Description
MVS TO AES CONVERSION

(My copy of this is NOT an original--which are rare and worth a fortune--but rather a conversion from the arcade cart to a home cart).

Here it is, the first in the long-running Metal Slug series. One or two players parachute behind enemy lines in this light-hearted (if bloody) run-and-gun with absolutely fantastic pixel work. The titular Metal Slugs--armored tanks that can dish out heavy punishment before exploding--take this game over the top. Skill plays a role as the player is rewarded for POWs rescued withOUT dying, similar to Raiden's medal system.

Note the terrible cover artwork: this let's you know it's not a legit copy :)
