 MetalSlugX
The best thing about Metal Slug X are its huge, screen-filling bosses which take dozens of hits to destroy and make for some extremely impressive adversaries and are a pleasant throwback to the more innocent Genesis and SNES days of a decade ago.
MSX is no exception to this rule and introduces new playable characters; there are now four in all with some old favorites joining new faces.
However, Metal Slug X is extremely hard to beat – giving it a high replay value, especially for those willing to make the effort to go through the game honestly without cheating or leaning on the continues too much.

While some new Slug vehicles were introduced into that game, you only got to use them in one particular area each; for example, the Mecha Slug was only used to defeat the boss on stage 2, which was a crying shame as it was very cool.

Slugs come in different forms depending on your environment--there's the tank, the jet, the camel, and the robot suit.
Controlling the slugs can take time to master, as the D-pad controls your movement as well as the aiming of the vehicle's main cannon; however, the carnage you can inflict with these machines makes it worth the trouble.

Just as well then that Metal Slug 3 has recently made a beach landing on these shores to deal with those aforementioned arthropods, as well as a whole host of other troubles - zombies, aliens, mummies (as in the embalmed dead), killer plants and the evil forces of General Morden.
Aside from the expensive Neo-Geo originals, the only Slug game to previously get a home console release outside Japan was Metal Slug X on the PS1, which is a bit of a shame considering their quality.
For many though, Metal Slug 3 is the best in the series, is here now and at a budget price too.

Hopefully you will still have the Slug Mecha, unless you suck really badly at the game that is. The mecha will help your cause quite a bit, and even if you lose it, it still means you can take a couple of hits from the projectiles that get fired at you before you die.

The controls for the game are simple enough; square "[]" is shoot, cross "X" is jump, circle "O" is throw a grenade and triangle "/\" is unused as far as I recall.
There is no option to use the analogue stick so it is the right arrow to move to the right, left arrow to move left, up arrow to aim up and down arrow to duck.
Metal Slug is like this for a reason.
