. End the transmission and equip (F3) the
FLASHLIGHT. This screen is clear of traps, head down via the left path.
When you enter this screen, go left by the crates to avoid the trap.
Then quickly run down to the next screen to avoid the second trap. This
next screen is tricky. There is a trap in the top center of the screen.
Slowly walk towards it to activate it and step back. Another trap
connects to the southeast corner of that trap. Quickly move that way
and avoid the trap. Head down to the next screen. This screen isn't as
hard as the last. There are crates on all parts of this room except for
the south part. The north crates have two big boxes in the middle and
two small ones on the sides. Your first objective in this room is to
get on the south side of the north crates. The northeast corner of the
trap on the left connects with the southwest corner of the crates the
same way the two traps did on the last screen. Do the same thing as
last screen to get to the south side of that crate. Now position
yourself directly in front of the small crate on the right side and
head straight down to the next screen. This next screen, is a little
tricky, but easily avoidable. Stay on the west side of the box on the
right and head down and two steps to the right. Here you should be just
to the right of the small box and half in front of the door. The trap
on the right should have also activated, but it shouldn't have touched
you. Proceed down and use (F3) CARD 1 to enter the door.

You will now be in the first floor basement of BUILDING ONE. You will
see five guard dogs on this screen that will be alerted and run to
attack you. Take them out as they come and head south. Two more guard
dogs here. Take them out and use (F3) CARD 6 to enter the room on the
east side of the screen. Inside you will see nothing, but someone will
say, "HELP ME!". Precede right along the wall and north along the east
wall until you reach the middle of it. You will then hear someone say,
"HELP ME!" again. Punch the north part of the east wall until you hear
that strange tapping sound. Use (F2) a PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE to blow open
the wall and enter the room. Inside you will find Ellen Pettrovich.
Rescue her and she will thank you and tell you that she is the daughter
of Dr. Pettrovich. She will tell you that her father was forced to
create Metal Gear. She will tell you to help her father. Exit the
confinement cells (remember to stay on the wall while exiting the
room). Use (F3) CARD 6 to exit through the door on the south wall. You
will now be In the area outside of the confinement cell where you
rescued Grey Fox earlier. Move through this room and through the room
where you fought Shoot Gunner earlier in the game. When you get to the
spiral room, use (F3) CARD 4 to enter the door on the south wall.
Inside you will find the ---BODY ARMOR---. Take it and exit the room.
From here you must head back to Dr. Pettrovich. There are two paths you
can take to make it back there. You can either go through the DESERT
again or go back through the trap screens again. Whichever you choose
is up to you. If you go through the DESERT, remember to use (F3) your
MINE DETECTOR to avoid the MINES. When you reach Dr. Pettrovich, he
will tell you that Metal Gear is in the 100th floor basement of
BUILDING THREE. He will tell you that the only way to destroy Metal
Gear is to attach PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES to his feet. He will tell you that
you need to attach them to his feet in this order: R, R, L, R, L, L, R,
L, L, R, R, L, R, L, R... He says that he forgot the last one (it's R).
He will then talk about the Arnold's and stuff you've already done.
After the conversation, exit the room and take the elevator down to the
first floor.

VIII. Ambushed:
Once on the first floor, you will see two guards firing at you in a
room with crates. Kill them and exit the room. The next room is empty
so exit the room via the door on the west wall. Once here, head north.
Kill the guards here and enter the water. Swim to the other side of the
shallow water and head east. On the next screen, head north until you
can't go any further and get on the dry land. Head south. Take out the
guard here and head west. There's another guard on this screen, kill
him and head up. Use (F3) CARD 6 to enter the room on the right wall.
In here you will find PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES. Stock up on those and head
back to where you got on land. Head north from here. Use (F3) CARD 7 to
exit BUILDING TWO. You will now be in the SCORPION DESERT. The
scorpions will run towards you when you enter the desert. If they sting
you, your life will gradually drain. Use (F3) the ANTIDOTE to cure
yourself of the poison. Equip (F3) yourself with the COMPASS and head
north. You will have to go through several screens of scorpions. Kill
them or run past them. Use (F3) a RATION if need. Keep going until you
reach the trucks and the door. Several guards will come out of the
trucks and ambush you. Then Big Boss will call (F4) you. He will tell
you to enter the truck on the far right. Don't listen to him! There are
only two trucks that you need to enter, the center truck on the left
and the truck near the door on the right. Inside those trucks you will
find AMMO. Only enter the truck on the right if you really need AMMO as
four guards guard it. When your done there, use (F3) CARD 7 to enter
BUILDING THREE.

