Partly, itвЂ™s SNK PlaymoreвЂ™s laudable unwillingness to buckle under the weight of an industry that wants ragdoll physics for breakfast with pixel shaders for lunch, and partly itвЂ™s just that theyвЂ™re bloody good fun. The run and gun mechanics of a Metal Slug game are just about the oldest old boy from the old school of arcade gaming around, but there are reasons why theyвЂ™re still going.

So bless Patrick MooreвЂ™s shining head and wonky eye that someoneвЂ™s finally got round to porting a game from this series onto a mainstream console that can handle it (no the Saturn wasnвЂ™t mainstream and no the PSone couldnвЂ™t handle it). The AES may well have played host to some of the best and brightest arcade style games ever coded, but I remember as a boy (and I have a photographic memory), each game cost the equivalent of a developed nationвЂ™s space program and the system itself was only obtainable if you owned at least three properties in Monaco. Are you rich? Do you lie on a mattress stuffed with fifty-pound notes each night? Do you light the most expensive Cuban tobacco wrapped up in torn-off strips of PicassoвЂ™s early sketches, lit from a perpetual fire fuelled by your own private oil well? Do you employ legions of specially bred Russian supermodels to dictate your correspondence to you through the medium of dance and/or Pictionary (whichever tickles your whimsy)? Do you think that poor people were invented by the same criminal Labour government that put fluoride in the water? I mean, they canвЂ™t really exist, can they?ДЄnswer yes to all of these questions and the chances are you could already own a copy of Metal Slug 3 on your Neo Geo AES.
