Metal Slug is sooooo good! I used to play it all the time when I was younger. Such a simple and fun game.

Be aware that a lot of the games don't have Steam keys. Metal Slug games and a few others do, but the rest need to be downloaded and/or played in a browser.

Indie games, remakes of old classics, and a growing interest in retro games have kept pixel/sprite art in the gaming main stream. (e.g. Shovel Knight)

Paul Robertson's work is unbelievable. He's worked on a bunch of games and has been doing work for Adult Swim.

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike has arguably the best sprite animations. A very dedicated fan by the name of "Joram" made a site where you can view all the sprites in the game. zweifuss.ca/

Dino Farm Games wrote an interesting article on the matter of pixel art. They argue that the SF4 animations are boring and a far cry from the attention to detail in the past games.

Amazing! Love the NeoGeo and its' games,, great shooters, great fighters, great everything really!
The Metal Slug 2 web emulator is very wierd tho. Audio sync is messed up and game sometimes speed up randomly, i guess due to trying to fix the frame drop problem that the game had on the original system.
That said, I don't think buying ports of old games is very wise or good for the industry, besides most of these ports use closed-source emulators that are actually worse or less accurate than free emulators.
