------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metal Slug 7 Prisoners Location Guide ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of contents [TABL] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can use search to navigate, no need to include [], just 4 letters will do ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Table of Contents [TABL] -Prisoners Location [PRLC] =Mission 1 [MS01] =Mission 2 [MS02] =Mission 3 [MS03] =Mission 4 [MS04] =Mission 5 [MS05] =Mission 6 [MS06] =Mission 7 [MS07] -Credits / Special Thanks To [STHX] -History [HSTR] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prisoners Location [PRLC] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The formating of this guide will be as follows: -Mission# =Map# -Prisoner# (VISIBLE/HIDDEN) Description. Items rewarded by the prisoner. I defined map as one entire area before screen fades. You can use the touch screen to browse through the map you're in, but not other maps. Prisoner# is according to their location. So even if #14 is the first prisoner you see, when #13's location is closer to you I numbered the closer one first. (VISIBLE) means the prisoner is visible on the map. (HIDDEN) means you need to fire at a certain location in order to make the prisoner appear. The best way to find hidden prisoners is playing on the Beginner difficulty, as you have an unlimited ammo of Heavy Machinegun. I'll describe the prisoner's location in Description part. I'll use previous prisoner, background, and enemies as reference points. It's recommended that you play through the mission first, and then read my guide because the first time it can be confusing whether you've passed my reference point or not. Items rewarded by prisoner is quite straightforward. I'll just write down a single word (most of the time) naming the reward. If I have no idea, I'll just say swag. Weapons will be written as their abbriviation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [MS01] -Mission 1 =First map #1 (VISIBLE) Tied up in the first screen.

I will try a 100 rescue run and see how the score changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credits / Special Thanks To [STHX] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to Gid from GBATemp for the locations of #9,#10 in Mission 1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History [HSTR] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.1 Jul.17.2008 Started making guide. v1.0 Jul.17.2008 Found all 100 prisoners of war.
