I've grown to like it.
When it was first out in the arcades I didn't care much for it.
Now that it's on GOG DRM free I enjoy playing it for short periods of times.
Were I to spent the money per credit I've spent, it would've been was more than $6 and it has small discount sales.
With infinite credits and IIRC 2 player local coop, it's a great run and gun arcade game.
The other first metal slug games, 1,2,3,X are also enjoyable.
I dunno if I'd wand 5 or not but if it was available on GOG I'd gladly risk $6 to have all the MVS arcade Metal Slug games.
