1. INTRODUCTION
=============================================================================
This is my very first FAQ for the Game Boy Color, and I'm glad that it's for
Metal Gear Solid. MGS was orginally released on the PlayStation a few years
back, and was hailed as one of the best PS games ever. Well now it's on the
Game Boy Color, and it's just as good, except for the obvious graphical and
sound differences. The story is almost the same as the PS version, but the 
locations are different, as are some of the characters. Also, cigarettes are
now called "foggers". Must be Nintendo's work. Oh well, this is still one
of the best Game Boy Color games ever, and I suggest you try it.

3. UPDATES/REVISION HISTORY
=============================================================================

Version 0.3 (05/09/00)
-----------------------

* First version



Version 0.35 (05/12/00)
------------------------

* Added Stage 02 walkthrough

* I will not be adding any more maps to the walkthroughs, since the stages
  are too large to make maps, and I do not have the time or the patience
  to do so. Just doing the first Stage 01 map was tedious.

* I have changed this "walkthrough" to something entirely different. Since
  it's just a Game Boy Game, a walkthrough is sorta pointless. Metal Gear
  solid is just so linear that you don't really need one. Instead, I have
  just listed out what you can find in each Stage, and maybe later on
  I'll go in-depth on the rest of the game (VR Missions). I will only point
  out the tough spots for that level, but that's it

>From the Game Manual<

Early 21st century. An incident of unprecedented magnitude sends shockwaves
through the highest levels the U.S. government. A prototype bipedal armored 
vehicle, Metal Gear, has been seized along with it's nuclear payload by an
armed group. In a radical response to this crisis situation, the government
calls in Solid Snake, the master saboteur who singlehandedly brought down 
the fortress state of Outer Haven seven years ago.

After you first see Snake drop in via parachute, he'll automatically run 
up to the next screen. After a conversation with Campbell and Mei-Ling,
you will take control of Snake. Watch for the guard, and when the time is
right, sneak past him and towards the right side, and to the screen at
the right. Avoid the next guard, and go up and onto the next screen.

Once here, you'll see a pair of trucks. Grab the rations from the left
truck, then leave and backtrack to where you met the first guard. Once
here, avoid the same guard, then go up and to the next screen. At this 
next area, just avoid the next guard, then advance to the next screen
towards the north. Once here, you'll see four different bushes, and a
guard. Avoid the guard, then go right past the next two screens until
you reach two more trucks. This time enter the truck on the right, and
you will find the five-seven pistol. Leave this area to the left, and 
go through the next screen and continue to the left. Avoid the guard 
again, and go north and to the left and around the bushes. Wait for
the guard to turn around, then hide in the tiny crevice, and when he
passes you, grab the ammo from the corner. Now return to the screen 
with the four bushes.

Once here, go right to the next screen, and go north on the next screen.
Avoid the guard, and continue north until you reach an area with a sleeping
guard in the tall grass, and two other guards patrolling around. Veer to the
left, sneak past the sleeping guard, and go to the north-west corner of the
screen to find some rations. Now go right, and continue north until you
reach two more guards.

Once there, cut through the mud to avoid the guard, then continue north. 
Once out of the mud, go left to find some more rations. Now go north until
you reach some more mud surrounding a bridge. Take the muddy route again, 
and continue north. If you've avoided the three guards, then you will reach
the finish and you will complete Stage 01.


Stage 02:
+=--=+=--=+
Items: Rations x4 , Suppressor, Five-Seven Ammo x1, Guards x10 , RS Rifle 

When you start the Stage, avoid the cameras by staying towards the bottom of
the screen, and run all the way right. You should reach a point when a guard
leaves the main facility, and a door will open. Ignore that for now, and 
continue right until the screens end. Once they end, you should be in an
area with another small facility. Go in it, and after the guards talk and one
of them leaves, wait for the other one to fall asleep, then sneak to the top
of the screen and take the Five-Seven Suppressor. Now leave, and go back to
the area where the guard left the facility and the open door...


Stage 03:

Coming soon...
