Sure, Metal Slug 3 is an instant starter – no faffing about other than choosing a character and getting stuck into the shooter action. My internet connection is better than average, but not enough to rely on streaming, I opted to download it and have a ‘quick game’. There’s no real reason why I couldn’t have got this for the PlayStation – even the Wii.Ĭut to the chase, and I saw that Metal Slug 3 was available to download via PS Now.

Needless to say, there have been so many ports, but they weren’t actively promoted in my neck of the woods and I kind of… forgot about it. What kid owns a Neo Geo? I’m sure my first experience was in my local arcade. Y’see, I came to the franchise quite late and because I was priced out of playing it. To say I’m a big fan of the Metal Slug series would be wrong.

I’ll be tackling the PS4 version via PS Now.

For the latter, we have Metal Slug 3, originally on the NeoGeo back in the 90s – now on multiple platforms. 2D side-scrollers are mostly dead, other than some decent developer folk revitalising the genre with the likes of Cuphead or the occasional revisited game from yesteryear.
