Whereas MS3 swarms you with enemies all the time, enemies come packing lots of health (even the standard Morden soldiers can "soak" a few bullets before going down). Enemies almost always come from the right, times where you just walk into a spawn zone and get swarmed are rare (and are mainly in the final mission), so a little observation goes farther. Most enemies die in one shot, enemies that don't like tanks usually have highly-telegraphed attacks. MS1 is definitely more "tough but fair" than the later games. Kurooka in the first Metal Slug), who is also a producer at PlatinumGames, revealed on Twitter to a user he worked on Metal Slug and GunForce 2 (known as Geo Storm in Japan). Although details were never delved, Inaba stated he did programming work on a Samurai Shodown title and was unhappy with his experience at SNK. Kazuma Kujo, credited as KIRE-NAG in the first Metal Slug, went on to form Granzella Games after leaving both Irem and Nazca, but declined to comment on the status and identity of key staff members including lead designer Meeher and graphic artists Akio and Susumu.Ītsushi Inaba, formerly of Capcom and producer at PlatinumGames, was a member of Nazca (after leaving Irem) doing income management, then SNK after its acquisition, rekindling his interest in video game development. The only work he is credited for since Metal Slug 3 is Yuusha 30 and may be working as a freelance musician and sound producer. He was interviewed for the Metal Slug Complete Sound Box released in 2008. He was considered part of SNK's in-house band, the "Shinsekai Gakkyoku Zatsugidan". One known key member is composer Takushi Hiyamuta (credited with names such as "HIYA!" and "HIYA-UNIT"), responsible for composing nearly every game listed here, in whole or part (he did not compose for Kaitei Daisensou also, although he did not compose for R-Type II, he did for Super R-Type). Nine of the original Nazca staff (including Meeher, Akio, Susumu and development manager Kawai) answered questions from an undated text interview that was translated and included in Metal Slug Anthology.īecause the common use of pseudonyms in arcade titles to hide identities, details of its staff remains scarce. The game was a success, and SNK, the owner of the Neo-Geo MVS system, decided to assimilate the entire Nazca staff into itself, so they would continue to create the Metal Slug games are now under SNK. When the ex-Irem programmers created Nazca, they decided to create a new game based on Gunforce 2, thus creating Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001.

Some of the sound effects are the same as Metal Slug, such as the enemies grunts, which are the same grunts used by the Rebels. Both games use the same graphic designs, even with similar explosion effects. Your mission was to rescue prisoners, altough here they are women instead of bearded, starving POW's. You had a variety of weapons to pick, you could ride a good amount of vehicles such as tanks, jeeps, walker robots and a hovercraft. Gunforce 2 had many elements which were borrowed by Metal Slug. I ask for help - I'm too much of a metal slug fan and won't get this away easily.Metal Slug was made by the developers of Irem Corporation/Nazca who had joined SNK during that time. Someone on the forum said he managed to get Metal Slug 5 to work and someone other said he had a dump of Metal slug 3. I suspected the graphics are encrypted too, but tried decrypting them in WinKawaks and they still look garbled (you can't understand what's happening on the screen. Now woth metal slug 5 the problem is bizzare - all the graphics are garbled. It says the file can't be read and I can't dump the graphics. Now it loads, but still says that the rom is encrypted and I have to dump the graphics manually. I followed some instructions on the forum to decrypt the graphics properly (with winkawaks I achieved that), found a decrypted P ROM and merged the thing together.
