A crack government anti-terrorist squad takes over an obscure Alaskan nuclear disposal facility with the aid of an army of genetically-modified 'genome soldiers'. They have threatened to launch a nuclear missile if the US government does not hand over the preserved body of 'Big Boss', the greatest soldier that ever lived. The only person who can successfully infiltrate the facility, rescue the two hostages and thwart the terrorists' plans is the legendary Solid Snake - you.
The nuclear waste disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island, in Alaska's Fox Archipelago, has been taken over in a raid by Next Generation Special Forces, being led my members of FOX-HOUND. Solid Snake, former member of FOX-HOUND, has two missions objectives. First, he must rescue the DARPA Chief Donald Anderson, and ArmsTech President Kenneth Baker. Both are being held as hostages. Secondly, he must investigate whether or not the terrorists have the ability to launch a nuclear weapon. There are six FOX-HOUND members involved in this exercise: Psycho Mantis, with his psychic powers; Sniper Wolf, the beautiful and deadly sharpshooter; Decoy Octopus, master of disguise; Vulcan Raven, giant and shaman, Revolver Ocelot, a master of interrogation, and a formidable gunfighter. And lastly, the leader of the FOX-HOUND squadron: Liquid Snake.
You take on the role of Solid Snake: a relatively young, retired soldier from an elite government team known as Foxhound. When some of Foxhound's top operatives form a terrorist organization and gain control of a secret genome army of Next-Generation Special Forces (rogue U.S. troops participating in rebellion), take over the nuclear weapons facility on Shadow Moses Island and threaten the United States government with a nuclear attack wave from the ultimate killing machine (the nuclear-equipped walking battle tank, Metal Gear Rex) Snake's former commander, Colonel Roy Campbell (ret.), sends armed soldiers to Snake's peaceful Alaskan home, drags him to a secret base, and puts the whole situation in his hands. Snake's mission is to rescue the D.A.R.P.A. Chief and the President of ArmsTech Inc., then stop the entire terrorist force from launching a nuclear weapon. He begins armed with a pair of binoculars and a pack of cigarettes, and has nineteen hours to bring down the terrorists and save the nation.

Metal Gear Solid trivia...
-You can manipulate the colors of the Title Screen by moving the direction arrows and fooling around with the analog sticks
-During the battle with Psycho Mantis if you go into First Person mode, you'll actually see the game through his eyes.
-When you first discover Meryl in the Prison cell, there are four different positions she can be in. All involve her doing some sort of exercise
-When Meryl attacks the guard near the beginning of the game and takes his clothing off, in the Japanese version you can see the guard knocked-out in his underwear, while in the American version his 'butt' is blurred.
-The first names of Otacon and Solid Snake are Hal and Dave (David), the same names of the computer and the principal character in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). The chief of Foxhound's medical staff is Dr. Naomi Hunter, this was also the name of one of the scientists in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). The submarine that Snake is launched from is the Discovery - the name of the ship in 2001. Dave was also the first name of Meryl's partner in Policenauts (1994) which was one of Kojima's previous games. The character of Meryl Silverburgh appeared in both games, although neither game are actually related by plot.
-Meryl shares her name with a character from Kojima's earlier game Policenauts.
-If you reach the last stall of the women's bathroom in less than five seconds after Meryl runs into the bathroom, she won't be wearing any pants in the next scene.
-43 hidden "ghosts" of people who worked on the game can be found by taking pictures at specific locations. Some examples are: Hideo Kojima, Yoji Shinkawa, Tomokazu Fukushima, Motoyuki Yoshioka, Scott Dolph, So Toyota, Yoshikazu Matsuhana and Kazunobu Uehara.
-The production team came up with the principal designs of the game's areas by building miniatures out of Lego.
-Most of the American voice actors used aliases because they were not sure if the project was Union-sponsored or not.
-The PlayStation version of this game has sold 6.6 million copies worldwide.
-The Japanese version included a hidden message from Kojima during the Psycho Mantis battle that could only be unlocked with a memory card containing Snatcher and Policenauts save data.
-The character of Hal Emmerich was named after Roland Emmerich, one of Hideo Kojima's favorite directors.
-Hal Emmerich was originally conceived by Kojima to be a fat man who eats a lot of chocolate. It was character designer Yoji Shinkawa's idea to make him thin.
-Yoji Shinkawa originally envisioned Meryl as a preteen girl similar to Natalie Portman's character, Matilda, in Léon (1994). However, when Shinkawa read script and realized that Meryl wielded a Desert Eagle pistol, he couldn't imagine a young girl holding such a large gun and redesigned her as an adult.
-According to character designer Yoji Shinkawa, Mei Ling was modeled after the image of actress Shinobu Nakayama.
-According to an interview with Hideo Kojima, Solid Snake was designed after Christopher Walken's face with Jean-Claudde Van-Damme's physique.
