An over-the-top military plot that feels like it was born out of an ’80s action flick. Graphics that look like they came straight out of Double Dragon or Streets of Rage. It may have originally been released in 2000, but it feels like a relic of an even earlier time.
This is relevant to Metal Slug 3 because it’s about as arcade-y as a game can get.
(In fact, you only need one finger, since I went to an arcade precisely once.) Consequently, I never developed much of an appreciation for arcade-style games. Even though I’m a child of the ’80s and I spent a good amount of time playing video games throughout my youth, I can count the number of times I’ve been in an arcade on one hand.
