Hi gals and guys this week we're doing a doubble feature again (we've done it once before with Raguy / Magician Lord). But this week we will be doing Metal Slug 2 and Metal Slug X. There are some differnces to the games mainly which order you get to fight the bosses and ofcourse the wellknown slowdowns of MS2 are history in MSX. So which game will you post a score in first? Two games - Two Scoreboards...Good luck!

Metal Slug 2 / Metal Slug X Discussion thread:
http://www.neogeo...post_30364

The rules:
* Play whichever version you like: NEO GEO MVS / NEO GEO AES / NEO GEO CD / EMULATOR
* Difficulty: MVS - level 4 / AES - MVS setting
* Lives: Default setting
* Credits: 1
* Multiple runs as training is of course allowed. Also if you manage to surpass your previous score then just post it and I'll update the first post.
* No cheating with any kind of UNI-BIOS is allowed.
* No cheating in Emulators such as autofire, Pausing or infinite lives are allowed
(or any other effect you can use in emulators to make the game easier, score higher etc)
* Photographic proof is not needed as I believe that we are all honorable people. If you like though you can attach a photo or a mini-clip with your highscore.
* State which platform you played this game on.
* The goal: Highest score possible.
There will be no closing dates for the different HSC threads. They will always be there ready to accept new challengers. But I will start to award the winner a medal after the first week of challenge. And as I said the challenge will always be there.

OK so my stomach is full after having some food so I decided to give METAL SLUG 2 a go and this is my best run today. I finished the first two stages 'PERFECT' With all the prisoners rescued. I finished the first stage with the tank intact. Man I love this game

Nice score Priest. I had a few tries at Metal Slug 2 and although I'm pretty happy with my score it wasn't quite enough to beat you. This game seems a lot easier to me than Metal Slug X.

Welcome to the MS2 scoreboards Merlin. Good job
Yea to me MS2 is a lot easier than MSX, it might be because I´ve played MS2 a lot more an I´m more used to the gameplay in this one and which order the bosses appear. Did you manage to finish a stage with every rescued POW?
I think I´ll give MSX a try too but I expect a lower score...

Thanks Priest. If I remember correctly I did finish the first two stages with all the POWs. I think I can definitely do better so I'm going to have another go.
Nice score Zak.  |

I managed a bit of an improvement but still nowhere near Zak's score. The first 4 stages are all pretty easy really but I'm not as good at scoring in the game.

I had a go at Metal Slug X. The results weren't very impressive but at least I tried. I'll definitely try and improve on this though. It really does seem a lot harder than Metal Slug 2. I do have a screenshot but since it's such a low score didn't think it was worth posting really.

I had a go at Metal Slug X and this is how I did:
Priest: Score: 1,122,990. , Character: Marco Rossi, Stage: 3 (railroad) died by the "miniboss" Played on: MVS , Difficulty level MVS.
MSX is really more difficult already in the early stages. I only finished the first stage with all the POW rescued and with the "slug" intact. I finished the second stage with only one rescued POW and no vehicle. I got to the middle of the third stage, up to the boss that you usually face att the end of the first stage in MS2.
On the second stage the tomb (second part) you can shoot the "eyepaintings" on the wall of the tower to receive "gems". You can also uncover a bat made of fire and if you collect it you get 30,000. points.
On the railroad stage (3) at one point you get to jump between traincarts and if you jump at the right time you are awarded with 50,000. points.
...A litle help I discovered to boost my rather poor score
...O yea, Scoreboard, hall of fame and medals are updated.

So priest, any know how about the highest score being different from slug x versions? Maybe AES mode highest score is different from the MVS score or something, alot of you guys scores in the screenshots is in first place, thats really weird..
Are there different rom realeses or different MVS/AES realeses, where the highest rank is changed, the "SNK" score in my version is 1,682,169? |
