The official site for the audio drama adaptation of "Metal Gear: Ghost Babel" by SOLIDER Productions!
In 1998, after the huge success of "Metal Gear Solid" and "VR Missions," Shinta Nojiri wrote a non-canon storyline for a Game Boy Color game, set in the Metal Gear universe. In Japan, it was released under the title of "Metal Gear: Ghost Babel," while in America, released as "Metal Gear Solid" as a marketing scheme, misleading many into thinking they were getting a port of the PlayStation blockbuster of the same name. What became of this was one of the greatest portable games ever, not just among the portable Metal Gear games of today, but among every other portable game as well. Featuring the same great style, gameplay, dark and gripping storyline, and soundtrack by Norihiko Hibino, Ghost Babel is an underpreciated gem that deserves this 20th anniversary tribute audio drama from SOLIDER Productions, and the many incredible amateur voice talents across the globe.

SYNOPSIS
Early 21st century. An incident of unprecedented magnitude sends shockwaves through the highest levels of the U.S. government: A prototype bipedal armored vehicle, Metal Gear, has been seized along with its nuclear payload by an armed group. In a radical response to this crisis situation, the government calls in Solid Snake, the master saboteur who single-handedly brought down the fortress state of Outer Heaven seven years ago. The order given to him is to infiltrate into enemy's headquarters called "Galuade" and destroy Metal Gear.
Solid Snake by himself stands up against the impregnable armed fortress. But there awaits him is an unknown mercenary group who call themselves "Black Chamber."
Dark connections to the past, truths hidden behind the closed door are starting to be laid bare. So is the huge conspiracy surrounding Metal Gear...
