To start off...

This here marks the beginning of the end of the illustrious legacy of Solid Snake. His story began on the MSX2's Metal Gear made back in 1987 and is still continuing with the release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PlayStation 3, slated for a world wide release on June 12th, 2008.

The character of Solid Snake has spanned through five canon games; Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. He has also appeared in the non-canon games of Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge, Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel, Metal Gear Ac!d, Metal Gear Ac!d 2 and the recently released Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Solid Snake also appeared in the re-releases of the solid games: Metal Gear Solid: Integral (VR Missions and Special Missions in North America and Europe respectively), Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. His cameo in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (and in Subsistence) is limited to the minigame of Snake VS Monkey.

My posts from here on out will be dedicated to giving a story overview on every game in the timeline of Metal Gear. Once the story overview of a certain game is over, I will post a biography of every major character in said game up to after that game. I will also update regularly on any new news I find. Thank you all, for following in this twenty-one year long journey of one of the most renowned franchises in video game history.
