METAL SLUG

LOVE THE METAL SLUG SERIES!, since i can remember back in the day going to the arcades and seeing the metal slug arcade cabinet for the first time, i was blown away from it's balls to the wall action and very detailed animations, feels like contra on steroids. used spend hours and wasting so much quarters/tokens on this game and it's sequels. i bought almost all Metal Slug games on GOG (they were sale) all ported by Dotemu for PC, i must say im very disappointed the way they handled them, framerate drops constantly and input lag that wasn't an issue in the metal slug anthology release back in 2006!, Even Metal Slug X&3 were struggling for some odd reasons and i have powerful pc, so i don't know what emulator Dotemu are using for these games but it's pretty bad, also i don’t like that they changed the OG arcade menu (that was on the previous consoles), instead a very generic menu with in game cover images and even character select was changed. I was unhappy with it. one of my few regrets spending money on bad ports i decided to try the very hard to find PC version of Metal Slug Anthology from 2007, and after fixing the exe (thanks to the stupid DRM) and controller issues (getting the USB controller to work was super annoying) its working perfectly fine now. like with other ports it's bare-bones but on the positive side you get Metal Slug 1,2,X,3,4,5 and 6 all faithful ports, no frame drops or input lag (except very little in Metal Slug 1&2 when screen get's busy which was common even in the arcades), original title screens, arcade demos and original character select screens are fully intact. I had better time with that collection then what I got on GOG. just keep in mind the metal slug anthology 2007 (called 'PC collection') it's not the easiest game to get working 100% on modern pc and there's no screen resolution options, pretty much a straight up arcade experience. Just stay away from modern Dotemu ports.

recommend this game to all who need a good game to chill out with! try it!

That's it... The title says it all. Anyhow if anyone wants the Teamwork Achievement let me shoot me a request and message me.

Basically, Metal Slug in all of its glory and ''pure'' arcade gameplay: beautiful graphics, straightforward story and action packed gameplay. No more, no less. Plus, there's net play and leaderboard score, if that's your sort of thing! So, a classic upgraded just enough to not lose its OG feeling. Afficionado or not, this is gem is truly recommended!

Poor optimalization tho but still Amazing