You will be ambushed once again by four guards (it seems that someone
from your side is leaking your location to the enemy... Big Boss will
contact you and tell you to enter the door on the left. Use (F3) CARD 1
to enter it to get the guards off your tail, but DON'T MOVE when you
enter this room as it is a trap. Exit the room and use (F2) a PLASTIC
EXPLOSIVE on the right side of the north wall. Hug the right wall and
head north. This room has several traps on your way to the elevator.
Stay on the right wall and head up until you reach the boxes. Now head
left and up at the corner of the box. That will keep you out of the way
of the first trap. Now head on the top of the first trap all the way
until you pass the elevator. Now head north and right to enter the
elevator. Now take the elevator down, down, down to the 100th floor
basement and exit the elevator. This room will have two cameras on the
north wall. They are easy to avoid if you hide behind the wall in the
center of the room. Jennifer (F4) will call you and tell you that there
is an ---OXYGEN TANK--- beyond the wall. Use (F2) a PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE
to blow open the wall in front of the wall in the center of the room.
Grab the OXYGEN TANK and head back up to the first floor and back to
BUILDING TWO. Don't forget to use your (F3) COMPASS in the SCORPION
DESERT.

When you're back at BUILDING TWO, head right. Now equip (F3) your
OXYGEN TANK and swim north. Keep swimming north until you come to
shallow water. Get out of the water; avoid the guards, and head north
(head north directly in front of where you got out of the water). On
this screen you will see an electrified floor. Use (F2) your REMOTE-
CONTROLLED MISSLES to destroy the control panel next to the door on the
left. Enter the door on the left using (F3) CARD 1. Inside you will
find two boxes of AMMO. Schneider will call (F4) you. He will tell you
that the person in charge of Outer Heaven is... The transmission gets
cut off before he can tell you. Take the AMMO and exit the room. Use
(F3) CARD 7 to enter the door on the right. In here you will find the
eighth boss of the game, Coward Duck.

*****BOSS FIGHT #8*****
Coward Duck

At the start of the fight, you will get a call (F4) from Jennifer. She
will tell you that Coward Duck has ---CARD 8---. She will also tell you
that her brother is among one of the captives so don't kill and of the
POWs. After the transmission, head north along the left wall. Now head
up hugging the boxes and rescue the POW on the left. Now use(F2) you
HANDGUN to kill Coward Duck. 10 shots should do it with ease. After the
fight, grab CARD 8 that Coward Duck leaves. Rescue the POW on the right
and the POW in the center, who is Jennifer's brother. When you rescue
him, he will tell you that he is Jennifer's brother. He will tell you
that when escaping from Outer Heaven; use the ladder on the left. Keep
that in mind and exit the room.

IX. The Traitor:
Now that you have all eight CARDS, you have access to any area in the
game. First you will need to stock up on AMMO, PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES, and
as many RATIONS as you can carry. You can stock up on AMMO in the room
next to the Coward Duck room. You can find PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES in the
room before you exit BUILDING TWO and you can find RATIONS in the first
floor basement of BUILDING TWO. Stock up on as many of each as you can
carry and head back to the 100th floor basement of BUILDING THREE. As
soon as you arrive at the 100th floor basement, avoid the cameras and
use (F3) CARD 8 to enter the door on the right wall. Don't worry too
much about the camera seeing you. All it will do is fire a laser at
you, it won't alert the guards. Enter the room and rescue the POW. He
will tell you that the leader of Outer Heaven is none other
than.....................the Commander-in-Chief of FOX-HOUND, Big Boss!
Exit the room and head west. Big Boss will call (F4) you and tell you
to stop the operation at once! He will tell you to switch off your MSX.
Ignore him of course. This screen has one camera on each of the walls
facing south. Run past them and use (F3) CARD 8 to enter the door on
the north wall. Equip (F3) your GAS MASK and head up to the northeast
part of the room. Punch the wall until you hear that strange tapping
sound. Use (F2) a PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE to blow up the wall. Head through
the passage to enter the next room. Head along the left wall of the
room until you reach the door. Use (F3) CARD 1 to enter. This room has
MINES and gas. Equip (F3) you MINE DETECTOR and quickly move through
the room. Use (F3) CARD 1 to enter the door. This room has an electric
floor with no switch. Jennifer will call (F4) you and tell you that you
must run through it as quick as you can. Run through it as quick as you
can and enter the open door on the north wall. Before entering the
door, heal yourself with a RATION. Through the door is the ninth boss
of the game, Metal Gear.

