To begin with this game was designed to squize your pockets dry in the arcades, so be prepared that you'll get a lot unfair moments, but never the less the game is good for 1-2 evenings, but there is some performance issues.
Metal Slug is a run-and-gun from the arcade era, and it's pretty straightforward. You run, shoot, kill enemies and collect special weapons. It's farily short too, I finished it in about 1 hour, but it's also fairly challenging, so if you like this kind of game, it will certainly give you a few hours of fun. The pixelated graphics are really good, animations are smooth, and the music keeps you pumped up and ready to kill. I played it on linux and it worked flawlessly.
The game does slow down at some points when there is a lot happening on the screen, I believe this is intentional, to emulate the feeling of playing it on the original arcade machines, where it also slowed down, but I understand people being annoyed by it, even though it doesn't bother me personally. You can always play it on another emulator if that does bother you.
