*****************
*1. Introduction*
*****************
Welcome to my FAQ/Walkthrough for Metal Gear. I decided to write this guide
because it's an AWESOME part of one of the best gaming series EVER, and because
no one has written a detailed guide for this game yet and someone requested
it. Other games I recommend playing either before or after this game are Metal
Gear 2: Solid Snake(MSX Computer), Snake's Revenge(NES), Metal Gear
Solid(PSX and PC), Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions(PSX and PC), Metal Gear:
Ghost Babel(GBC), Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty(PS2), Metal Gear Solid
2 Substance(PS2, PC, and X-Box), and coming soon Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake
Eater(PS2).

***NOTE***
Due to the fact that the story in this game ridiculous, has little bearing
on the Metal Gear series, and since it Hideo Kojima refuses to acknowledge
this version of the game as an official part of the Metal Gear series, I will
alter some parts of it to more closely follow that of Metal Gear for MSX,
the TRUE first installment of the Metal Gear series. Also note that I modified
this guide from the MSX version to the NES version. I had to redo most of
this guide and it got a little messy in some parts so please e-mail me if
you find any major errors in it.

I. Solid Snake's Entrance:
You (Solid Snake) start off by landing in the +++JUNGLE+++ outside of Outer
Heaven. Snake receives a call from the commander-in-chief of FOX-HOUND, Big
Boss. He tells you that your mission is to infiltrate the terrorist fortress
Outer Heaven and destroy the ultimate weapon, Metal Gear. He will tell you
that your first objective is to search for the missing FOX-HOUND operative
Grey Fox and search for Metal Gear. He will tell you that if you need any
help to contact him at transceiver frequency 120.85. Make a note of that and
end the transmission. When you start the game, head to your right. Knock out
the guard beside the truck and head south. On this screen you will see three
dogs. Run down the center of the screen and take the right path down and onto
the next screen. Run past the dog here as well. You might have taken some
damage from the dogs, but don't worry, you'll get it back soon enough. Run
up next to the guard here and quickly punch him. Inside the truck you will
get ---BINOCULARS---. Prepare to quickly run down as soon as you exit the
truck and onto the next screen. You will see two guards here. Wait until each
of them turns away from you and punch them out. Continue south. Punch the
sleeping dog and head south again. Pick a guard, punch him out, and head down.
More guards, you know what to do. Enter the top truck to get ---CARD 1---.
Exit the truck and the guards will immediately come towards you. Take them
out and enter the lower truck. The truck have started to move. Once the truck
stops "having" moved, exit it and then enter the truck on the left side of
the screen. Grab the RATIONS and exit. Enter again if you want more RATIONS.
Three is the maximum you can get at this time. Once you exit, the guard will
attack you. Run and enter the truck on the right. Once you get out, enter
the one right below you. Exit and go down two screens. Enter the top truck
to get the ===PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE===. Head down to the southern most truck to
get ---CARD 4---. Exit and enter the middle truck to be transported again.
Defeat the guards here or run from them and enter the truck on the right.
Exit the truck and grab RATIONS from the truck on the left if needed. Knock
out the guard and enter +++BUILDING ONE+++. Now go to the right and up to
the next screen. Knock out the guard on this screen and use CARD 1 to enter
the room. The guard will see you when you enter. Run up, kill him, and grab
the ---GAS MASK--- on the table. Exit the room and punch out the guard in
front of you in this room. From here, head left along the north wall until
you get to a screen with three guards and Big Boss calls you. Answer the call
and he will tell you that your job is to infiltrate and blah, blah, blah.
In fact, I just wouldn't answer it to spare yourself the trouble of having
to listen to it. Head north along the right path. When a hole in the ground
starts to open, go to your transceiver. When you exit the screen, the hole
will be gone. Head east from here. On this screen you'll find three trucks
Enter the truck on the left to find the ===HANDGUN===. Don't try to use it
just yet as you don't have and ==-AMMO-== for it yet. Exit the truck and enter
the one on the right to grab the ===MINES===. Exit the truck and head back
to the screen with the elevator. Walk along the top part of the wall and enter
the elevator using CARD 1. Take the elevator to the third floor.

