Metal Slug – Super Vehicle-001 is a legendary run-and-gun shooter developed by Nazca Corporation and SNK, brought to the PlayStation. Famous for its highly detailed pixel art, frantic action, and distinct sense of humor, the game lets players control soldiers Marco Rossi and Tarma Roving as they battle General Morden's rebel army. It stands as an undisputed classic of the 2D arcade action genre.
How to Play
Your objective is to survive side-scrolling stages filled with enemy troops, vehicles, and massive bosses while rescuing captured POWs. The traditional PlayStation controls use the D-pad for movement and aiming, Cross to jump, Square to shoot, and Circle or Triangle to throw grenades. In the browser emulator, these usually map to the arrow keys for movement, with Z, X, C, and S handling your primary actions.
Tips
- Rescuing prisoners grants weapon upgrades like the Heavy Machine Gun or Shotgun, but losing a life resets your rescued POW count and score bonus.
- Entering and exiting the SV-001 tank gives you brief invincibility framesโuse this trick to dodge otherwise unavoidable boss attacks.
- Use your knife for close-quarters combat; it scores more points and saves ammunition for your heavier weapons.
