Released in 1999, this Neo Geo classic fixed the slowdown, added new enemy placements, and gave us more explosions, more aliens, and more absurdity than ever before.</p><p>We dive into the pixel-perfect mayhem, from desert ambushes and mummy-infested ruins to high-speed train chases and UFO shootouts. With its hand-drawn sprites, legendary soundtrack, and slapstick violence, Metal Slug X isn’t just a run-and-gun—it’s a playable cartoon with a rocket launcher.</p><p>🎮 Tune in as we break down the missions, uncover hidden paths, and ask: is this the definitive Metal Slug experience?</p>","author_name":"Callum Ewing & Billy Ewing"}
