Metal Gear Solid (メタルギアソリッド Metaru Gia Soriddo, commonly abbreviated as MGS or MGS1) is a stealth action video-game directed by Hideo Kojima. The game was developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and first published in 1998 for the PlayStation.
Synopsis
During a training mission in late February 2005 on Shadow Moses, a remote island off the coast of Alaska containing a nuclear weapons facility, FOXHOUND and the Next-Generation Special Forces rebelled against the United States Government, under the command of Liquid Snake. Their target was the advanced weapon system Metal Gear REX, a gigantic robotic weapons platform with worldwide nuclear strike capabilities. Their demand was the body of the greatest soldier who ever lived, Big Boss, which, through gene therapy, they could use to create an army of ultimate soldiers. With the safety of the entire world at stake, at the request of the Secretary of Defense, Colonel Roy Campbell, the former commander of FOXHOUND, summoned Solid Snake out of retirement for one last solo covert operation to stop Liquid.
Most of the English voice actors were credited under pseudonyms since they did not know if the project was supported by the Screen Actors Guild. The only exceptions were Doug Stone and Konami employee Scott Dolph.
Though David Hayter initally used a pseudonym, he was able to get confirmation from SAG by the time of the game's final release.