Here you'll see two cameras in this room. One on the west wall and one on
the north side of the square in the middle of the room. Sneak past the cameras
and head down on the far left wall. Avoid the two guards in this area and
go in the door on the left. In here you will find some AMMO. Use CARD 1 to
enter the door on the south wall. In here, you will find a POW tied to a chair.
Go over to him to release him. Now use CARD 1 to OPEN the door on the east
wall. Now equip your GAS MASK and enter the room. You will now receive a call
from Big Boss. He will tell you to put on your GAS MASK in the gas room (I
guess he's a little late on that one, huh). Make it through the gas room and
use CARD 1 to enter the passage in the southeast corner of the room. Enter
the open door. Wait for the rolling pin to go to the right side, and then
grab the PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES. Make your way back to the entrance then wait
for it to roll left before heading in the door on the right. Keep going right
to the next screen. On this screen, two guards will come down from the slots
on the north part of the room. Take them out by punching and proceed to the
next screen. Head down immediately in this room, around the boxes, and enter
the door on the right. Don't worry about the camera on your way in. In here,
go to the desk and grab ---CARD 2---. Exit the room and use CARD 2 to enter
the door on the left side of the room. In here you will find RATIONS. Exit
the room and head back to the room that was right after the gas room. Use
CARD 2 to enter the door in the northwest corner of the room. In here you
will find ===REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES===. Exit the room and then use CARD
1 on the south door to rescue the POW. He will tell you that a fellow
FOX-HOUNDER infiltrated Outer Heaven days ago and was captured, but he is
still alive. Head back to the screen with two cameras and two doors (one of
the doors was where you got CARD 2 at). From here, head up to the next screen.
Here you will see a flashing white floor and a control box on the other side
of the room. Big Boss will call you and tell you to use your REMOTE-CONTROLLED
MISSLES on the power box to turn off the high-voltage. Use your
REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES to destroy the control box. That will turn off the
electric floor and allow you to cross it to the next screen.


II. Captured on Purpose:
The first part of the game is now completed. You've also picked up about 25%
of your weapons up to this point. Well, enough of my talking, it's time to
move on to the second chapter of the first Metal Gear.

On this screen there will be two guards and a door on the east wall. Take
out the guard walking east and use CARD 1 to enter the door. In the room you
will find the third POW. Rescue him and he will tell you that resistance member
Diane will help you on frequency 120.33. Make a note of that and exit the
room. Head north to the next screen. On this screen you will see an elevator
guarded by two guards. Take them both out and head left. On this screen, you
will see three guards patrolling the area. As long as you stay lined up with
the wall, they won't see you. Take out the two guards that approach you by
punching them. Now you'll want to enter the door on the north side of the
room. Wait until the guard on the west of the room is moving towards the south
and use CARD 2 to enter the room. In the room you will find the ---CARDBOARD
BOX---. Now exit the room. When you come out of the room, there will only
be two guards on this screen, the guard in the south part of the room and
the guard in the west part of the room. Run past the guards and use CARD 2
to enter the door. Go down and enter the door in the middle of the screen.
Once in this room, you will need to quickly move to the south wall and use
CARD 2 to enter the room. Grab the ===SILENCER=== in that room. Now that you
have the SILENCER you may use your gun without the guards hearing it. Use
CARD 1 to enter the room on the east wall. In here you will find the ===GRENADE
LAUNCHER===. Exit the room and head back to the elevator guarded by two guards
from a couple screens ago. Take out the two guards and use CARD 2 to enter
the elevator. Take the elevator down to the second floor.

