Metal Slug Anthology

In 1996, an arcade legend was born with the release of Metal Slug Super Vehicle 001 on the Neo-Geo MVS Arcade system. The military-themed, side-scrolling platform game quickly became known for its sense of humour and hilarious cartoon style, mixed with extremely fluid hand-drawn animation and fast-paced two-player action. 

Metal Slug Super Vehicle 001's wild popularity meant that, based on its success, SNK would go on to develop and publish seven Metal Slug sequels. Fast forward ten years or so, and the worldwide popularity of the franchise has seen many iterations across multiple platforms through the years. 

The Metal Slug 10th Anniversary party continues with the release of this definitive collection of SNK's classic arcade franchise, featuring a whopping seven great Metal Slug titles - a worthy tribute to the days of old-school shoot-'em ups. 

Included in the collection are Metal Slugs 1 to 6 plus Metal Slug X. 

It's all here - the cartoon-style character design, the over-emphasised death animations and the amusingly ridiculous array of controllable vehicles such as turret-mounting camels, leap-frogging gun emplacements and, of course, Metal Slug itself. This time the `Ikari Warriors' - Ralf Jones and Clark Still (also familiar to fans of the KOF series) join in the action to aid Marco, Tarma, Eri and Fio in their battle with the elusive General Morden.
