Hell yes I would love to have this on here. Seven Metal Slug games in one package. I previously had this on PS4 myself. Which was a direct port of the PS2 version. Most of these Metal Slug games already on here. But having this many of them in one place is better. The presentation alone is enough to sell people to play this. We already have Contra Anniversary Collection on here. I felt this was way better in comparison. You get a collection so insanely fun for hours. You even could play with a friend or family member. From start to finish this is truly amazing stuff. Even for a compilation game of it's era. It's mind blowing there's little to no way to play this currently. Especially when Metal Slug has a huge fan base. I do think this could sell very well on here.

What is there to say about metal slug that has not been said already? Since some of the devs are working on a new game - black finger jet - I think it would be a decent opportunity to bring back the anthology.

I played this one on my PSP back in the day and it's probably on my top gaming experiences, simple perfect to have all this classic games in one anthology ready to go whatever you want. I like the standalone too, but this version was perfect. Hope they can bring it back with the extras too!

Space Wars
Space WarsSpace Wars is an early vector graphics arcade game. It is based on Spacewar!, a PDP-1 program. It was ported to the Vectrex in 1982. Space Wars was the brainchild of Larry Rosenthal, an MIT graduate who was fascinated with the original Spacewar! and developed his own custom hardware and software so that he could play the game. Cinematronics worked with Rosenthal to produce the Space Wars system. Two players controlled different ships. One button rotated the ship left, another rotated the ship right, one engaged thrust, one fired a shell, and one entered hyperspace (which causes the ship to disappear and reappear elsewhere on the playfield at random). The game offered a number of gameplay options, including the presence or absence of a star in the middle of the playfield (which exerted a positive or negative gravitational pull), whether the edges of the playfield "wrapped around" to their opposite sides, and whether shells bounced. Three other fascinating features were unique to this game. First, the game could not be played in "one player" mode; a human opponent was required. Second, the player's ship could take a glancing hit without dying, but would suffer damage; a cloud of loose ship fragments would break off and float away, after which the ship would be visibly damaged on screen and would turn and accelerate more slowly. Third and most memorable was that the duration of play for any contest was solely governed by the amount of money deposited; each quarter bought a minute and a half of play. A dollar bought six minutes, and for a ten dollar roll of quarters two players could play non-stop for an hour.
