NeoGeo has been on the most successful developers when it comes to arcade games, thanks to some of the titles that it has published over the years, like:
King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown or Metal Slug. This last one became one of the most popular, because it cleverly mixed platform games, with action and humor.
The
Metal Slug saga places us in the role of
Marco Rossi and his team, that have the mission to travel around the world in search of
General Morden, a corrupt military man that wants to take control of the world with his evil plans.
The game develops in a graphic environment that, although somewhat simple, is ideal for this kind of title, because of the simplicity of the characters and the scenery, give it an old feel that will never be outdated. In what regards to the controls, we will have to move, jump, launch grenades, and of course, shoot at anything that moves.
Metal Slug includes a NeoGeo (
NeoRAGEx) emulator, so that we can enjoy the game on our PC, it offers support for
1 or
2 players and doesn't require many resources to run.