When you exit the elevator, you will see two cameras. One on the north wall,
one on the right wall. Use the crates to avoid the camera and head down to
the next screen. On this screen, you will see a sleeping guars. Kill him and
head south once again. On this screen you will see gray colored walls with
black lines on them. These are laser traps. Unlike Metal Gear Solid, your
---CIGARETTES--- won't detect the lasers. Since you currently have nothing
to get through the laser traps, I'll do my best to give you directions on
how to avoid the lasers. From the top center of the screen, head down until
you hit a wall. Then turn right until you hit a wall. Then go down to the
next screen. This screen it similar to the last, but there is a room you need
to enter at the top of the screen. From the entrance of the screen, go down.
As you proceed down, count the number of laser trap walls you see. When you
reach the second and third ones, go between them. Now go down until you hit
a wall and then go left until pass three laser walls. Now go up past two laser
walls. Now you go right until you are standing in front of the door. Use CARD
1 to enter the room. In here you will find a POW. Rescue him and exit the
room. Head back through the laser traps until you come to the screen with
the sleeping guard. Take him out again and head up the left path. Go left
again on the next screen and you will come to a screen with three guards.
Watch their walking pattern and take them out one at a time. Then down the
path on the southwest part of the room. On this screen you will see a security
camera and two doors. Avoid the camera and head in the door on the right to
find AMMO. Exit that room and enter the room on the left to find PLASTIC
EXPLOSIVES. Exit the room and head back to the elevator. Take the elevator
to the first floor. When you exit the elevator you will see two guards
patrolling around some crates. Go in between the crates and a pit will start
to open. Do the same thing you did last time and head south. On this screen
you will see three cameras. Two on the right wall and one on the left. Use
the crates to avoid the cameras and use CARD 2 to enter the room on the left.
In here you will find a POW. Rescue him and he will tell you that a FOX-HOUNDER
named Grey Fox is confined in a secret cell. Exit the room and head south.
When you enter the next screen, DON'T MOVE! Two guards will be patrolling
the area and if you move, the one on the right can see you. Take out the guard
on the left, then the one on the right when he's not looking. Use CARD 2 to
enter the door on the right. Inside you will find a ===SUB MACHINE GUN===.
Exit the room and use CARD 1 to enter the door on the left. Inside you will
find a POW. He will tell you that the best way to gain access to the secret
cell is to allow yourself to be captured. Exit the room and head south. On
this screen, you will see a guard patrolling the area with a truck on the
left. Take him out, and then enter the truck.  As you proceed through the
truck, a guard will come behind you and say "DON'T MOVE" and tell you that
you are captured. The screen will then fade to black as Snake is captured...


III. Rescuing Grey Fox:
After getting captured, it's time for Snake to complete his first objective
of the game and to gain a new objective in his operation. You will also fight
the first boss of the game.

With Snake captured and taken to the secret cell inside of the +++STORAGE
BUILDING+++, its time to figure out a way to rescue Grey Fox. Big Boss will
call you and tell you to move out and locate Grey Fox's solitary cell. He
suggest to you that you punch the walls to get out. End the call and punch
on middle part of the west wall until you hear a strange tap. Keep punching
on it to open up a passageway to the next cell. Proceed into the next cell.
Inside you will find the missing FOX-HOUND operative, Grey Fox. Rescue him
and he will tell you that Metal Gear is nuclear armed and that you must destroy
it before it is completed. He says that Dr. Pettrovich Madnar, the designer
of Metal Gear, is the only one who knows how to destroy it.  Punch on the
spot just to the left of center on the south wall until you hear a strange
tap and keep punching that spot until the wall breaks. Exit the solitary cell.
This is the first floor basement of +++BUILDING TWO+++. You have no equipment
and no weapons so you must be cautious as you proceed. Head right from here.
In this room you will be met by the first boss of the game, Shoot Gunner.

*****BOSS FIGHT #1*****
Shoot Gunner

Ok, you must fight this boss on your own with no weapons. Good luck....


Just kidding:) You didn't think I would make you fight him with no boss
strategy did you? If you notice in this room you will see two doors on the
south wall. Hide behind the crates on the right side of the room and call
Big Boss (120.85). He will tell you that your weapons and equipment must be
in one of those rooms. Enter the door on the right and you will get your weapons
and equipment back. Exit that room and use CARD 2 to enter the door on the
left. Enter the room to find ---CARD 3---. Exit the room and hide back behind
the crates again. Shoot Gunner will fire a spray of bullets at you as you
move across the room. When you're behind the crates, equip your
REMOTE-CONTROLLED MISSLES and fire them at Shoot Gunner. Three or four hits
with it will kill him.

After the battle, check your equipment. You will notice that you have a new
little item called the ---TRANSMITTER---. The TRANSMITTER will alert the
guards of your presence as long as you have it on you. Press the fire button
to get rid of it. Use CARD 3 to exit the room via the door on the east side
of the room. This next area is one big spiral with guard dogs littered around
it. Kill the dog next to the door and use CARD 2 on the south door. Grab the
---BODY ARMOR--- and exit the room.  Watch out for dogs on your way out. Follow
the path right. Use CARD 2 to open the door. Inside the room you will find
a ---BOMB BLAST SUIT--- on the desk. Take it and go around until you come
to a wall. Enter that room below you using CARD 3. When you enter the room,
you will find the ---UNIFORM---. Exit the room and head to the right one
screen. Use CARD 3 to exit the building. From here go right twice and then
down twice. Use CARD 4 to enter BUILDING ONE. Go right past the four guards
to the next screen. Enter the elevator on this screen and take it to the second
floor.

