Just had my first go; bloody good shooty fun!

You get to ride a laser spitting camel and it even stops to drink some water.

Wonder where they got that idea from?

Some screenies:

Agreed PVB.

All the Metal Slug games I've played are great. Loads of excellent little touches. 2D gaming at it's best.

When I've got time I want to play them all throught to the end.

If you haven't played the rest in the series and are enjoying the 2nd I recommend getting hold of the others.

Agreed. Top games, all of them.
Bloody hard though

I was >< close to nominating it for next season.
But I didn't.

I have the rom zip for Metal Slug - Super Vehicle (1996) [mslug.zip] in my roms folder, but MAME32 doesn't seem to recognise it.

I even downloaded it (12.5MB) from other sites and it still isn't showing up in the games list.

Metal Slug 4 and 5 aren't that good.

I remember nicking my uber-powerful work PC ( a Pentium 2! ) for the weekend. Me and my mate Stampy played through all of Metal Slug 2 at very respectable framerates. Toggled the dip-switches so the soldiers gushed blood ( and not spunk, as seemed to be the sanitised alternative ) and put credit after credit in through frenzied depression of the keyboard..

Gets very fucked up towards the end, as I recall. Spaceships and aliens abound, old enemies becoming temporary allies and something like 400 credits inserted so far. Class :-)

Mame seems a bit funny like that, a bug that came in a few versions ago, or possibly just with windows XP.... try deleting MAME32ui from the mame folder then re-running mame - it'll check for all the roms again and should hopefully find it (but that does mean you may need to re configure mouse and joystick settings...)

*edit*
no, wait. It's in my mame roms folder and not in the game selection.. there is a cnahce *edit* (or chance) * edit * the rom was updated, or our mame 32 is posessed by some sort of demon.

You can pick the MVS version up for 95 quid here.

Just the one game'll have to do then.

if you go into the All Games section in MAME32 and double click Metal Slug, perhaps it'll give you an error message to explain why it's not recognised...
