So, what's Twin Snakes? Well, most of you reading this probably know of
Metal Gear Solid, huh? This would be a remake of that game, for the
Gamecube, made with modern graphics, and adding the gameplay style of Metal
Gear Solid 2, such as lockers, and hanging mode, as well as the most useful
change, the addition of the first person mode shooting.

Now, just the name of Metal Gear Solid, implies two things. One, that the
game is going to be awesome, and two, that many FAQs and Walkthroughs are
going to be made for it. So, what's the point of another FAQ for it? What
will this FAQ have that the others don't? Probably not muc. In fact, the
truth is, that I'm mainly doing this, jsut for the hell of it, and because
I love the Metal Gear Solid games. Although, I'm sure this will help at
least someone who's stuck on the game.

As for this FAQ, I have a few more things to say. First of all, it was
written, while the game was being played through, on normal mode, and I've
checked, and confirmed that many details changed for other difficulties,
although, the main concepts will be the same, so the FAQ should still help
you through most of the game.

One last thing: As you know, this is a FAQ/Walkthrough. There will be
spoilers, in this document, that's just a given, and since Metal Gear Solid
is larely story based, I'm telling you now, if you want to keep the story
of this game a surprise, don't read anymore. Now, let's get on with it!

03A. METAL GEAR [STR1]
============================================================================
The year 1995. Deep in South Africa, 200 km south of Garzburg. Outer Heaven
- an armed fortress nation established by a legendary mercenary. He was
feared in combat by both his friends and foes as a hero and a lunatic. The
Western nations had found out that a weapon of mass destruction capable of
rewriting war history was under development at Outer Heaven. They called
upn the high-tech special foces unit FOXHOUND to take care of the situation.

In response to this order, Big Boss, commander-in-chief of FOXHOUND, sent
Gray Fox, the man with the code name "FOX", a name given to the best member
of the unit. "Operation Intrude N313"... After a few days, Grat Fox was
missing in action, his last message being "Metal Gear..." Taking the
situation seriously, the top men of the West again called for FOXHOUND. Big
Boss selected agent Solid Snake, who had just recently joined FOXHOUND, and
entrusted everything to him.

Successfully making a solo infiltration to Outer Heaven, Snake got in touch
with local resistance members Schneider, Diane, and Jennifer. With their
cooperation, Snake succeeded in rescuing Gray Fox. Gray Fox then laid out
the terrifying facts about Metal Gear. Metal Gear was the development name
of a nuclear-warhead-equipped, two-legged walking tank. It could walk
through even the roughest terrains that would stop normal tanks. It could
conduct local warfare by itself with unique weapons like its Vulcan cannon
and anitank missiles. It was indeed a new type of weapon that could conduct
a nuclear attack against any place on the face of the earth from any land
surface...

With Metal Gear, Outer Heaven was trying to establish its Military
superiority over the entire world. In order to destroy Metal Gear, Snake
rescued Metal Gear's chief engineer Dr. Pettrovich and his daughter Elen,
who was taken hostage to force her father to continue with his development.

Snake heard from Dr. Pettrovich how to destroy Metal Gear. However, as
Snake approached the heart of Outer Heaven and Metal Gear, well-designed
traps were set all around Snake - As if all his actions were being leaked to
the enemy... In the midst of the escalating battle, the leader of the
resistence, Schneider, fell into the hands of the enemy, and Snake himself
was injured through deadly battles with Outer Heaven's best mercenaries.

But Snake's indomitable spirit lead him to the 100th-floor basemen of the
secret base where Metal Gear was developed. Evading the powerful defence
system that had wiped out all other intruders, Snake ultimately succeeded in
destroying Metal Gear.

Snake tried to escape from Outer Heaven upon completing the misison.
However, during the escape, he was confronted by one man - FOXHOUND
Commander Big Boss. Big Boss laughed at the astounded Snake and told him the
truth about his mission. While serving as the commander of FOXHOUND, Big
Boss also ran a mercanary dispatch company utilizing his connections and
capital from his years as a merc. He was planning to build this company a
larger military establishment, and he built Outer Heaven as its base. His
purpose for sending the rookie Snake to Outer Heaven was to cause
information confusion in the West.

However, Big Boss miscalculated: He never thought that Snake would make it
this far... Having lost Metal Gear, Big Boss activated the self-destruction
system of the underground base. While the countdown to destruction continued
his scream echoed in the emptiness. "You have gone too far. Too far!"

In the 100th-floor basement, the battle between two men commenced - Free of
idealogy and politics... The armed fortress nation, Outer Heaven, collapsed.
The impenetrable fortress, made from the best military technology and
occupied by the toughest mercenaries, burned in flames. Behind him, the
flames reached skyward, as Outer Heaven fell, leaving Solid Snake all alone.

03B. METAL GEAR 2: SOLID SNAKE [STR2]
============================================================================

1999. The world was facing an energy crisis. It was obvious that the supply
of petroleum would run out faster than expected. However, the development of
an alternate energy resource was far from completion. The price of petroleum
skyrocketed, and the world economy was in confusion. The 21st century was
expected to be one of chaos.

One man's invention changed the entire situation. A Czech genuis and
biologist, Dr. Kio MArv, invented "OILIX," a microorgranism that refines
petroleum to produce a highly purifed form of petroleum. The world was
filled with hope upon the discovery of this messiah to solve the energy
crisis, but at the same time the world entred a time of tension reguarding
this new algae.

Just when the whole world's attention was drawn to OILIX and Dr. Marv, he
was abducted by someone and disappeared. Nations began investigations
immediately, and a name soon appeared... "Zanzibar Land." Zanzibar Land was
a democratic military regime that suddenly appeared in Central Asia in 1997.

When their uprising took place, the CIS army, formed around Russia, sent a
suppressive unit immediately. Zanzibar Land resisted by gathering a band of
mercenaries from nations around the world and fortifying most of its land.
As a result, the CIS army was repeatedly defeated, and Zanzibar Land
declared its independance.

Due to the active role mercenaries played, this war was called The
Mercenary War, and Zanzibar Land was referred to as an armed fortress nation.
A military nation with a group of strong mercenaries, surrounded by a tough
fortress... According to the latest information, Zanzibar supposedly was
armed with nuclear weapons. The whole scenario was crystal clear. By
obtaining OILIX in addition to nuclear weapons, Zanzibar Land was trying to
establish its economic and military superiority over the entire world.

Concerned about the situation, the Unite States ordered Roy Campbell,
commander of high-tech Special Forces Unit FOXHOUND, to rescue Dr. Marv.
Campbell was a former member of FOXHOUND. He brought back Solid Snake, the
man who single-handedly brought down the armed fortress nation of Outer
Heaven four years before, and asked Snake to bring back both Dr. Marv and
OILIX.

Successfully infiltrating Zanzibar Land, snd with the help of CIA agent
