I am now the proud owner of every Neo-Geo Metal Slug game!

I agree, I have a Metal Slug 1 conversion, Metal Slug 2 MVS on the way in the mail, Metal Slug X MVS, Metal Slug 3 and 4 are original US AES games. Once I get the shock boxes I'll print inserts for MS 2 and X and they will look damn nice all lined up on the shelf.

what's the latest word on the possibility of MS3 on DC??
anyone know?</strong><hr></blockquote>

as awesome as that would be, there is no word of it at all, and it was only just a fancy thought that became a rumor. No evidence to support it.

MS1 on the saturn is awesome.

get the PSX MSX and play it on the PS2 and you're set.

I agree MS1 on the Saturn is badass, any nut who says that ports are lame and goes and buys the 2,000$ MS1 is a nutcase IMO.

umm, well, I don't know about that. No one has bought the homecart just because they want to play it in a long time. It's a collectible, and not to be confused as anything else. Now, some would be able to say that the MVS is superior, and maybe it is, but combat school and the ram card is my reason for liking the Saturn version more.

Anyhow, MS1 on the PSX is the bad port. MSX is okay.

That's where it all starts. When you get a well paying job, you may find yourself with a shelf full of homecarts and not a shred of guilt. I say that because I was once in your shoes.

Sorry for spamming your thread dmhawkmoon, I just had to say that.

No problem, I'm just glad that after that first response people actually started talking about things that didn't involve ridiculing me.
I know what you mean about RS. I thought I was paying loads when I got mine (well, I was, but you know), but now I wouldn't hesitate as much to pay that much after spending $300 on Neo-Geo games. At least I now have a job all year round. Making an average of $150 a week working part time at a supermarket. It's not bad work at all cause I work the evening shift and I'm the only one in my department at that time. So if I am feeling like shit I can just take a few extra breaks and no one will notice. I don't pay any taxes or bills, so all that money either goes to the bank or to pay for games. Yeah, you might say "oh you're a spoiled brat, you don't pay the bills, your MOMMY AND DADDY are paying!" Well, it's by choice that I don't have my own car, and by choice that I still live at home. I want to save up tens of thousands of dollars before I invest in anything major like a car or apartment of my own. I'm only 21 and my girlfriend is only a senior in high school, so I'm not a loser yet... That is, it's not uncool to be living with my parents at this stage of the game.

I dunno, Charlie. When I originally bought my first US Metal Slug, it was because I wanted to play the game at home on a home system setup. The Phantom-1 had not been unveiled yet and the only existing convertors were the side input ones that I did not trust. After numerous experiences with third-party accessories for other systems I used to have, it was evident that they frequently malfuctioned or caused defects to the original hardware. I was determined to not have any converted bootlegs contaminate my system. The homecart seemed like the best choice considering my impatience with the CD system and the lack of a dedicated MVS setup that had cosmetic and functional appeal equal to the home cart system.

Sh*t, if the Metal Slug home cart was only a $200 game, I'd still have it and play it. However, seeing that some people are willing to pay $2800 for it, it's an overpriced luxury item that had to be sacrificed so that my rent could be paid on time
