I noticed no problems during my playthroughs, it's like playing on arcade machine. This newest version plays fine on both keyboard or if your like me with a connected controller. In my current play through I have yet to even encounter mummies and turn into one.

The Metal Slug series has always served up an amazing screen of 16 bit mayhem and it can be seen again here. One boss fight seems to be a combination of: Aliens, E.T., 2001 and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Damn you, underworld race of snails! I mentioned zombies, but enemies get weirder and boss fights will have you pondering where the developers came up with such ideas. There's plenty of lives/credits to make it so far in the game and with mission mode, where you can choose a level if you've reached it, you have a greater chance at beating the game.Д¬reativity continues with different branching levels for certain replay value, sometimes a level may have more than one direction to go through and on the way you might encounter even stranger enemies than the soldiers you were fighting. One shot or slice from an enemy and your dead. Your head might fall off if you haven't played a shooter from more than ten years ago. When you die as a zombie, as any character, you die a little differently and melt away, sometimes your head falls off. The effort that went into this zombie concept alone shows how much time an effort went into making the game. You can take more hits and of course instead of throwing bombs you''ll spew out blood killing enemies. I nearly forgot how great it is to become a zombie. Transformations finish your stock of powers. Of course there's a tank, the original Metal Slug vehicle and more travel options with cannons to fire and unlimited ammo that looks like laser blasts. You'll also have the option of a submarine, jet, helicopter, giant drill and more. In fact, there is even a robot suit at one point of the game to climb into just like in Titanfall. If you think about the games name it is weird, perhaps it was Japanese translation to English from the first game or some weird story we don't know, but Metal Slug refers to the many vehicles, including a camel with laser guns you can jump onto and start shooting enemies. It doesn't have the titans, the giant robots from Titanfall. Metal Slug has a Shotgun and even a Flamegun, but it also has a gun that shoots missiles with tiny wheels that drive up and kill enemies. They were what was missing from Titanfall, if you read my preview of the game recently a lack of new weapons made it the same shooter I've played a million times. How about the even rarer mini storm cloud that will for a time send lighting bolts at your enemies? How about a mini-satellite killing your opponents? That's only some of the many weapon upgrades to get. Three beams of light have come together to blast away entire enemy groups. Rocket Launcher fires powerful rockets breaking up enemy ships. It's the most common power-up in the game. Heavy Machine Gun greatly increases your fire power, allowing more enemies to be taken down then with your simple pistol. Weapons are both practical and other worldly-fun. This is done through a three step process called weapons, vehicles and transformations that powers you up to be the Rambo of 2D shooters. The only difference is in your ability to make many of your enemies sad they decided not to call in sick. Choosing from 4 different recruits, two boys and two ladies I like Eri, they don't have any different characteristics in game-play. You may use these to blow away your enemies in a most delightful fashion. Metal Slug drops you into a world with a gun and bombs. The screams of the soldiers, the way Rocket Launcher has an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent every time I pick you up.

Why even Mercenary Kings, coming sometime this year to Steam hopefully, is a professional quality fan-made new-age version of you made by famed gaming artist Paul Robertson and friends. Why does no one have a alarm clock that says that when they wake up? Metal Slug 3, you beautiful 2D run and gun shooter, you're everything right with video games. Mission Start! Oh, those big beautiful words. It was a sentimental ending as he played it with his AD, remembering how many times he had played Metal Slug in the past and commenting that SNK had good distributors. A moment of the show is dedicated to visiting arcades around Japan and on this visit he ended the segment by playing Metal Slug. I was recently watching an episode of Game Center CX known as Retro Game Master in these parts, a Japanese show hosted by a comedian, Shinya Arino, who plays through old-school games trying to complete them.
