You begin simply, with just your soldier, on foot, equipped with a basic pistol. Plot plays a pretty insignificant role once the action starts, though, and you're more concerned with blasting everything in sight than the reason why you're doing it. It's up to two lone soldiers, Marco and Tarma, to storm the Rebellion's strongholds, recover the stolen Slugs, and ultimately take out the leader orchestrating all the madness. As Metal Slug opens, we find that the Rebellion has just struck another crippling blow against the Regular Army by invading their top-secret weapons research facility and making off with the prototypes for a new series of tanks (the titular Metal Slugs). Metal Slug tells the tale of a world at war as two military factions - the Regular Army and the Rebellion - are fighting for global supremacy. Metal Slug was just a blast to play, especially cooperatively with a friend, and the formula of intense action mixed with humorously excellent sprite-work quickly gave rise to a long-running series of sequels. Developed by SNK, the game established itself as a hit in the company's Neo Geo arcade cabinets in the '90s with its incredible visual style, tons of explosions, outrageous enemies and weapon options, and, most of all, the fact that it never took itself seriously. It is, essentially, one of the most cartoony and over-the-top run-and-gun action games ever made. Some of you might not yet be familiar with Metal Slug at all.
