Collector interest

The second Arcade Gears volume, this conversion of Taito's western-themed vertical shooter Gun Frontier remained a 1998 Japan exclusive. Its desirability rests less on the game's fame than on completing a series eagerly chased by Saturn Taito shmup collectors. A late release near the console's end of life meant a short pressing, feeding lasting demand among fans of authentic arcade shooting rather than casual buyers.
