In fact, it's the 3rd and I guess I can be proud of it. In case you want to know, my first one is Parasite Eve and the second is Alababurn. Metal Slug is not going to be my last. This, I promise ... Anyway, for the legal stuff ... I am in no way affiliated or related to SNK or Sony. This FAQ is neither authorized by them nor endorsed by them. Metal Slug is probably trademark of SNK. If anyone or any organization think that this FAQ should not be the way it is, do not hesitate to contact me. In addition, I would like to thank 2 person for providing me with the infomation for the 4th game including Koji Aoki. I have also used quite a lot of direct quotes from his email to me. Thank you again. OK, let's get on with it ... 2. BACKGROUND ------------- Metal Slug originated from the arcade machine, I believed. As of the time now, a sequel has been made named Metal Slug II. Anyway, this FAQ is about what you don't get to play/see on the arcade version. Yes, it's the secret Another Story Mode. Anyway, everything else about the game, the weapons and etc, I will leave you to the other FAQs for Metal Slug around. I am going to only touch on the another Story. First thing first. Please don't email me about you game doesn't have this when you just load up you Metal Slug. The mode is only available after you completed Metal Slug at least once. I finished it in Normal Mode and it did appears, but I am not sure of Easy Mode though. Anyone who tried can email me and let me know. OK, to get to the another Story, you just finish the game, make sure there is free space on your Memory Card to save the game ( Automatically ), then restart and you can choice another Story on the last choice at the main menu. The Story goes something like this ... It's about the diary of a soldier and his escape from the enemies. You get to help him of course ... Now, without further delay, let's get on to playing the 3 mini games here ... 3. GAME 1 --------- There is a disguised spy within the many number of prisoners and you cannot escape with him inside. You will need to identify him and take him out first. But who is it? You press the [circle] button to id a prisoner, it he is not the spy, he will sit down and you can continue to id the rest. BUT you can only id a prisoner when he salute. Or else it will sound the alarm and you will shot! Well, no very hard, just that they do crowd around and it is difficult to tell it they are saluting or not. But do take you time, you got 99 seconds. If you get shot, you will have to retry all over again. If you succeed, they prisoner will bash the spy up and escape ... 4. GAME 2 --------- The prisoner will attempt to escape under the cover of a tank in this game. You will need to guide them as they cannot see the enemy cannon shooting at them. They will need to avoid the enemy fire and jump across the broken bridges to a destination of 3000 over meter away to get to safety. You will control their action and move they tank around. Just be careful of the cursor aiming at you. when it turn red, it will fire and if the tank is close or directly shot at, it take damage. You can only take 2 shot and then you will lose. Of course, there is a faster way to lose. Just drop down between any of the bridge into the cliff below. There is no time limit, but you got to finish the 3000 over meters fast because the screen will keep scrolling too. If you managed to get pass, then you will escape to the finally game ... 5. GAME 3 --------- This is the last mini game. The capture soldier will hide in the cover of the prisoners and you got to find them out. But the prisoners will run around to make things difficult for you. It's like the guessing pea in the cup game. You will be shown where the soldier is. Then they will run around and you got to relocate who is with the soldier. You will need to guess correctly for 3 times. Again, you are allowed to miss only once. Miss twice and you will need to restart. The first 2 times, they are 2 soldier in 4 prisoners. you got 50% chance. Guess correctly with any one of the soldier and you can go on. The last time, you will need to get the only soldier out of 4 prisoners. If you get through, you win. 6. GAME 4 --------- To access the 4th game, do the following: -Win Another Story Game 1-3. -Wait till the credits roll through, then it should say something like "Thank you for playing" then "Try Replay to play the 4th mini game" called "Senka wo kugure". -After you see that, it will take you back to the title screen. -Then choose Another story again. -Try to beat it again, only this time you should get a 4th mini game after the Game 3. This one is a little bit harder. What you have to do is dodge all the bombs that are flying in the air and get to the other side. You can screw up to 2 times and then the third time, you lose. Try getting all 8 of them across the screen safely. Also dolls will fly along with the bombs. Touch them and it will blow up all the bombs on the screen to make it easier to get across. 7. Another Story II ------------------- After beating the 4th mini game, again wait till the credits roll through, then it should say "Thank you for playing" again, with the 8 people in the back spelling Game Over. NOW WAIT, do not turn off the game. It should tell you, OMAKE MODE, in Japanese, and it says to press R1+L2+O. Then it will take you back to the title screen again. press the three buttons while the cursor is on Another story, then.... Another story two will begin. It is the same 4 games, but this time it is a girl that is talking in the diary. After you beat it again, WAIT again. The woman will start speaking, and then finally, one of the prisoners will morph in to a girl, and then back to the title screen. Some more, I guess not... 8. UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ----------------------- Now most of the questions are answered. Anyone with any more answers, don't hesitate to let me know. This is the end of the short FAQ. I hope it is helpful to you.
