The game is similar to Mega Man or Contra - run right, jump on platforms, avoid obstacles like holes and spikes, and shoot enemies.
The player can slide into enemies, run and shoot simultaneously, but cannot shoot at an angle and run simultaneously.
Sometimes the player ride on a bike (the hero's friend drives while the hero kills enemies) or must fight against bosses such as a green-skinned mutant with a mohawk.
The hero's weapon, a special revolver, can be upgraded.
About Game Boy Advance
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (2001) offered near-SNES-level graphics in a handheld and became a home for excellent ports as well as original titles across nearly every genre. GBA cartridges are generally durable and plentiful, making it an approachable platform for new collectors, though a few late-release RPGs and limited exclusives have become genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Metalgun Slinger for Game Boy Advance with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Metalgun Slinger to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBA release dates back to 2002.
