The best version of the 2nd episode

This is the best version of the 2nd episode because it fixes the slowdown problem (they are rare now). It's a great game that improve a bit the first one. My score: 8.8

Colorful masterpiece

Non-stop action, terrific soundtrack, constant variation with enemies and locations. It really is an excellent game, there is not much to add. The game runs on a emulator that replicates how the arcade machines were running it. In other words, it will slow down/stutter in certain levels.

Best metal slug

I recently played a bit of Metal Slug 1, X, and 3. X is definitely my favorite. Best music, maps, balance.

Classic Game

It's just like I remember however the frame rate drops considerably when their are alot of sprites on the screen. Otherwise it's classic Metal Slug.