On the second floor, use the crates to avoid the camera again and head left.
You will see the room with the three guards again. Take them out and use CARD
3 to enter the door on the west wall. Proceed through this room. In the next
room you will see a rolling pin. Proceed quickly through this room and exit
the room via the door on the south wall. In the next area you will see a bunch
of crates and a single guard behind them. Just easily avoid the guard and
head south. In this room you will see a large wall in the middle of the room
and three guards roaming the south part of the room. Take them out or avoid
them and head south. In this area you will see an open door to your left and
a closed door to your right. There will also be two guards patrolling the
south part of the screen. Enter the door on the left and you will find MINES
on a desk surrounded by three sleeping guards. Quietly take out the guards,
grab the MINES, and exit the room. Avoid the guards and use CARD 1 to enter
the door on the right. Inside you will find a POW. Rescue him and exit the
room, avoid the guards, and head south. On the next screen you will see a
gray colored floored. It is an electric floor, but it is not active. If the
guard in this area sees you, he will turn on the electric floor. Use the crate
to avoid the guard or take him out with a REMOTE CONTROLLED MISSLE and use
CARD 3 to enter the door in the center of and grab the ---INFRARED GOGGLES---.
Exit the room with the three guards. Take the lower path around to the sleeping
guard. Take him out and head down. You will now be in the laser trap area
from earlier. Use your INFRARED GOGGLES to se where the lasers are. Sneak
through the first screen of lasers to the south and through the second screen
of lasers and head west. In this area you will see two guards patrolling the
area and a room in the middle of the area. Use CARD 3 to enter the room in
the middle and rescue the POW. He will tell you that Dr. Pettrovich is confined
to a solitary cell in the courtyard. Exit the room and use CARD 3 to enter
the door on the left. In here you will find the second boss of the game, Machine
Gun Kid.

*****BOSS FIGHT #2*****
Machine Gun Kid

Machine Gun Kid will run around the north part of the room firing several
shots downward. Hide behind a wall in the south part of the room and use REMOTE
CONTROLLED MISSLES to kill him. Four REMOTE CONTROLLED MISSLES should do the
trick.

After the boss fight, go left to the next screen. Use CARD 1 to enter the
enter the door in the north part of the room. In here you will find the ---IRON
GLOVE---. Exit this room and head right. Enter the room in the middle of the
screen to rescue the POW.


IV. Double Trouble:
One objective completed and another one gained. Your goal now is to find Dr.
Pettrovich and find out information about Metal Gear.

From here you will need to head to the roof. But before you do that, now is
a good time to restock your entire inventory. You should know where everything
is in BUILDING ONE at this point in the game. After you restock your inventory,
head to the elevator in the northeast part of the building. Take the elevator
to the roof. When you exit the elevator, you will get a call from Big Boss.
He will tell you that the wind barrier is extended on the roof and that you
should look for a BOMB BLAST SUIT. If you listened to me earlier and got the
BOMB BLAST SUIT from the STORAGE BUILDING, equip it for use on the roof. If
not, then go back to the STORAGE BUILDING and get it. After you equipped the
BOMB BLAST SUIT, head west. Here you will see three guards patrolling the
area. Take them out or sneak past them and head west again from here. This
screen will have two guards patrolling around a bunch of crates. This screen
is also easy to get by on as long as you stay south and head west. Here will
be one more guards. Take him out or sneak past him and head south to the next
screen via the left path.  No guards here just enter the open door and grab
the AMMO. Exit the room and continue south. Use CARD 2 to enter the room here
and rescue the POW. Exit the room and head back to the screen with the two
guards where you could go west or south. Head south from here. On this screen
you will see a swaying bridge. You have to make it across the bridge. If you
fall off, you die. It's tricky at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Just
try to head straight down very slowly. On the next screen you have to do the
exact same thing, but the bridge is swaying the other direction. Head down
slowly and as straight as possible. Once across the bridge to the next screen,
you will see a rocket man type guard just head west on the south part of the
screen. Use the REMOTE CONTROLLED MISSLES to destroy the control panel to
the electric floor in this area as well as the two guards and use CARD 3 to
enter the room. Grab the ---MINE DETECTOR--- on the desk and exit the room.
Head back to the screen after the bridge and head east. Here you will face
more rocket guard troubles. Just run past them east to the next screen. On
this screen you will fight boss number three, Twin Shot.

*****BOSS FIGHT #3*****
Twin Shot

Run up to the empty space next to the right twin and fire ten grenades from
your GRENADE LAUNCHER to kill him. Run up to the empty space and do the same
thing to the other.

