THE OUTER HEAVEN UPRISING
FROM METAL GEAR (RELEASED 1987)
FOXHOUND operator Solid Snake infiltrates Outer Heaven, a fortress-nation deep in the heart of South Africa, and destroys their prototype weapon Metal Gear, a walking tank with nuclear capability. In the process, he discovers that the Leader of Outer Heaven is none other than Big Boss, the supreme commander of FOXHOUND, and puts an end to his former comrade’s twisted schemes.
THE ZANZIBAR LAND DISTURBANCE
FROM METAL GEAR 2: SOLID SNAKE (RELEASED 1990)
After surviving the Outer Heaven incident, Big Boss escapes to Zanzibar Land and sets up an independent military regime with the hope of creating a world of strife, the only kind of world a bon soldier can truly enjoy. At the request of FOXHOUND, Solid Snake infiltrates Zanzibar Land and again destroys Metal Gear, which had been transferred to Zanzibar Land following the collapse of Outer Heaven. He triumphs once again in a final, decisive battle with Big Boss and ensures the downfall of Zanzibar Land.
THE DAWN OF THE 21st CENTURY—
The nuclear weapons disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island in Alaska’s Fox Archipelago was being used to train the next generation special forces unit FOXHOUND when the unit suddenly revolted and captured the island.
The terrorists have secured hundreds of nuclear warheads and are demanding that the government turn over the remains of Big Boss. They warn that if their demands are not met within 24 hours, they’ll launch a nuclear weapon.
Solid Snake is once again called back to duty in a top-secret mission to deal with the greatest terrorist threat the world has ever seen.
First, he must single-handedly infiltrate the nuclear weapons disposal site and rescue two hostages, DARPA Chief Donald Anderson and the President of ArmsTech, Kenneth Baker, and then eliminate the terrorist threat and prevent a nuclear launch.
With just 24 hours left, the clock is already ticking.
Once again, Snake heads into battle…alone.

MISSIONS/HELIPORT WALKTHROUGH

MISSIONS
OPENING WALKTHROUG : ENTRY DOCK

Crawl into spaces that cannot be accessed normally.
Press the Crouch button to crouch down and push the Control Stick (+Control Pad) to crawl. Press the Crouch button again to stand up. EQUIP RATIONS
Snake is on a solo mission and must procure weapons and equipment on site. Make sure you don’t miss any Ttem Boxes. One of the most important items found in an Item Box is the ration. If rations are equipped, they will automatically be used when the Life Gauge becomes low. Be sure to equip them when entering into unfamiliar territory.

Press the Crouch button to hide under the surface of the water. The enemy won’t enter the water, but they stil might shoot at you, so move out into deeper water for safety.
MOVE QUIETLY
There are puddles in certain places, and running through them will make a sound that might alert the enemy to your presence. Be sure to walk or crawl over puddles for minimal noise.
THE ELEVATOR TAKES TIME
The objective for the entry dock area is to ride the elevator without being seen. However, the elevator will take some time to come back down. Stay hidden until it arrives back at the dock level. Hiding in a locker is a good idea. Just make sure you are not seen entering or leaving the locker.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE RADAR
The radar shows more than just the positions of the enemy. It lso shows the enemy’s field of vision. Use the radar to make sure you do not enter those fields. As long as you stay out of their vision, you can sneak right behind their backs. WATCH THE SHADOWS
Be careful of your shadow and the enemy’s shadow cast on the floor. When hidden around a corner, your shadow can still alert the enemy.
USE THE CODEC FOR HELP
If you run into trouble, press START/PAUSE and the A Button to enter Codec mode. Important information about progressing through the game can be gained by using the Codec. Get familiar with each contact’s specialty to use the Codec effectively. HELIPORT WALKTHROUGH

There is an Item Box on the heliport that contains Chaff Grenades. Study the movement of the searchlights and pick up the Item Box without being seen.
WATCH OUT FOR THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA
An Item Box containing Stun Grenades and a surveillance camera can be found in the warehouse. The area directly below the camera is a blind spot.
Flatten against the wall to move past it safely. The camera can also be bypassed by using a Chaff Grenade.
GET THE SOCOM
The Socom semi-automatic pistol can be found in the cargo area of the dock. Press the Weapon button to draw the gun and it will lock-on to enemies.
WATCH YOUR FOOTPRINTS
Walking on snow will leave footprints, which might alert enemy soldiers. Crawl over the snow to avoid arousing suspicion.
THE OBJECTIVE
The objective at the heliport is to enter one of the two ventilation ducts. Both ducts are down low, so crouch down to crawl into the duct.
SLEEPING GUARD
The soldier guarding the area near the first floor duct occasionally dozes off. Do not overlook the security camera when approaching. Make a noise to lure the soldier away. IF you are seen, the soldier will not fall asleep again.
