I'm getting tired of this mess...

How to recognize a 1st run Metal Slug 3 from a 2nd run one?

Is it the gold warning sticker? Or is the page near to the soldier healing himslef (last page)?

Please, LET ME KNOW!!!

As i told you before, the gold warning sticker should be only in the first run... anyway the definitive difference is in the manual:
The page near the wounded soldier... 1st run have a page full of japanese text and phone numbers, while 2nd run has a blank memo page...
That's it!

Some 2nd run carts have the gold warning sticker, but the manual, in the 2nd, is always with a blank page...
Bottom line: if you have that page, near the wounded soldier is 2nd run... or someone swapped the manuals in your copy (very unlikely, though)

Ok, someone please get this straight:

Is the page with phone numbers directly adjacent to the soldier and have SNK supporters club written on there? My 2 pages before that are memo pages.

HELP!!!

Is this page you're talking about right next to the soldier page and have Eri on an ostrich in the background?

Ok, the reason I'm hurringing this issue is because I have an auction for a first run Slug 3 that I'm not so sure about anymore!

It has the gold warning sticker

Here's the last page of the manual:

And the 2 pages before the last 2 pages:

As a second hand buyer, I was actually a little afraid to check my manual. I mean, not like it really matters, but part of me didn't want to know the truth. I checked. Then I played MS3 for a while. I feel like the game really is great, but my heart remains with the alien-less MS1.
