Play Mad Stalker: Full Metal Force Online

Summary

Mad Stalker: Full Metal Force drops you into Artemis City’s neon‑lit streets, where you pilot the hulking Hound Dog SlaveGear. The game sticks to a classic side‑scrolling beat ’em up layout, but the eight‑direction joystick and two attack buttons let you chain light punches, heavy swings, jumps, double‑jumps, dashes, guards, grabs and even special combos with simple directional inputs. Each of the six stages feels like a single‑plane arena, and a boss awaits at the end of every corridor. If your mecha’s health hits zero, it explodes and the run ends—though a continue can pull you back into the fray.
The TurboGrafx‑CD version adds a layer of polish: fully voiced cutscenes play after each stage, and the soundtrack is an arranged Redbook CD‑Audio mix that really pops. Two extra playable characters join the roster, each with distinct strengths and weaknesses, and a versus mode lets you pit a friend or the computer against each other. These upgrades make the CD‑ROM² edition feel like a fresh take on the original arcade feel.

Storyline

Mad Stalker: Full Metal Force takes place in the year 2142, after a devastating war. A warship salvaged from the conflict’s final days houses hundreds of combat mechs known as SlaveGears. The government puts two of these machines under police control, designating them Hound Dog and Rising Dog.

The ship’s onboard computer, Omega, reactivates, hijacks military networks, and freezes Artemis City while ordering Rising Dog to eliminate all perceived enemies. Rising Dog breaks free and roams the city, forcing the police to issue an SOS to Hound Dog. Their mission: protect the frozen metropolis by destroying the rogue SlaveGears and restoring order.
