Space Gun Arcade

2039 A.D. Man begins deep space exploration in search of new life forms and usable fuel sources. What he discovers is trouble.
Until now, the success of past explorations was causing the space effort to grow by leaps and bounds. Until now, the explorers had found little more than fungus and small insects as alternative lifeforms. Until now, the chief dangers had been those posed by the hostile environment of space. Until now, the aliens had not known about THEM.
On the ragged edge of the galaxy, other creatures that roam the stars discover humans and spaceships to be excellent sources of food and other resources.
Prepared at the worst for clashes with rival exploration teams, the human crews can do little to defend themselves as wave upon wave of nightmare creatures descend upon their ships and bases.
In response to their distress calls, the Federation has assembled a series of rescue teams, lead by their best military sharpshooters, to deal with the alien menace. As the leader of one of these teams, you must gun down the intruders and pick up the human survivors. Brave the maze of dark corridors that may lead to a deadly shootout between you and legions of monsters.
Space Gun is an arcade rail shooter in which the player views the on-screen action from a first person perspective.
Players use a cabinet-mounted light gun to target and shoot enemy aliens that have invaded a research vessel and abducted its crew.
Enemies are either mechanical guns that descend from above the screen or aliens, several of which can only be defeated by first shooting away their limbs.
The player must save human hostages from the creatures. Occasionally, a hostage will mutate into an alien. In addition to the standard rapid-fire weapon, there are four other weapons: a flamethrower, grenade launcher, freeze bomb, and blade bomb.
These weapons require ammunition which can be collected throughout the stages, and are activated by the player using the pump action of the mounted gun.
The arcade cabinet features foot pedals that, when pressed, reverse the player's direction. It shold give the player more time to fire upon an incoming enemy, to help keep the number of enemies at a more manageable level and thereby keep them from being overwhelmed. But with the "backpedal" you risk of running out of time on the level and makes you more in danger that normal level scrolling.
There are seven levels hat are split into four subsections, each with its own end-of-level boss.
Between levels the story is explained and moved forward through the use of short animated cut-scenes with text on the screen. Players can often choose their own path through the level by selecting a door using the gun.
The final stage is crucial for what ending you are going to get, the good ending you defeat the boss inside the space ship, escape + credits etc.
Bad Ending with a fast Game Over, is achieved if you destroy your own spaceship control panel down.

Taito's homage to the Alien film franchise when it had 2 movies (1979's Alien and 1986's Aliens)