After the boss fight, head north. Enter the door on the left using CARD 2
and the POW will tell you that Dr. Pettrovich is in +++BUILDING TWO+++.


V. Heavy Weapons:
After beating the "hardest" bass in any Metal Gear game, it is time to face
two consecutive bosses.

Exit the room head all the way back to where you enter BUILDING ONE after
you were captured. Go up three screens to fight the fourth boss of the game,
the Tank.


*****BOSS FIGHT #4*****
Tank

The Tank will fire machine gun rounds at you. Hide behind the wall to stay
away from it. When the tank backs up, place a MINE down in front of the Tanks
path. It will hit the MINE when it comes forward. When placing the MINE, watch
out for the missiles that it shoots out. If it hits you, it will likely kill
you. To avoid getting hit by the missile, just place the MINE to the side
of the missile cannon. Try to place two or three MINES at a time to make the
battle quicker. You might need to use a RATION or two if your hit by his machine
gun.

When the tank is destroyed, proceed north. This next screen is pretty much
empty. Proceed on to the next screen. Here you will see three guards that
immediately attack you. Take them out then Big Boss will then call you and
tell you that you have reached a road block. He will tell you that you need
an enemy uniform to sneak past the guards in this area. He will also inform
you that his new frequency is 120.13. Make a note of that. End the transmission
and equip the UNIFORM. Proceed forward and enter the door to go in BUILDING
TWO. From the entrance of the building, head left. On this screen you will
see two guards. One will be patrolling the northwest corner of the screen
and the other will be patrolling the other side of the drainage system. Head
up to the guard in the northwest corner of the screen and take him out. Use
CARD 4 to enter the room. Grab the AMMO and exit the room. When you exit the
room, take out the guard near you then proceed back to where you entered the
building. From here, go down into the drainage system and head left. Run
through the drainage system and use CARD 4 to enter the door in the drainage
system. If the guards see you, just ignore them and keep going. In this room
the fifth boss of the game, the Bulldozer, will confront you.

*****BOSS FIGHT #5*****
Bulldozer

When you enter this room the Bulldozer will be slowly approaching you. You
must defeat it before it crushes you. Exit the room and equip your GRENADE
LAUNCHER. Enter the room again and fire the grenades at him as fast as you
can. After it is hit with eight grenades, it will explode and the path will
be cleared.

Use CARD 4 to enter the next room. In this room you will see five laser walls.
Equip your INFRARED GOGGLES to see the lasers. The lasers will flash in
different directions. Get past them and enter the elevator take the elevator
to the roof.


VI. Double Trouble, Part II:
In this section you will complete another objective and gain another
objective. This is one of the hardest areas in the game. There are tons of
guards in this area so be careful.

The second you enter the roof; you will see three guards. Take them out and
use CARD 2 to enter the room on the left. Inside you will find a POW. Rescue
him and exit the room and proceed east. Here you'll see four guards. Sneak
past them and head south. On this screen three guards will be patrolling the
south area. Take out the one you encounter and head south again. The next
area will have one of those rocket guards. Take him out and use CARD 4 to
enter the door in the center of the screen. Inside you will find ---CARD 5---.
Grab it, exit the room, and head east. Another rocket guard is here. Take
him out and use CARD 5 to enter the room. Once again a rocket guard will greet
you. Run past him and us CARD 5 to enter the elevator. Take the elevator down
to the first floor.

Once you exit the elevator you will see two guards. Take them out and use
CARD 5 to exit the room. Head left in this room and then head left again in
the next. Take out guard, enter door. Grab RATION, kill guard, head right,
then north. Enter the door on the left using CARD 2, taking out the guards
first. Grab the ---ANTENNA--- and Big Boss will call you and tell you that
the ANTENNA was blocking your communications. Exit, take out guards, head
right. Can you tell I'm getting board yet? Two guards will attack you here
take them out and go north. Use CARD 5 to enter. Rescue the POW and he will
tell you that the drainage system will lead you to +++BUILDING THREE+++. Exit
and head to where you could enter the water, just before the room with the
ANTENNA. Enter it and follow the north shallow part of the water around. Get
out of the water and go down and around the path, killing the guard along
the way. Enter the room and you will find ---CARD 6---. Follow the path back
and enter the water. Follow the path around and exit the water on the opposite
side from where you entered it then go up and then left on the next screen.
You will see lasers here. Use your INFRARED GOGGLES here and enter the
elevator. Take it to the second floor. Take out the guards to your sides and
then head to the right, taking out the guard there as well. Follow the pat
and take out the two guards. Use CARD 6 to enter the room here and grab the
---ANTIDOTE---. Exit and head back around the path and use CARD 1 to enter
the door on the south part of the screen. You will be in the room with the
sixth boss of the game, the Arnolds, but you can't defeat them yet. Use CARD
5 to enter the door on the southeast corner of the room. Take out the two
guards here and enter the room in the middle of the screen. In here you will
rescue the POW. He will tell you to call Jennifer at 120.48. Exit the room
and call Jennifer at 120.48. If you don't have a four star ranking, she won't
answer you. If you rescued all the POWs that I told you to rescue up to this

