Psikyo Gunbird 1 & 2 compilation with both vertical shoot'em ups. Excellent value for Japanese shmup fans wanting to discover both entries in one package. Shooting mechanics through different characters offer appreciable replayability.

This edition gathers two emblematic Psikyo verticals, known for never easing the pressure. Curtains of fire, stubborn bosses and a frantic pace demand reflexes, memorization and careful handling of charged attacks. Stern yet honest in its demands, the set wins over fans of old-school shoot-'em-ups after a sustained challenge.
