The Arcade Era: Making Metal Slug from the Start

After transmigrating to a parallel world, Qin Tian becomes the owner of a struggling arcade!

In this world, the concept of computer games has yet to take shape, so arcade games dominate, and arcades are everywhere!

Just as Qin Tian is at his wit's end, the Arcade Glory System arrives!

Metal Slug, The King of Fighters series, Knights of Valour, Snow Bros., Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Knights of the Round!

One after another, beautifully designed arcade games with satisfying combat appear in this world!

"Metal Slug, one coin to beat the whole game. Who else can do that?!"

"How do you unlock Zhuge Liang in Knights of Valour? Can one of the pros share the cheat code?"

"Mai Shiranui is way too busty. I mean, her moves are way too cool!"

"Could the final boss in Knights of the Round be any harder? Is this even a game for humans?"

Looking at his packed-to-the-rafters arcade, Qin Tian can only say one thing under his breath.

"Go easy on my arcade machines, everyone. I've replaced several joysticks and buttons just this week!!"
