Gun Force II Longplay (Arcade) [60 FPS]

[@ducktail4068]

Guys THIS GAME CAME FIRST. It's devs went on to make metal slug. That's why you recognize metal slug in this game, but in reality, this game is recognizable in metal slug.

This was the standard back in the 80's and 90's. Today it would be a female with green hair, shaved on the sides, and a males body, rescuing her ethnically diverse girlfriend while shooting hordes of toxic men.

[@LordPaddle]

This is probably my favorite arcade run and gun from the nineties, and the last arcade game by Irem before some of the developers go to Nazca and make "Metal Slug" two years later. It's just a pitty that the game has no ending and is endless loop, like in 80's arcade game. But what a great ride of fun and action !!! Over the top !!! I love it ! :)

[@LokiThePug]

[@Tony-1971]

The artwork is incredible in this game, same with the other games this team did, 'In The Hunt,' and the 'Metal Slug' games. Apparently they were influenced by the works of Hayao Miyazaki.

[@tinylittlemachine]

This game is awesome, i can definitely see its influence in Metal slug. I personally prefer Metal slug for the amazing animation and just overall feeling more refined, but i still heavily respect this game for its wonderful art style and fun gameplay, as well as In the Hunt

[@Dethmeister]

The artwork is great but the screen gets so cluttered. I guess that's true of most arcade games.

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

Yep - they want it to look awesome, but they also want you to die and insert more coins; 2 birds with 1 stone 😉

I will never understand why they removed the diagonal shooting in Metal Slug. It would've been even more entertaining and memorable. That's why I think Contra is better.

[@아-f4s1w]

The threat posed by the bosses of the game, consisting of only dots and line graphics, makes your hands and feet tremble throughout the game. I'd like to see the initial initiatives and setup of those bosses, but it's such an old game that there's no way to watch it

[@dastanbastan9621]

Yeah, it's a great run'n'gun, but I really don't understand why they went with such a choppy looking animation for main character in a 1994 game on a powerful arcade hardware? Was it just an awkward way to reduce slowdowns? I would honestly prefer better animation with less action on the screen, if that was the case, after all it's already showing way, way more than SNES and even Genesis ever did, so even if it all was a bit toned down it would still be a far more action packed experience than anything on consoles. But aside from animation it does looks very good, no doubt.

[@tommyumbrella]

You can tell it is cause it looks abit like re-polished contra

[@Imgema]

This game looks amazing, even better than Metal Slug IMO, but it needs the emulated CPU to be overclocked a bit.

The only problem with these early Iren games is unlike Metal Slug they are just too effing hard. Gun Force and In the Hunt are just harder than any metal slug games to the point that they are not too fun to play.
