Yeah you can get about 22 if you just keep going all the way to the edge of the screen after the boss changes forms.

Once I picked 20 or something like that.
Do you get any extra bonus or something like that if you kill the boss with the chicken (2nd prisioner) on the screen?

What is your highest score on this game using all 5 credits or if you have a bios chip fitted just finishing the game :)

Hey Buster, What's the dificulty level you play ?

How can you make 4,7 million if you switch the joystick position? just curious.

the Player 1 score will not acumulate with the 2nd player score! ;)

Or is it your personal record ?

It took me 4 credits to finish it

5 lives per credit and it was set on level 2

I believe when you switch controllers your points are set to zero

I lost my first life on the way to the mother ship on level 5

Loadsa prisoners

its the first time i have finished it with less than 5 credits - the guys that can do this game on 1 credit must have a great score since there are loads of prisoners on the last level

btw on the emu i can get 5.4 million

Yes, but to get that score you must choose the best routes.

And remember, not only the POW's gives you tons of points. in the 4th level you take the sub route ( Drill Slug ), there's a lot of frogs and teddy bears that gives you 50000 points, POWs only gives you 10000.

Level 1 - use the boat
level 2 - go into the cave and use the mammoth-slug, when you reach the slug shoot the wall - loads of coins
level 3 - 2nd wall (via the ostri-slug)
level 4 - dont go upstairs after the camel-slug drop down the hole to the star-ship troopers brain bugs level shoot up every opening to get loads of 50000 dolls and frogs etc
level 5 - shoot all the first red aliens so they destroy the rest and their is loads of prisoners hidden in level 5

And don't know if you know also this trick but, In level 2, when you destroy the Snowman cave door, don't get inside. wait 2/3 seconds and then 2 Pow's will get their asses out of the cave by their own feet. more 2x 10000pts!!!!! :D

The level 4 also have an alternative route, the one you fight the mummies. I have to check wich one makes more points. If that one or the Dhrill Slug route.

I have just tried right now all the routes to see wich one gives you a better score.

I just have to say Buster, that in level 3 you have to forget about the ostrich slug route.

Take the submarine route. but of course you'll have to destroy everything that moves and don't move! you'll finish the round with +/- 50000 more points than the ostrich slug route. ;) <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />

The ostri-slug route is very easy compared with the other route

Better chance to get to the end will all prisoners intact and defeat the boss - imo

Yes, but I personally don't lose any life in any of these 2 routes. I prefer the ostrich slug route because it's faster to finish the round.

The Submarine route is super easy if you keep the most enemy-chasers you can. you don't have to use them in the submarine sewer. then use them wisely.

you won't die too easy.

LOL, I'm so bad at Metal Slug, but I'm pretty good at Metal Slug 2...man, it's a great series...

By the way, how the heck do you get past those darn subway cars in the New York stage in MS2 without losing a life or even a credit? It's so hard! By the first one, i'm out of grenades! <img src="graemlins/help.gif" border="0" alt="[Help]" />