*****BOSS FIHGT #9*****
Metal Gear

To defeat Metal Gear, you must use (F2) PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES and the
order that Dr. Pettrovich gave you earlier. Put the PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES
on his feet in the order R, R, L, R, L, L, R, L, L, R, R, L, R, L, R,
R. The cameras move back and forth along the wall firing lasers at you
when they see you. Use (F3) RATIONS to heal you when needed.

When you place all 16 PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES in the correct place, Metal
Gear will explode taking the two cameras with it and setting off the
Outer Heaven self-destruct system. A timer will appear on the bottom of
the screen and an emergency message will appear in a text box. The door
to your left will then open. Heal yourself with a RATION (F3). Enter
the door to fight your final battle.

*****BOSS FIGHT #10*****
Big Boss

Big Boss will tell you that you were sent here to get false information
on Metal Gear, but you accomplished too much. He will tell you that you
have crushed his ambitions. He will then say that he will not die alone
and that you are coming with him. Diane then calls (F4) you and tell
you that she doesn't know how to defeat Big Boss. She then attempts to
say she loves Solid Snake, but then says that it was nothing. The fight
begins. You must use (F2) your ROCKET LAUNCHER to defeat Big Boss. 5-10
hits with the ROCKET LAUNCHER should take care of the traitor. Use the
crates for protection from his gunshots. The BODY ARMOR also comes in
handy for that too. Use (F3) a RATION or two if needed.

After the fight, smoke (F3) some CIGARETTES to give yourself more time
to escape. The door on the north wall will open. Enter the door. There
will be three ladders. Climb the one on the left like Jennifer's
brother told you to do earlier. Climb up to the surface and it will cut
to a scene where Solid Snake is running away from Outer Heaven just as
it explodes. Solid Snake then calls Big Boss's frequency and says that
Metal Gear was destroyed and Operation Intrude N313 was a success. He
then tunes into a radio station and they saw that there was a large
explosion at Outer Heaven around midnight. The credits will then role
and the screen will fade to black. It will then display a text box with
Big Boss saying that it's not over yet and he'll meet Snake again
someday.

Fire Trooper was an Outer Heaven mercenary who fought against Solid Snake during Operation Intrude N313.

Fire Trooper engaged Solid Snake while in the basement of Outer Heaven, guarding the elevator to the rooftops.

Machinegun Kid was a member of the Outer Heaven mercenary force, and the second professional mercenary to face Solid Snake on his first mission.

He left the SAS and became a mercenary for hire. He was then contracted by the mercenary nation Outer Heaven, which he quickly joined and was appointed a high-ranking guard position due to his skill with an assault rifle.

During Operation Intrude N313, Machinegun Kid encountered Snake while guarding the corridors of Building 1. Despite his impressive skills with his assault rifle, Snake was able to out think Machinegun Kid, using the rooms large walls and fixtures as cover from his fire, and ultimately defeated him.

Shotmaker, along with several guard dogs, was the only guard placed in the prison; a testament to his ferocity.

After being purposefully captured by Outer Heaven's guards in order to find the missing FOXHOUND agent Gray Fox, Solid Snake escaped his captivity and was immediately assaulted by Shotmaker. Although Snake was stripped of all of his weapons and gear, he contacted FOXHOUND commander Big Boss and was able to break down a locked door to retrieve his belongings. After being refitted with his weapons, Snake was able to take down Shotmaker using the prison's layout of crates and boxes for cover, and infiltrate deeper into Outer Heaven.
