"The Zanzibar Conflict"

In 1999, Dr.Kio Marv, inventor of the oil refining microbe, OILIX, was taken hostage by Zanzibar, a heavily armed nation in central Asia ruled by a minority ethnic group. Zanzibar was planning to gain political and military hegemony over a world suffering under the cruel weight of a worldwide energy crisis. Roy Campbell, Commander of Fox Hound, called Solid Snake, now in retirement, back to active duty to infiltrate Zanzibar and recover Dr.Marv. Solid Snake made it past Zanzibar's impressive steel wall and penetrated deep into its interior. Once inside he destroyed Metal Gear, which had been completed after being transported from Outer Heaven, and defeated Gray Fox, former member of Fox Hound and now leader of Zanzibar mercenary corps. He was also successful in retrieving the OILIX manufacturing process. Finally, he would once again meet his destiny with the man pulling the strings in Zanzibar, Big Boss! He had survived Outer Heaven and created Zanzibar in order to make the world rife with conflict and war, a world in which soldiers such as himself would have a place. After defeating Big Boss for the second and final time, Snake gave up on war and retired to the peaceful Alaskan wilderness.
