      Yes, I'm a Metal Slug fan.

      I made this bartop two years ago. I enjoyed a lot doing it and working on the vinyls dessign using fanmade images and the game sprites.
      It was the first bartop I made and now I'm about to finish the second one, a smaller and lighter one, based on Marvel Comics.
      I will post photos of this one when I finish it.
      Please, give me your opinions.

      P.D.: Gálvez is my surname. I know the Nintendo logo doesn't match with Metal Slug but I like the dessign and I wanted to use it in my bartop.

              @Dipkid Yeah! Metal Slug is one of my favourite all-time sagas.

                      Wauw 😮, this looks absolutely amazing. I'm actually quite jealous, even though I got my own Bubble Bobble themed bartop :)

                        if you love metal slug you should try demon front great wee game slugger fans will love it too. I think this might have a place in your barcade again its personal choice I love how you can control your jumping somewhat in this game its not immediately obvious but you do need to use it to defeat some bosses.

                          I love that, I'm interested in making a bar top

                          Would be great for some internal pics if possible

                          Great job

                            @grant2258 and also Gunforce 2 (made by the same team) (In the Hunt also is made by them but its a full game of the submarine section from Metal Slug 3 if you liked that!

                              @grant2258 Just tried Demon Front and I really like it! Hardly inspired in Metal Slug.
                              Some years ago I played and enjoyed Mercenary King on PS4. It's available on Steam, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch. It's based on Metal Slug too but you can buy and create weapon parts to create the perfect gun for you.
                              I recommend it.
