I have 2 and 4.
I play both, but when my nephews come over to play MS4 is on most often.
It might be cause I get pretty far with one life and they want to do the same.

Metal Slug 3 dominating the poll is totally unsurprising because it's definitely the best one out of all of them.

I love the first one.

Any level where I can get turned into something else i.e. a mummy does my swede in!

The best is X just for universal appeal without the bugginess of Metal Slug 1 and the slowdown of 2 and the picky aspects of 3 and the lazy recycled content of 4 and the total shit music and level design of 5.

Personal favorite is definitely 3 though. It is THE swansong of SNK Corporation, being one of the last games they made before closing down. I wish I could comment on KOF 2000 in that regard, but I don't own it still.

If you used google to look up unfamiliar slang, you'd understand that he
likes the first game because you can't turn into a mummy.

I bet my being wrong really made your night. Stalking my posts finally paid off for you.

4 is more Metal Slug than 3.

X is a horrible bastardization.

1 is the only one you really need anyway.

I find it strange that 4 has at least one vote. Not that I hate the game, I like it a lot in fact, but thinking it's the best one it's a stretch.

i find that over time people go to their least favourite from a franchise and enjoy it a lot more than they initially did because their favourites have been overplayed.

4 has a shooter like medal scoring system, more grunts as enemies than you will find in any game outside of 1, and is an overall good game.

It just looks and sounds like shit.

3 sucks but looks pretty.

I spent a few weeks this year finally getting the 1CC in MS1, and I have to say I prefer it over the others, even after spending so much time with it. It's pure and streamlined, no fat, no nonsense. I love the other Nazca releases, but 1still takes it.
