The granddaddy of "modern" platform shooters graces the Saturn in style. Metal Slug on the Saturn is every bit as good as the original Neo Geo version.

Making use of the Saturn's 1Mbit RAM cartridge Metal Slug manages to pull off pretty much all that detailed animation and action from the Neo Geo original with only a little bit of slowdown at times which doesn't really bother you that much.

There's a total of 6 missions all being varied enough (location wise) not to bore you. The action is none stop yet not so frantic that you'll loose track of what's happening. One thing I really do enjoy about Metal Slug are all those tinny little extra animation bits that SNK had thrown in. Look closely and you'll see all manner of crazy stuff!!

The Saturn version of Metal Slug is not only a wonderful conversion but is also full of extras such as the art gallery and Combat School mode which has you performing certain tasks. All in all a wonderful game which actually deserves the high price tag it commands these days. This version I have is the CD only version without the RAM cartridge since I already own about 5 of them. The best thing about the CD only versions is that they actually have back covers and spine cards.
