Keep digging away, Stu-man. Give the troglodytes at the center of the Earth our regards.

Right before they hopefully toss you into a pit of lava.

How come there isn't anything about Metal Slug 3d?
Definitive my ass.

Did he cover the two NGPC games, or Metal Slug Advance?

I can confirm that Metal Slug 3D, both NGPC missions and Metal Slug Advance are all covered in the article. 1st Mission and Advance are praised, 2nd Mission less so, while even 3D gets off lightly compared to MS3.

Metal Slug Mobile Impact is also referenced.

Poor MS3. To be considered worse than MS 3D. That game was horrible.

I heard 2nd Mission was much improved over the original, though I never played it. I didn't finish the first... got to one of those parachute sections and could never get any further.

You might be right actually, I only get my info from UK retro games publications where most of the information is either stolen from wikipedia, or staff members just plain up ask people on forums for their definitive guides.

I must be wrong, I've only been playing Metal Slug for years and years, but I'd rather take the word of 90's haircut man instead because he has 36,000 videogames - and obviously knows fuck all about them.

The allegation made in Stooker's post is absolutely untrue. Clear enough?

Now, curse my memory lapse and back on the ignore list for you, troll.

Just so we're completely clear and I can prepare a grovelling apology if required, are you saying you DO NOT HAVE in your possesion, any form of electronic media which you haven't previousley purchased a license for (assuming it wasn't freeware of course)?

You better believe it!

He's got the biggest garage in the world filled to the brim with original machines/roms for all those pinball machines he has emulated versions of.

Not to mention all those fruit machines he emulated for 'fairplay 2'

unless of course, you just happene to host all those emulators for xbox and the like without actually having anything to play with it, because he wouldn't download a bundle of arcade roms for games he doesn't own, would he?

Gotta love this guy. It's an endless lollercoaster

2nd Mission is much better than First, in just about every way. It's harder, but that's not a point against, ever.

Why are they trying to make this a British vs American thing? It's not as if only Americans were voicing their opinions in this thread. We're an international forum after all.

Agreed.

This isn't about UK vs USA but the inane ramblings of a sore guy and his cronies.

Btw., I find Stu's delusion that this here is top drama very funny. 36+ pages good drama? PAKI PLEASE.

'Your sinclair' .. seriously?

Everyone knew the C64 was better, no wonder he has such poor videogame knowledge .. and taste actually.

MS3D wasn't that bad. Just thoroughly unspectacular.

I have been trying to forget that it (MS 3D) exists!
Have you played it? It's really decent. No idea why it was only released in Japan, the spoken dialogue is already in English.

What an ugly human being...

People look up to this piece of shit?

He's been caught lying on numerous occasions...

Why do people still hire him?

His big flaw was thinking he could actually beat Neo-Geo.com. We have some seriously OCD character assassins...to a fault sometimes.
