Description

Metal Slug was originally released on the Neo Geo (a Japanese arcade machine and console), being a sidescrolling shoot'em'up. The story is simple, you're a soldier (or two, if you want to play with your mate) up against a gigantic army. Every level consists of you running forward blasting everything moving, and getting any powerup in the way (there's also a wide selection of weaponry in the game), and in the end of each level you're up against one gigantic boss.

In this Playstation port there's also some extra features compared to the original: there's a combat school where you fight with your friends for the best time on each level, and an art gallery.
