    Don't get the PS2 metal slug anthology, the game runs in semi-slowmo.
    Computer specifications:
    Windows 10 Pro x64 | Intel Core i7 @ 2.66GHZ | Asus P6T Motherboard | 6GB DDR3 RAM | Integrated Sound | Nvidia Geforce 560 Ti 2048MB PCI-E | Corsair AX760 Power Supply | Thermaltake Armor+ MX case

    Metal Slug is best played on MAME.

    All the time? Because the arcade versions themselves suffer slowdown at certain points. There is a noticable difference in them when running with an overclocked CPU.

    If you're looking for a sideview explorer title, I could recommend Maze of Galious for MSX. This is real MSX though, not La-Mulana (another good one)'s "looks like MSX".

    Also, on the subject of Duke Nukem, also get Duke Nukem II.

    How has only one person in this topic mentioned Contra? Contra 4 is especially good.

    All the time, BUT it could be that the games are 60hz and the PAL version runs them at 50hz...

    Because he said "like Metroid" and not Side Scrolling Platform game. Otherwise I would have.

    Franpa, I didn't think about that because I don't have to deal with PAL. :p Even in PAL areas, maybe MS Anthology supports 60hz mode. If not you can always import.

    But then he mentioned essentially a Shoot Em' Up in the same paragraph Contra is also a lot like Metroid, only more linear and harder But for sure, it has a lot of the same elements - crazy jumps, vertical platforming, and a variety of weapons

    They're both good. :p Though to be fair, the wall-jumping was the clincher. ;-p Seriously, who doesn't love total freedom in any game.
