I think that would have been on the 2006 Metal Slug Anthology.
I was in love with the game long before I actually got a chance to sit down and play it to completion. I can point out the bowling alleys and arcades that had a NEOGEO MVS cabinet that ran Metal Slug. I rented games on weekends that’s where most of my experience came from back before I had my own income.Īgainst what I just said, Metal Slug became a key game of my childhood. There was usually one around, and I played them when I could, but I was too young to have a substantial enough allowance to drop at the local quarter-hole. Arcade games weren’t a huge presence in my development as a gaming hobbyist.
