Metal Gear Solid, released as Metal Gear: Ghost Babel(メタルギア ゴーストバベルMetaru Gia Gōsuto Baberu) in Japan and Asia, is a 2000 stealth action game produced by Konami for the Game Boy Color. Named after the 1998 PlayStation game of the same title, the Game Boy Color version of Metal Gear Solid (or Ghost Babel) is not a conversion of the previous game, but an original game produced specifically for the portable platform. The story of Ghost Babel is not set in the same continuity as Metal Gear Solid, but instead serves as an alternate sequel to the events of the original Metal Gear, set seven years after Solid Snake's mission in Outer Heaven. It is not part of the main canonical timeline of the Metal Gear series.
