Now after years of pillaging innocent people, he has taken control ofouter heaven, a small naton on the outskirts of Southe Africa.  Here he issole tyrant and radial dictator.  He rules with bullets and bombs, and inonly in a few months he has outlawed democracy and turned harmless villagersinto mercenaries for a global terrorist network.   But his biggest threat is yet to come.  For, as an obsessed madman, hehas created the Ultimate Super Weapon.  It's CaTaffy's greatest dream andthe world's most hideous nightmare.   It's called Metal Gear.  And it must be destroyed before the crazedColonel unleashes his violence across the globe.HOW TO TACKLE CaTAFFYYour mission, Solid Snake, is to seek out and destroy the Metal Gear,nothing less.  To triumph, you must gather necessary information, weapons,and equipment as you press forward into the enemy's domain.   Weapons and equipment can be found and captured in three various ways.Find them in enemy trucks.  Find them in enemy storehouses.  Or snatch themdirectly from certain enemies.   Of vital importance as you proceed on your perilous mission, is how wellyou communicate with Commander South back at Fox Hound's HQ.  Whenever yousee a flashing "Call Sign" it means that he's trying to reach you with keyinfo.  Get in touch with him on the double, using your transceiver. (SeeTransceiver Mode on pg. 8)                                                 4   Also know now that CaTaffy has 5 heavily fortified strongholds locatedthroughout Outer Heaven, and you must discover then search each beforeaccomplishing your ultimate task.   The strongholds have between 1 and 3 floors.  You'll move from floorto floor using elevators, and along the way you'll rescue grateful hostageswho'll offer crucial infromation as to the whereavouts of Metal Gear.   When you rescue a predetermined number of prisoners you'll be promoted,and as your rank increases so will your VITAL SIGN.  On the negative side,if you botch it up and get a hostage killed you'll immediately be demoted.   Be warned, though, about the Strongholds.  They aren't cake walks.Each, in fact, is surrounded by loyal CaTaffy guards, and it's up to youelude them without triggering hidden alarms.  The mission finally ends whenyou die.
