"There's only room for one boss and one snake."

— The Boss

All began in the mid-60's just before America had entered into the Vietnam War a year later. It was a time of tension as both sides of the world's superpowers collided against eachother. The United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics went head to head with the use of threats presented by the new technological weapon known as the Nuclear Bomb. Now, with the help of the US Goverment and a Goverment funded project with collobration of the CIA, a new Special Forces Unit was created known as FOX. Its purpose was to go behind enemy lines and do the wet work without the other side knowning who it was. Major Zero leads the newly formed FOX unit into its first mission in the heart of Russia with their first candidate...a veteran of warfare -- Jack, aka Naked Snake.