pits that open. Hug the right side of the room and get rid of the pits as

up to behind him or right next to him and unload on him with your HANDGUN.

to use a RATION if you were touched by his flame or him while running up to
him.

After the fight, use CARD 6 to enter the door behind Fire Trooper. Inside
you will find Dr. Pettrovich. He will ask you to rescue his daughter who is

STORAGE BUILDING. Go back to Dr. Pettrovich and he will tell you that in order
to destroy the Super Computer that operates Metal Gear, you need to place
16 PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES on each side of it in a certain order. That order is
R, R, L, R, L, L, R, L, L, R, R, L, R, L, R, R. Now exit the STORAGE BUILDING
and head back to BUILDING THREE to destroy Metal Gear once and for all!

IX. The Traitor:
You need all the PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES you can get so stock up on those before
to proceed. Now once you get back to BUILDING THREE, head back to the 100th
floor basement. As soon as you arrive at the 100th floor basement, avoid the
cameras and use CARD 8 to enter the door on the right wall. Don't worry too
much about the camera seeing you. All it will do is fire a laser at you, it
won't alert the guards. Enter the room and rescue the POW. He will tell you
that the leader of Outer Heaven is none other than.....................the
Commander-in-Chief of FOX-HOUND, Big Boss! Exit the room and head west. Big

the ninth boss of the game, the all-powerful Super Computer.

*****BOSS FIGHT #9*****
Super Computer

To defeat the Super Computer, you must use PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES and the order
that Dr. Pettrovich gave you earlier. Put the PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES on his feet
in the order R, R, L, R, L, L, R, L, L, R, R, L, R, L, R, R. There are four
soldiers in this room as well, dispose of them first.

When you place all 16 PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES in the correct place, the Super
Computer will explode taking the two cameras with it and setting off the Outer
Heaven self-destruct system. A timer will appear on the bottom of the screen
and an emergency message will appear in a text box. The door to your left
will then open. Heal yourself with a RATION. Enter the door to fight your
final battle.

*****BOSS FIGHT #10*****
Big Boss

Big Boss will tell you that you were sent here to get false information on
Metal Gear, but you accomplished too much. He will tell you that you have
crushed his ambitions. He will then say that he will not die alone and that
you are coming with him. Diane then calls you and tells you that she doesn't
know how to defeat Big Boss. The fight begins. You must use your ROCKET
LAUNCHER to defeat Big Boss. 5-10 hits with the ROCKET LAUNCHER should take
care of the traitor. Use the crates for protection from his gunshots. The
BODY ARMOR also comes in handy for that too. Use a RATION or two if needed.

After the fight, smoke some CIGARETTES to give yourself more time to escape.
The door on the north wall will open. Enter the door. There will be three
ladders. Climb the one on the left like Jennifer's brother told you to do
earlier. Climb up to the surface and it will cut to a scene where Solid Snake
is running away from Outer Heaven just as it explodes. Solid Snake then calls
Big Boss's frequency and says that Metal Gear was destroyed and Operation
Intrude N313 was a success. He then tunes into a radio station and they saw
that there was a large explosion at Outer Heaven around midnight. The credits
will then role and the screen will fade to black. Congratulations, you've
just completed Metal Gear. Now it's time to pop in the sequel, Metal Gear
2: Solid Snake for MSX. Check out my FAQ/Walkthrough for it as well.

Here are questions and other things I know people will probably e-mail me
and ask me so I'll just answer them here to save you the trouble of e-mailing
me and save me the trouble of answering the same question over and over again.
I will also add any questions people e-mail me with in here.

Q. In the characters section, why are "Grey Fox" and "Solid Snake" names
unknown when they were both revealed in Metal Gear Solid?

A. Because they were revealed AFTER Metal Gear took place so they would not
be known at the time Metal Gear took place.
