Metal Slug 7

The NeoGeo was perhaps one of my favorite Arcade systems. Not because of the games persay, but because of the variety it offered to those who frequented the Arcades of the world.

Though ours was in a Pizza hut, I always loved playing that damn machine. But one game was my favorite for a many reasons. Metal Slug. A run and gun shooter 2D shooter. You play for 25-50 cents and you get a few minutes of frentic curse inducing play; therefore, something that I abso-fucking-lutely love.

To my joy, a visit to my local Funcoland, and what to my wandering eyes should appear than Metal Slug 7. I promptly purchased it and took it home. Popping it into my Gameboy I was greeted with the familar sights and sounds of Metal Slug. It looks like the game I used to play. It has the game button masher feel. The only draw back in how short the game is.

It is 7 missions long with roughly 3 levels per mission. There is no story behind it, so unless you've played the game before, you'll be fairly lost story-wise. BUT WHO CARES! It's Metal Slug. It's a good game if you've got a little time to kill in the car or a lunch break.
