So whenever I ride a ferryboat they have a small SNK arcade machine, so I've gotten to play just about every Metal Slug, and now I want to take one home with me And raise it and feed it and. For PS or PS2 (Japanese), what's the best MS, and the best MS conversion for home? I'm gonna see those little bearded hostages running around in my dreams till I get a copy!
edit: madness
Metal Slug 3 is arguably the best in the saga, and MS1 and MS2 are quite good, but after a change of development team, MS4 and MS5 turned out very poor. There's also Metal Slug X, some kind of remix of Metal Slug 2, that wasn't necessary, really.
MS1 for PS1 got a quite bad port, with annoying loading times in the middle of levels, but MSX turned out better, but still not arcade prefect. Metal Slug 3, on the other hand, got a very good port in PS2 and OF COURSE you should get it, it's one of the best games to be produced by SNK, long, hard and epic.

If paying for credits isn't an issue, I'd recommend MS3. Apart from some tedious space-shooter parts in the absurdly long final mission, the game is thoroughly enjoyable, IMO. It's by far the biggest MS (especially with all the alternate routes and whatnot), and there's lots of fun stuff in it. I'd be more likely to play Metal Slug X in an arcade (unlike 3, beating it in the arcade is actually feasible :P), but on the whole I really do prefer MS3. Slugs 4 and 5 are mostly embarrassing, sadly... :/
As far as home versions go, I know Metal Slug 3's on Xbox in the US (a PAL version is coming eventually), but I'm pretty sure the PS2 version is only available in Japan. Whether it's a good conversion or not, I wouldn't know, really.

Apparenly I'm the only person who liked MS4...
MS3 is without a doubt the best game in the series, but I had a lot of fun playing MS4. For some reason it just seems more fast-paced than the other games (maybe it's the music in the first stage). I even like the new characters. They seem to fit right in with the MS gang. I would say that MS4 is definitely better than MS5, which was also fun, but way too short and easy.
All I'm saying is that you should give it a chance, despite all the nay-saying. There isn't a bad game in the MS series, in my opinion (Excluding the ones for NGPC. I haven't played them, so I don't know).
Agree. I would say 4 is pretty decent too. Every Metal Slug is a great game on its own, if you don't compare it to it being in a whole series (of course, it would be hard not to compare in the first place.)
But if you really only have resources to get just one, then it is definitely going to be MS 3.
