Metal Gear is an action game that at first glance brings associations with classic shooters such as Commando or Ikari Warriors. However, unlike Konami products, they are more focused on surveillance activities, not necessarily manifested by the constant use of weapons. A well-equipped and deadly enemy is better to avoid "quietly" than to enter into an open fight.

Vermon CaTaffy is a ruthless Mongolian terrorist who, in the late 1990s, conquered a small area of South Africa with his brothers and sisters. For safety reasons, the fighter could quietly develop a prototype of a deadly weapon that he called Metal Gear. An American interview, who for a long time looked at CaTaffy's actions, was not able to find out what this tool of annihilation really is. The only thing we managed to establish was that Metal Gear makes it easy to shoot missiles armed with nuclear warheads from any place on Earth. Given the real threat to world peace, the US government has decided to send an agent to South Africa. The choice fell on a man named "Solid Snake", who became famous for his heroic attitude during the fights in Grenada. As you can easily guess, it is you, the player, who will play the role of this soldier. The task is simple: you have to find and destroy the Metal Gear machine before it is used to start an international conflict.
