Cabinet Information

This game is housed in a Neo-Geo MVS cabinet. The monitor bezel can contain a sticker describing the guns and bonus items. Mainly, a title card appears in a Neo-Geo MVS marquee. The title card has the Metal Slug tank with a picture of a sneering Marco Rossi, one of the two player characters. The words "METAL SLUG: Blast away and go, go, go!" appear across it.

Cheats, Tricks and Bugs

Level 1: Rescue some POWs behind the waterfalls. Level 2: Shoot the parachuting bazooka men with the Flame Shot.

Conversion

This game can be converted to any other Neo-Geo MVS game.

Game Introduction

In this game, you control one of two soldiers, Marco Rossi and Tarma Roving. Your mission is to defeat the evil General Morden and his powerful army. The last level makes you defeat a giant soldier.

Game Play

You have to defeat the General's evil army. After you rescue a hostage, they either give you a bonus item or one of the great guns: Heavy Machine Gun, Flame Shot, Rocket Launcher, and the Shotgun. After you complete the last ending, there is a movie-like ending.

Miscellaneous

In Metal Slug 2, Marco & Tarma have two female soldiers joining them: Phio Germi and Eri Kasamoto. Liscensor: Nazca Corporation

Of the 57,098 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 66 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - There is one VAPS member currently looking for Metal Slug. There are 4 VAPS members looking for Metal Slug board sets.

For Sale - There is one VAPS member with a Metal Slug machine for sale. There are 1 VAPS members with extra Metal Slug circuit boards for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Trivia

It is unbelievable how much graphic detail and funny slapstick animation the programmers of Nazca packed into this game.
