A small, but powerfully armed nation called “Outer Heaven” emerges from deep within South Africa. NATO learns that they are designing a nuclear-equipped walking battle tank called “Metal Gear”, and they send in one of their best agents, Gray Fox. But, he is taken hostage, and they are forced to send in the newest member of FOXHOUND, Solid Snake. He rescues Gray Fox and forces the surrender of Outer Heaven. As Solid Snake escapes, he is confronted by one man. It’s FOXHOUND’s commander, Big Boss! It seems that Outer Heaven was a mercenary company and Big Boss was the mastermind behind it. Big Boss had intentionally chosen the most inexperienced agent, Solid Snake, thinking he would fail, but he seriously miscalculated. After a fierce battle, Snake defeats Big Boss as Outer Heaven burns around him.
