The information below is taken from the official Konami Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol.1 website.

The Cold War Crisis that started it all.

“During the Cold War, Naked Snake—later known as Big Boss—is deployed to the U.S.S.R. to rescue Soviet scientist Sokolov, but the mission ends in failure after the betrayal of his master and “The Mother of Special Forces”, The Boss. Sokolov is then recaptured by GRU Colonel Volgin. One week later, Snake receives new orders to return to Soviet territory to rescue Sokolov and eliminate The Boss―a mission that will shape the course of history.

The epic saga of METAL GEAR and the birth of the legendary hero Big Boss starts here.”
