Genki was lucky enough to receive a cool grand for turning of age at 18 years old. So what did manhood mean this little nest egg was used for? A reliable runner? A Post Office account and a wee bit left over for a pint or two? No such sense had been impressed in the cerebral cortex. The purchase decision was to snap up a Neo Geo and two carts with enough change left for the BFH*. (* Bus Fare Home...)
Still plenty of Neo Geo titles do hold their value very well (not unfortunately Fatal Fury Special and Samurai Spirits however...) But there are some fine, upstanding members of the community who, having unlike Genki, used their grey matter (perhaps in line with their nous for finance) and enjoy their gaming hobby with a few investments in AES titles. One such title currently held by the Genki that gives us sleepless nights and panicked phonecalls to the insurance brokers is
Metal Slug 4.
Saving hostages who show their gratitude, looking at the sheer shock on faces as they get snuck up on by stealth, charging all guns blazing with a tidy power up.... Enough to make you well up with pride. Plenty of vehicles to command and giant boss ships to let rip into. Wearing its 2D tats with pride, Metal Slug: we salute you. Just don't come near anyone's cup of green tea or Genki might go copter.....
