This week, Mike and James take a look at the first NEO-GEO CD game they've played in the "James and Mike Plays" series. This week, it is Metal Slug!
An arcade favorite for many gamers, it is a very simple concept, but simple doesn't necessarily mean boring! You take the control of Cpt. Marco Rossi and Lt. Tarma Roving of the Peregrine Falcon Strike Force. You are there to stop the infamous General Morden, who has initiated a coup d'etat taking place against all the world's governments. His most recent attack has given him access to a new, powerful all-terrain combat tank dubbed the "Metal Slug."
The game was released in 1996 and developed by Nazca Corporation, and published by SNK. The game, having been originally released on the "Neo Geo MVS arcade platform", made its home debut on the NEO-GEO, and soon after on the NEO-GEO CD.
With the use of the arcade stick on the NEO-GEO systems, it translated very well into the home video-game market. Having an authentic feeling really DOES make the game feel a lot better. In fact, it was so popular, it got ported to many different consoles, including the Sega Saturn, Playstation, and many other online services, such as the Virtual Console and Playstation Network.
