I was 3-4 when I played this game , my dad thought me how to play and he played it with me and watched me played it . I requested his help on the bosses . It s one of my only memories with him as he died when I was 4. This video popped up on my feed and it made me happy as I now know which game we played together . When ever I played this he was always with me helping me .
I remember buying this game for my pirated ps1, it had the title "Metal Slug 3". I was really excited because Metal Slug 3 hadn't yet arrived to the arcades in Mexico. When I ran the game for the first time and the main screen showed up I was totally disappointed, but then after playing a few minutes I got hooked on the gameplay and understood that I'd found a treasure.
Those days will never come back unless GPT takes all over! Vintage games and retro stuff was Astronomical in 💡 ideas and creativity compared to nowdays stuff!
The devs that made Metal Slug used to work for Irem and created this game alongside Gunforce 1 and 2. Gunforce plays almost exactly like Metal Slug. Irem declined in the 90s and the devs left and joined SNK later making the Metal Slug games that we love. RIP IREM
@@NCC-0000 YES. I can't believe they are coming back from the dead. Would be nice if they find some of the old devs that made In the Hunt and Gunforce and made new games
Oh man, this game and gunforce series are unironically much better compared to MS series. Looking at the current state on how SNK treat MS franchise these days while many of the original MS devs eventually left.....
Part of IREM join Nazca, the same developers worked on R-Type, Gun Force, Gun Force 2 (Geostorm) Air Duel, Armed Police Unit Gallop, In the Hunt and the first 3 Metal Slug (also X). A part was also involved in Last Resort (NeoGeo) and Pulstar (NeoGeo).
I was awestruck when I first saw this in an arcade with all the detail and stuff going on simultaneously. Also, what a performance, I don't want my 37 minutes back.
Never ever heard of this game. And looks like a difficulty not suitable for me. Not something I'd play but I'm enjoying a lot watching. How impressed I am by the graphics!
Man this game is beautiful! Nautical games aren't a dime a dozen, and the Sunken Town level has some awesome visuals, and the Channel with all the buildings in the town blowing up...this is great stuff!
I used to have this on PC as a 6 year old... I was absolutely loving the game until this showed up... It was hard to find the ESC key with my eyes closed! 😂
I remember having this on an emulator. Such a kickass game. The sprite graphics were so crunchy and good, I absolutely loved it! Pixel art like this is what every indie game dev wishes he could make.
oh man, a Metal Slug with submarines?! how have i not heard of this? it's absolutely bursting with that same spirit and aesthetic but with all the big vehicles it feels somehow even crunchier. in true Metal Slug style every new environment just kept upping the ante and had me like "holyyyyy fuuuuck ahahaha that ruuuules!" also amazing playing, this action had me chewing on my nails faster than this thing chewed through coins
From what I know, this game comes out before Metal Slug, and some of the creator of this game, moved to SNK and they created Metal Slug later. IREM is a great company.

But I managed to play a few years later. This game needs to be remastered. And the continuation also needs to be done.
This is really great-looking game. R-type+Hunt for Red october = This. The formula is simple but result is unique. And it's unique both in setting and gameplay.
Is one of the better 2D games for PS1 I remember when in 2009 I seen that game for first and last time in front of my eyes Very thanks by the 60 FPS , as I always wanted to watch
This was one of the first games I played when I got my PS1. Its not as perfect as I remember it, but I'd still want to play it for the nostalgia factor. Plus the level design is really something unique.

You can play it on the emulator. It's worth it. I first saw it in the late nineties. But I played it on PS one in the early years of the two thousandth.
Many arcade games with 2.5d sprites graphics have better quality than 90% of mobile games we have today. I mean there some good mobile games with fine art style but old arcade games have your own charm and unique.

Should've called the game Metal Sub.
They couldn't be *that* on the nose.
Still some people didn't realized until these days...
I had a ps1 disc with that game that called it metal slug submarine
I didn't even doubt that it wasn't metal slug
@@tikazombie37 I don't blame you.
Thats redundant, theres no plastic or wooden submarines.

lol igual a mi hoy en dia lo sigo jugando de vez en cuando en mame

Just like classic cartoons, sprites will always look stunning. 10, 30, 100 years after. You simply have to admire those microscopic details!
Heard of Kraut Buster, another Metal Slug ripoff game and next successor

Although there's a lot going on on the screen, everything is clearly distinguishable. Top notch visual design.

I replayed this game in my emulator, I knew this game was hard but man this one is another level of hard. Already used continue in the first stage.
Wow this looks amazing. Too bad I missed this game back then.
You can play it on the emulator. It's worth it. I first saw it in the late nineties. But I played it on PS one in the early years of the two thousandth.
I've just fired this up on Mame and it is so much like Metal Slug. Awesome graphics but so damn hard!
This look awesome! Why have I never heard of this until now?
That first stage... I wonder how many quarters it has consumed. That is one intense ramp up in difficulty!
Geeks: In the Hunt
Everybody: Metal Slug 3 xd
Can Dev's actually remake this for PS5, same style, same gameplay, ultimate graphics, I miss this ;'(
Emulation
You even have battleships that are armed with underwater cannon turrets, is what's new such as.
Its a shame arcade companies don't release their back catalogues for the new generation of mobile and game consoles.
They did, it's called emulators.
But I see what you're saying because Sega and SNK have done it.

Parabéns...eu nunca tinha visto o final desse jogo; muito bom 👍coisa de doído 😜😜😜
Many arcade games with 2.5d sprites graphics have better quality than 90% of mobile games we have today. I mean there some good mobile games with fine art style but old arcade games have your own charm and unique.
Reminds me of the game on Spectrum, called "The Deep"
As the old expression goes, they're armed to the teeth.
Obrigado Jiraya por me mostrar um jogo tão lindo!
It only just hit me that the little subs in Metal Slug are also coloured yellow on top and red on the bottom, presumably as a reference.
