Lol at "2 can play together" because that really was a big deal. Ikari warriors 2 was good too. PT.3, not so much

I never played Ikari Warriors 3... what didn't you like about it?

It's Contra for me
Metal Slug is very dope though.
I see Ikari warriors getting love.
I also liked Mercs a lot too.

Contra is a classic. Paved the way.

But as a SERIES? Metal Slug.

I love the visuals and sound effects on metal slug.

Semi off topic but anyone ever notice the sound effects on Jah world by wu tang sounds very similar to gun cocks on metal slug ? I used to think rza sampled metal slug until I saw the movie scene he sampled and they are just part of the movie.

I don't know, I feel like contra hasn't been topped. Yes, metal slug looks better. That's not the question tho and nobody has mentioned the later contra games like contra 3 which was also dope in its own way

By all means, Contra is great. The games have always brought something new every single time(Metal Slug hasn't done this enough). Pioneering series.

I think it's more of a personal preference for me. I enjoy the art style and the gameplay a little more when it comes to Metal Slug.

Contra easily.

but MS is fun as fukk.

My college had an old MS (I think it was part 3) arcade machine, and I would burn mad quarters between classes playing that shyt

 

[datnigDASTARDLY]

Contra was always the goto since that's all we had growing up, but Metal Slug was the game the rich kid down the street had. Always wanted to own that shyt.

now super contra is a different story.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Contra for me. I have no nostalgic ties to Metal Slug, although it's a great looking game and fun.

 

[The Guru]

Metal Slug offered more than Contra all in all. It had humor, lot of different weapons, tanks/mounts/planes.

Contra gameplay >>> Metal slug IMO. The spray gun the laser gun and level design is all contra. Metal slug is a great alternative...
