The revisited version of Metal Slug 2 added a whole lot of new content including more powerful weapons, new enemies to face, more enemies in every stage, mixed music, and the obese transformation, in which the player becomes fat and slow, but their weapons and ammo do too, with the added benefit of being much more powerful than their original versions. And so, Metal Slug became Metal Slug 2, and eventually, that sequel had a revisited version, simply titled Metal Slug X. Metal Slug X was indeed an extreme game, and we're not just talking about the countless coins or tokens needed to beat the game or the fact that by level 3 hordes of enemies saturated the screen making it almost impossible to give a step without facing a bullet or a grenade, we're talking about the new content added to the original game. But it didn’t stop there, for NeoGeo dominated the scene, and if they had a successful franchise, they would exploit it for years to come. Nothing's better fuel for a kid’s internal Rambo than a classic dieselpunk Run n’ Gun game full of weird humor.

If any of this sounds familiar to you, then you may have heard of a little game series called Metal Slug.

Remember the good old days when you spent half of your allowance in the arcade? Perhaps your trip down memory lane will take you to the image of the local bully hugging the machines for hours, the blisters on your fingers after a long gaming session, the nagging of your parents for spending “too much time with those games,” the eternal pursuit for change or the iconic NeoGeo music playing in the background of the place.
