However, one of the men present at the meeting shocked all in attendance - it was Morden himself, the devil come back to life, shown clearly on the screen. Thus Marco, Fio, and new members Trevor and Nadia set out to take down the 'Amadeus' organisation, whilst Tarma and Eri set to work creating a vaccine for the 'White Baby' computer virus.Īfter many hours of laborious recon work the special-ops PF Squad managed to obtain a link-up to a satellite feed displaying a meeting of suspected 'Amadeus' members. The involvement of the special-ops PF Squad in the plan to wipe out 'Amadeus', including their presence in the computer networks of the world, was officially decided. The emergency International Anti-Cyber Terrorism Conference, held as soon as the proclamation was deemed a viable threat, called for the extermination of the terrorist group 'Amadeus' and the enhancement of central military systems' security and facilities across the globe. The all powerful 'White Baby' was created by a terrorist organization calling themselves ' Amadeus - Ones Loved by God'. It started with a widespread proclamation across the World Wide Web of the creation and imminent deployment of the ' White Baby' computer virus, capable of breaking through all known security systems and taking control of the central military systems of every country in the world. One of the main heroes, Marco has also been shown to be genius by programming a virus which nearly caused a nuclear war, using Rugname's computers with ease and having fast mental calculation processing.In the year 20XX the world trembles under a new evil: Even Avatar of Evil is at the same tier due to its size and being one of the largest and likely strongest characters in the series.Ĭharacters also have some decent hax with their weapons such as some degree of Toon Force for literally becoming fat after eating food power-ups, Homing Attack via targeting weapons such as Enemy Chaser, Earth Manipulation for turning grenades into large boulders with a Stone weapon, summoning big falling tablets, creating smoke-screens, etc. Their "Metal Slug" vehicles can easily destroy buildings with a few shots of its cannon and vaporize human beings. When regarding speed, they can easily outrun soldiers and dodge bullets, cannon shells, lasers and meteors. In term of attack potency and durability, every character is Small Building level to Large Building level for destroying tanks, helicopters. Metal Slug is very formidable verse that's far from weak. Later on the series, Marco and Tarma are joined by S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S agents Eri Kasamoto and Fio Germi, as Morden makes an allegiance with an alien race and other military groups. In the first game, the players take the role of the Peregrine Falcon Squad soldiers Marco Rossi and Tarma Roving, and must face the villain General Morden and his Rebel Army, who wants to eliminate the governments and establish a new order, all of this fueled by his anger caused by the death of his son. The first game was released in 1996 for the Neo Geo MVS arcade platform. With some exceptions, the games belong to the run 'n' gun genre-sidescroller platform games with shoot em' up elements, where the player must run through a stage while shooting at various enemies. Metal Slug is a popular video game franchise created by Nazca and now owned by SNK, who created the sequels to the original game.
