Outer
Heaven is the
terrorist base in the
NES video game Metal Gear.
Solid Snake is charged with the duty of rescuing
Grey Fox and taking out the
Metal Gear Project that is a walking
tank. Outer Heaven's site contains 4 notable
buildings and 8 levels of security that can be entered using
key cards. Outer Heaven is run by
Big Boss who is a
double agent working for the terrorist group he had founded.
The
fortress is built in the middle of a jungle where Solid Snake must sneak past
guards, tanks, and heavy
weapons to safely execute his
mission of thwarting the terrorists' plot. Outer Heaven is linked by a series of truck routes that Snake must use to navigate. The buildings house
cameras,
heat sensors,
laser based
alarms,
pitfalls, and other
death traps of the sort. About the structures, Snake finds several
hostages to
rescue,
informants to talk to,
Bosses to battle,
tools to aid his quest, and weapons to take out baddies. In the end, Outer Heaven, Metal Gear, and the terrorists lie in
rubble. In Metal Gear Solid the
army base taken by the same group of terrorists was renamed Outer Heaven in the legacy of their dream.
