Has anyone here ever played any games from the Metal Slug series?  

They're pretty nice 32 bit side scrolling shooter types of games and are fairly challenging to boot.  I've only played the arcade version of Metal Slug 2 (before they removed the arcade machine at work) and I have Metal Slug Advance for my GBA.  I wanted to get Metal Slug X for the PS1, but I never got around to it.   So far, I have yet to beat either game, so I have no idea how they end. ^_^;
Yea I played it. Very addictive. I got the Metal Slug X some time back. Maybe I go find the PS2 version.
I play metal slug 123 and metal slug X on an arcade emulator, Occasionaly I play them on the net with other people on a server named Keilera I think it would be cool to play co-op with you on metal slug somtime Silver :)
I didn't know you could play Metal Slug online with others.  Sure, I'd live to play with you some time, Winter!  I just hope the server runs smooth.  I've  netplayed other games on the SNES9X and it was frustratingly choppy.
it worked pretty stable with me and my comp sucks lol but yeah we should try that somtime ill send you some fiels to get you started whenever you can spare the time :)
Ah that's cool... But wait, didn't you get a new computer a while back?

Anyway, I guess we just have to pick a date that'll work for the both of us.  I'll be going back to school next week so it may be a tad tricky.  But it'll more than likely be on the weekend, maybe a Sunday night. *nods*  Say, does the net play work with a USB controller?
yeah it does the emulator itself works with a usb controller and can run many games :)
In that case, I'll definitely have to give the net play a try one night.  Can you email me the links to the emulator and game, so I'll be ready for when we play together? :)
oh dude, the Metal slug games rock, id even like to get the Xbox game myself :D as for online play on the PC, that sounds awesome, i may have to find me the proper emulator unless Winter has a link for it
Just Im me on AOl Winterwinstar81 :)  and ill send em through there Ill send you the emulator and ill show you a nice reliable site to get you games on
Hmm, perhaps we could all play together.  Or take turns (like in the old school Nintendo days).  

I was a bit disappointed to find out that the MS game was only coming out on the Xbox.  But then they released something for the GBA so that made me feel pretty content.  Now that I'm done with Fire Emblem I can go back to it. ;)
