Description
Side-scrolling run-and-gun with two soldiers battling enemy armies in war zones. Published by Irem, released in North America in 1992. Two simultaneous players, multidirectional firing, weapons to collect, dense enemies and massive bosses. Super Famicom port of Irem's GunForce arcade shooter.
The North American edition of Irem's run-and-gun, this NTSC GunForce carries the 16-bit shooter's charm on a US cardboard box, harder to find unwarped than its Japanese source. Its desirability rests on the game's noted difficulty and Contra kinship rather than cult aura. Loose, the title stays accessible on the US market; interest shifts toward sealed graded and clean-box complete copies, with condition steering most of its value.
