I really like the over-the-top weapon design in Metal Slug. Quick sketch of a howitzer truck.

Inspired by the 38cm/42cm Skoda howitzers.

Making this post just in case someone else knows how to get the game playable, as I've had a real hankering for this specific idle game lately and haven't had much luck trying to emulate it myself with APKs and an android emulator.

Am I just completely out of luck on this? I'm somewhat suspecting I am, but here's hoping I'm not.

I’ve been playing thru metal slug 1 on my r36s and found that creating save states at the start of each level and attempting to clear each stage without taking any hits has been a real fun challenge!!

I find it takes away the stress and patience needed for a 1cc while still demanding good pattern memorization and execution for each individual stage.

I’m on stage 4 playing this way and having a blast, was wondering if this was common with anyone else playing these games??

I'd like to finally play the games but I don't want to sell a kidney to get the originals. The anthology collections are relatively cheap but I've heard the PS4 is just poor PS2 emulation that's apparently not great. And I can't find anything on the Wii version and I'm trying to avoid the 50hz European curse .The physical ACA neo Geo collections don't seem to have the MS games either.

Hi, Metal Slug lover here who played all the games except the others. (MS1-MS7)

I have noticed recently, when playing on my PSP/PS Vita. Specifically Metal Slug Anthology, whenever I play any of them, it tends to be very fast. No slowdowns or lower framerate at all.

When it comes to the emulation, it slows down alot. It annoys me but also makes me question on how a small handheld is so powerful compared to a physically big arcade machine itself.

If anyone could answer, I would appreciate it!

Is it your favorite?

He might have been unknown but he was a hero🖤

That must be why they wait until the tanks stop falling...

This probably isn't very well known, since it's a game that fans generally tend to overlook, but MS4 has four secret images in the game's ROM.

To access them, you have to enter test mode. In other titles, you’ll find unused stages, but in this specific Metal Slug, four images appear—one for each character (Marco, Fio, Trevor, Nadia).

Usually, this kind of content is shared on various websites in high quality, but I could only find these specific images in fairly low quality. The only image I found in higher resolution is the one of Nadia, so if anyone finds any in higher resolution, I hope they'll share them.

Found him metal slug 1 and 2 and x and 3, and as the final boss of 4. Who is he and how did he became a evil scientist

I will go first :

mission 5 in both Metal slug 2 and Metal slug x

I remember that the ost and atmosphere terrified me so much as a kid that I've never fought em and always ran away and blast the metal gates that keeps em away

Cuz:

Thank you all for being with me in this journey. Peace Forever! God I hate the z'gok boss

Some of them appear randomly, you might not see them every time.
