Hello and Welcome to My Metal Gear Webpage
Article By: Jeff Reimers - jeff@psx2.com THE STORY OF METAL GEAR Metal Gear - 1995 200 km north of Salzburg, deep in South Africa. Outer Heaven... An armed fortress was taken control of in the late 1990s by a mercenary named General Vernon CaTaffy... Top secret information was intercepted... Inside the fortress a weapon would lie. A weapon that could change the face of earth warfare as we knew it... Orders were sent to the hi-tech informal squad FOXHOUND, and Command sent a mech named "Grey Fox," to infiltrate and acquire more information about the weapon. The operation was given the codename: "INTRUDE N313". However, a few days later, contact with Grey Fox was broken after an urgent but short message, "...metal gear..." Government superiors found this crucial, and again ordered FOXHOUND into action, leaving all their hopes in the mercenary, "Solid Snake". Snake single-handedly snuck into Outer Heaven, contacting resistance members such as Schneider, Jennifer and Diane. With their help, he rescued the captive Grey Fox. He learned from Fox about the nuclear-mounted heavy walking tank called, "Metal Gear". Outer Heaven was going to win military superiority using this "Metal Gear." Snake rescued an Eastern scientist, Dr. Petrovich Madnar, who was the developer of Metal Gear. Madnar was kidnapped by the enemy and was being used to reform their base with modern technology. Snake also rescued the doctor's daughter Ellen, and from Petrovich, he learned the weaknesses of Metal Gear, and how to destroy it. However, the closer Snake came to finding out the vital truth of the whole operation, the more cunning were the traps he had to overcome. It was as if all his actions were being leaked into enemy acknowledgment... Schneider, who was the leader of the resistance, fell into enemy hands. Snake, vows to avenge Schnieder's death against the enemy. Finally, Snake reached the Metal Gear and destroyed it... Surprisingly, the general commander of FOXHOUND was waiting for him... The man responsible for mission N313 was Big Boss. From the very beginning, Big Boss used Snake as a pawn for his own evil deeds. He had jammed all vital information that Snake had sent to FOXHOUND. They knew nothing! Big Boss had controlled Outer Heaven under the alias of "Vernon CaTaffy" in order to trick FOXHOUND. In the 100th floor underground, with no dogmas nor policies involved, a battle between the two men raged... And Snake left only the smoldering remains of Outer Heaven behind him. Snake's Revenge- Somewhere between 1995 and 1999 Snake is called into action once again... This time, a man by the name of Higharolla Kockamamie has captured a large sum of nuclear weapons. He plans on using them to take control of the world. Snake suspects that Kockamamie may be another Big Boss alias. He has a sneaking suspicion that Big Boss survived the Outer Heaven encounter. He gathers a huge army, like never before seen, to guard his "Fortress Fanatic." FOXHOUND, now under the command of Roy Cambell, sends Snake and two comrades. John Turner,(J.T.) of the Air Forces super-secretive intelligence and Commando Nick "La Bomba" Myer, the explosives expert and leader of the Nitroglycerin Division at FOXHOUND. They invade the Fortress Fanatic and defeat Kockamamie. Unfortunately, for Snake, Big Boss is not involved in this terrorist activity. They destroy the second Metal Gear threat. Sometime after this, Snake leaves FOXHOUND for an early retirement. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake - 1999 With the frigid relationships between USA and Russia and China and Russia thawing, the nations lead to the settling down of local conflicts, and the world is finally beginning to neutralize. It is 1999, the nuclear threat of this century is leaving us, and we are ready to welcome the new stable 21st century. However, a fraction of the populace does not accept this peace... In the Middle East, a breeze of unstableness is blowing. Zanzibar Land, a small republic just next to Russia, China and the Arab nations, founds a military government. It raids "Nuclear Arms for Disposal Storage" sites around the world and robs weapons that were still not disposed of, making it the sole nuclear-armed nation in the world, and begins non-discriminate invasions of nearby countries. In a world which disposes of nuclear employment, Zanzibar Land's nuclear power is becoming a real emergency. A nuclear threat is budding once again. At the same time, oil resources are quickly growing scarce. Despite the foretelling that they would last more than 30 years, the world is facing a serious energy source crisis with no alternative supply to oil. Then, a Czech biologist named Kio Marv invents a micro specimen - "OILIX", which rectifies high-quality oil. The world is once again in a tension regarding "OILIX". Dr. Marv is kidnapped by Zanzibarian radicals on his trip from Czechoslovakia to America. Zanzibar Land is trying to gain its military superiority through nuclear arms and "OILIX". ...A microorganism the size of a few micrometers is going to decide the fate of the world. A top-secret order goes down to Solid Snake, former FOXHOUND agent: "Single-handedly sneak into Zanzibar Land, and rescue Dr. Kio Marv!" Snake must now rescue the doctor and take out a new, more powerful Metal Gear. Snake single-handedly sneaks into Zanzibar and runs across and old "friend." Big Boss is back and he has brought a new Metal Gear with him. Boss, this time showing fear from Snake leaves him to deal with Metal Gear and the remaining Zanzibarian troops. Snake destroys the Metal Gear and narrowly escapes the exploding Zanzibarian fortress via helicopter. It is unknown whether or not Big Boss survived this encounter as well. He is victorious once more and decides on a normal life, one away from the military... He retires to a far away cabin near the Twin Lakes area of the Alaskan mountains. Here he learns that he is suffering Post-Tramatic-Stress-Disorder (PTSD) as a result of his recent missions. This results in flashbacks and other mental anguish. Because of this, Snake gets into husky racing in order to limit his condition. Snake is preparing for a 1049 mile sleigh race between Anchorage and Nome when he get's a call from former FOXHOUND commander, Roy Cambell...
