Shack's Arcade Corner - Metal Slug

It's time to pick up your favorite weapon for this week's Shack's Arcade Corner. This week's game is the run-and-gun classic, Metal Slug.

Join our own Greg Burke, as he travels back to 1996 for this arcade staple from SNK Playmore. Metal Slug is one of the best run-and-gun shooters of its day, spawning legions of sequels, remakes, and spin-offs. And why not? It had a large variety of power-ups, vehicles, and was tough as nails. It provided a challenge level that satisfied any 90s kid and it's one that still holds up to this day.
