INFORMATION
Summer is officially here!
What's the best thing to do in the summer? Hitting up the Arcade. But, since the modern era has killed off such gracelands, here is a stone-cold Arcade classic.
From the Wikipedia:
PLATFORMSMetal Slug is a series of run and gun video games originally created by Nazca Corporation before merging with SNK in 1996 after the completion of the first game in the series. Spin-off games include a third-person shooter to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the series and a tower defense game for the mobile platform. Originally created for Neo-Geo arcade machines hardware (MVS) and the Neo-Geo home game consoles (AES) hardware, the original games have also been ported to other consoles and mobile platforms throughout the years, with several later games created for various other platforms. The games focus on the Peregrine Falcon Squad, a small group of soldiers who fight against a rebel army, aliens and various other forces intent on world domination.
You can find Metal Slug on your mobile device of choice. LINKS
I did manage to find a pretty cool Metal Slug fansite.
Check out The Metal Slug SV-001, do not fret, although the site is in French, use Le Google translate option in Le Chrome Browser and voilà!
