Collector interest

A Super Famicom port of Irem's arcade run-and-gun, this Japanese GunForce is the title's original release, sought by fans of Contra-inspired 16-bit shooters and Irem's arcade craft. Its SFC cardboard box and spine card make it the preferred source for run-and-gun purists. Loose, the title stays reasonably available on the Japanese side, with interest concentrating on the clean complete set and the heritage appeal of the Irem name.
