If the Slug takes too many hits it will break down and start to flash, the player must then quickly exit the vehicle before it explodes. The Metal Slug is slow-moving but has very powerful weapons. Also, at certain points during a level players will find an unused 'Super Vehicle-001' - or Metal Slug - tank which can be entered and driven. Players start the game armed only with a pistol, but extra weapons can be picked up and used for greater firepower.
The game features six enemy-packed levels, referred to as 'missions'. A scrolling 'run-and-gun' platform game for one or two players, Metal Slug is a humorous parody of war and specifically of World War II and the Nazis. published 27 years ago: Metal Slug - Super Vehicle-001 © 1996 Nazca.
