Why I love: Metal Slug (Neo Geo)


Image source: ign.com

When this game was released in 1996, the 16-bit era was ending as we were about to go into the new era of 32-bit gaming. Most developers were starting to get used to the hardware from consoles like the original PlayStation (or PS1 for short) and the Nintendo 64. Some developers though, they decided to continue making 2D games. This is one of those...

Today, I'm going to talk a bit about Metal Slug for the Neo Geo. This run and gun classic was published by SNK and developed by Nazca Corporation.

What you basically do in this game is that you have to continually shoot at a constant stream of enemies in order to get to the end of the level (or mission as they called them). There is six levels in this game which range from forests to military bases. I know that amount of levels isn't a lot, but it's still a blast to play.

You can now play this SNK classic by downloading it from either the PlayStation Store on both PS3 and PSP, and also the Virtual Console service on the Wii.
