Metal Slug, is it the best classic action arcade game?
Yes it is indeed the favorite action game ever! Not because you experience to be a champion at least once in your lifetime even if it’s just in arcade but because it’s an invigorating hand-drawn cartoon game instead of a complex graphics game. Also, the plot just gets better each time. Well, who does not get addicted with an action-filled, shooting, run and gun game? Everybody enjoys gory bloodshed. That’s for sure. Hopefully just in games though.
So I suppose it all started for our passion for Contra on those sleepless nights in front of the aged big box type TV with our favorite family computer trying to finish the game. We are not done yet are we?
Metal Slug’s target, just like any other action game is to get rid of everyone who crosses your path until you encounter the boss at the end of each level. Following the original Metal Slug version were Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4, Metal Slug 5, Metal Slug 6 and the compilation of the series Metal Slug Anthology. Most of these versions, if not all, were released across all gaming platforms. The objective of the game stayed the same throughout all versions.
