Nazca's Metal Slug is a work of genius in every respect, and in the wake of its extraordinary success it's a shame it was limited to such a small production run. Today it ranks as one of the most valuable Neo Geo cartridges around, along with Big Tournament Golf (1996) and Maruko Deluxe Quiz (1995). Last seen around the ¥100,000 mark; please contact for the latest price. Snap-lock Neo Geo case, 193Mbit cartridge, monochrome booklet.
