SUPER 8. MAN

just back from my dad’s, The main highlight of the night was pulling out the old super 8 projector and stack loads of footage dating back to 1982 and even some before I was born. 15mins was spent trying to get the projector working, ones it started working it then ripped a reel in half and we spent several hours more trying to find out why it had stoped working all together . By the end of the night we had only seen 3 seconds of blurred, flickery footage but we still had fun trying to get a 20 year old projector going.

EMULATING A SLUG OF METAL

Metal Slug 3 is a run and gun video game for the Neo-Geo console/arcade platform created by SNK that was released in 2000 and is the direct sequel to Metal Slug 2. It is widely acclaimed by many fans (and my self) to be the best in the Metal Slug series to date.

Im verry excited to report Metal Slug 3 can now be emulated via MAME and other popular Neo-Geo emulators. Metal Slug 3 is the biggest and boldest Metal Slug todate with lots of new weapons and bad guys to shoot up. Unlike the last 2 Metal Slugs (3 if you count Metal Slug X) Metal Slug 3 has a nonlinear game play. This gives the player several different ways to play any one given mission and should make for meny hours of fun. If you like SNK games such as Metal Slug or enjoy emulating old systems why not post a comment.
