only to the end of the second level, ill get past it tomorrow, its just working out the patterns - ive moved my arcade down to my living room so its a lot easier to have a blast on the games we are playing rather than booting up my pc and sticking mame on

176'250 so far. Haven't quite figured out how to do the tank without bombs still.

they are actually pretty easy with the three way green weapon you get at the start off that level on the left, i noticed watching a video the guy just bypasses the flamethrower to go for that.
What level did you get to ? 4-5?

Kind of thinking the stock weapon is best due to range. 3 way is good too, just not sure if its better.
Nope only part way through level 3. Playing on Mister and the slowdown is kinda nice ha.

Ooh did level 3.
Updated OP, if any scores aren't correct, just let me know.
I've been too busy / tired for this. I had a little go yesterday and that didn't go well! I'll try get some time to play tomorrow, before daughter gets home and steals my PC for Roblox.

Really dislike them tanks on L2! Only got to the boss once and got destroyed. First boss is pretty easy without using explosives. I'm currently sat at 83400. Deffo don't forget to pick up the medkit after blowing up all them tanks! I find myself low on health at this point.

Always wanted to play through more of Metal Slug great choice.
Soldato
Well done @Zatoichi.uK, great score.
Didn't get a lot if time to play, unfortunately, but found it pretty tough on the couple of goes I did have.
Metal Slug should be fun, hopefully will get chance to get into it.

not played metal slug for years, defo a fun choice!

Metal Slug: I'm not clever enough to know if I'm playing the MVS or AES version.. are they the same? It defaults to level 4 difficulty: is that the right setting?
I don't know the difference between MVS / AES. I don't think that matters much, as it should still be same gameplay wise? My game defaults to LVL-4 as shown at bottom of my screenshot in spoiler. I also read this https://metalslug.fandom.com/wiki/Arcade_Settings which has a picture of what I guess are default settings. For some reason there isn't actually a setting on mine to increase or decrease the difficulty, maybe that's an arcade thing.

Got mame archive somewhere with gigs of roms, must dig it out.
I remember so many are jsut variants though and lots not working!

This seems like fun! Gutted I missed Black Tiger though.
I'll keep an eye on this in case something comes up that I can get my teeth into.
That said, largely the games I really love I'm awful at.

Had my first go, forgot what a fun game it was; the slowdown on real hardware or mister comes in handy I think !
50910 for my first attempt
