METAL SLUG

[i]COME ON, BOY![/i]

A classic. Metal Slug was one of the top (2D) shoot 'em up games when it first came out. Its pixel art still holds up today, with impressive animations and some destructable environments. It may be a little short considering the price, but I think the goal of such games was ( and is, since the leaderboards are still active ) to beat other people's high-scores. Of course playing for fun is also alright, but If you're not familiar with it or similar games you'll die a lot. Which isn't fun and will end up ruining the score. Aside from that there's the option for local and online co-op which is awesome. I believe the story is inspired by WWII, it's about you trying to stop an evil army leader. I noticed some red flags with a white circle and a black symbol in the middle, so that's probably a hint too. One thing which kinda bothered me are the random slowdowns. It also affects the music, kinda lame. Looked it up and it has something to do with the game's engine not being able to process too many sprites at once or something like that.

I love METAL SLUG, especially the first one and second one. The art is stellar, the gameplay is great, it's sounds are iconic and bosses memorable. The Stage 1 OST of METAL SLUG 1 is engrained into my brain, that's how many times I listened to it (for both good and bad reasons). ...this port is just okay though. You'd be probably better off just emulating it with MAME for a more authentic (and less laggy) experience.

i saw this slug and it was covered in metal

我的橫向動作啟蒙作，是一款比洛克人還要讓我更覺得意義深遠的遊戲，懷念大於這款遊戲性帶給我的價值，我只有在玩這個遊戲的時候，才能回到那個生活無憂無慮、家人也都還在世的時光

The emulator lags all the time, fps drops to what feels like 10 and the game looks terrible with the filter on.
