Submission #3040: X2poet's Arcade Metal Slug: Super Vehicle - 001 in 12:10.23

A scrolling 'run-and-gun' platform game for one or two players, Metal Slug is a humorous parody of war and specifically of World War II and the Nazis.

The game features six enemy-packed levels, referred to as 'missions'. Players start the game armed only with a pistol, but extra weapons can be picked up and used for greater firepower. Also, at certain points during a level players will find an unused 'Super Vehicle-001' - or Metal Slug - tank which can be entered and driven. The Metal Slug is slow-moving but has very powerful weapons. If the Slug takes too many hits it will break down and start to flash, the player must then quickly exit the vehicle before it explodes. The enemy troops also have vehicles at their disposal, such as tanks, boats and helicopters.

The levels are littered with bearded hostages who, when rescued, award players with either points bonuses (in the form of medals) or weapon power-ups. Available weapons are Heavy Machine Gun, Flame Shot, Rocket Launcher and Shotgun. Hand grenades are also available.

Each level ends with at least one large enemy 'Boss' vehicle that takes many hits to destroy. Once the boss has been destroyed, bonus points are awarded for each prisoner rescued. Further bonus points are awarded if the player's Metal Slug vehicle has survived the boss battle.

I changed my tactics in the last stage. Because I ignore that piking up S must wait it turn to the pistal. So it can get the 30 S and keep it for the last boss. For most people who like no death,I take it in this one.Although level 5 was slower. It's faster than my past version.

feos: Added YouTube module. Enjoy this time ;)

DarkKobold: Claimed.

DarkKobold: Yay, an acceptable version of Metal Slug! I think it is clear the audience prefers a no-death version.
