Today I beat it in an arcade in Columbia, Missouri with 53 credits. Difficulty 4. Is this suitable, or do I suck really bad? How many credits did it take all of you to beat Metal Slug 3.

Quite a few people can one credit it. I just recently bought it and can only get to the fourth level boss on one credit. After that, the game just fucking owns me.

53 credits ??

Do you actually play the game or do sleep on it ?

On Mvs mode I don't know, but at least in Normal mode I can beat it in one life.

Yeah... I know I had to start in Easy mode, but with time you become a master of the game.

One word for your success : Patterns. wink

It takes me like 3 credits and theyre all used on the final level :/

anyway onto you...

If its your first time playing it or even better playing a slug then its certainly understandable.

But if not...dear god oh_no

Well at least we know Metal Slug is doing its quarter munching job in the arcade wink

Really though like most other Slugs I do fine until the 5th mission, 4th mission in 3, then the last mission destroys my credit count. I think personal best is high teens...

It was my first time playing an MS. I didn't lose a credit until third stage tho :)

Yeah, I stopped paying attention, by the last level, people were crowding around the machine and kinda cheering me on. The arcade stayed open an extra half hour. I was out of there at 11:30 pm

Some of the credits were from the begining when my friend started playing, but he quit, so I had to play a 2 person game alone

I'm sorry, but thats pretty crummy. On a home system you only get 5 credits and its very doable, as proven by Atrophyed, but he's just a Metal Slug nut :p

Dude, 53 credits = $28 in quarters or $56 if its 50 cents a credit. 53 credits is really poor and I didn't have to play my homecart 10+ times to beat it on 5 credits.

I'm sorry, man, what do you want us to say? You're an absolutely terrible gamer by anyone's standards if you used 53 credits, first time or not.
