I have been looking for this game for 20 years! My dad had this exact arcade machine in our garage and I spent countless hours playing it as a kid. The motherboard on the machine broke and we sold the frame. I think about this game often but could never for the life of me remember what it was called! Thankyou for uploading this trip down nostalgia lane, how cool.
Gun Force is legendary with Spectacular graphics and STUNNING gameplay The levels are 2Fast 2Furious with 2Player action Spectacular Boss battles and STUNNING Boss battles This is a classic arcade game with a vengeance 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
is it just me or does the vehicle at the 14:08 mark was inspired by the aliens movie vehicle the catepillar P-5000 work loader and the final boss at the 14:29 mark also remind me of mother brain from the first metroid nes game
Is this tool-assisted? I just played through the arcade version on MAME and got filtered severely -- something about Gunforce I find it makes it much harder than Contra -- I think the speed of enemy bullets and the irregular patterns at which they are fired, I find it hard to cope with. Also there are many situations where player mobility is restricted. (It took me 2 weeks of daily practice to 1CC Super Contra.) The SNES port of Gunforce is technically inferior, but also far easier and more fun overall, in my opinion. Gunforce 2/GeoStorm and Metal Slug series are orders of magnitude better than Gunforce 1, more fun and smoother experience. I think GF1, GF2 and MS all had the same design team, as they went from Irem -> Nazca -> SNK -> Sammy.
Excelente juego se puede disparar en cualquier dirección a diferencia de Cyber Lip y se pueden utilizar diversas armas, vehículos de guerra e inclusive helicópteros, más de lo que se puede pedir para la poca memoria que tiene (no llega ni a 1Mb)
The makers of this game will later go to create their most famous title: Metal Slug
peace has returned to the land! *Island sinks*

Motherboards doesn't break themselves.
My childhood! I remember playing this game with my dad and my cousins.
amazing to see one of the first titles made by same people that made my childhood amazing with metal slug
Love this game! One of my favorites from way back when during my teenage MAME-playing years.
This game reminds me of the original arcade version of Contra, especially with the OPM sound chip centred soundtrack!😄🤩😎👌

ok this is so much better than the SNES port
The penultimate stage in the evolutionary ladder of Shoot 'em up games that SNK started with Ikari Warriors. Also known as the father of Metal Slug.
HOLY SHIT! I remember this game but totally forgot all about it! The memories.... =}
That was wonderfully made before the birth of the legend, Metal Slug!
Irem made great games for arcade like dragon breed, hammering harry, r type
And the winner of the most grandiose title goes to......
When Contra and Metal Slug are blended together...
With some Midnight Resistance-spices added to the soup.
Some of the people who worked on this game would go on to create Metal Slug...
Contra+metal slug: gunforce
Don't insult those with this... thing.
Metal Slug didn't come out until 1996.
Dat slowodown in the end.....
Battle Fire Engulfed Terror Island sounds like a foreign title for Escape from New York.

Hace .mucho que buscaba este juego
I remembered seeing this in a grocery store way back when and never knew the name of the game.
GUNFORCE IS Legendary and ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Arcade game 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks. Now i can rest in peace.
i love this one better than the second version 👍
This NEEDS to be available on the SWITCH! The big N is looking to bolster it's games library so why not add this to it, right??
It will be this year via Irem Collection Volume 2. It will come with Air Duel, both the Arcade and SNES versions of Gunforce, and Gunforce II
This game was ahead of it's time
This game is just copying Contra 😂
@@olaftv183 This is like saying "metal slug is just a copy of contra"
@@olaftv183 I was talking about graphics. The graphics of this game was WAY ahead of other games in 1991.
I remember getting this for the SNES as a kid and being disappointed it wasn't like the arcade.
The ending was extremely underwhelming but the rest of the game looks pretty solid.
that age of emipres sample, lmaooo
Oh shit! I my dentist used to have this game in his office!
That game is considered as "Pre-Metal Slug/Geo Storm Zero"
Why are there a lot of similar sounds to the Jurassic Park game in this? Same people? Love this art style.
Gun force 2 is actually GeoStorm. It was just titles Gun force 2 for the Western releases.
Is this tool-assisted?

SNES Version is just as hard too.

14:08 “Get away from her, you b*tch!"
Pre-metal slug
We're totally not ripping off Contra, dudes. Just go with it.
Can you upload a longplay of the game "Hobo 1,2,3,4,5,6,7" ? Please,answer! :)
World of longplays
devs that made this for IREM left and joined SNK. They later made Metal Slug for SNK.
Needs a longer title.
Cool
that title screen creeps the fuck out of me.
So, are we battling against Fire Engulfed Terror Island, or is Terror Island engulfed in battle fire?
This looks like Midnight Resistance but better; how come I've never seen it in arcades nor a home computer or console port??
Better? LOL. Midnight Resistance much more better.
@@dumiclumic4423 The music alone makes Midnight Resistance better, even if the game itself were to be mediocre (and it also isn't)
Gun force 1, 2 was weird and didn't feel like a sequel looked a lot like Metal Slug!
häh Mega Drive/ Genesis Sounds ? ^^
Nope • Arcade natively ^^
Nope, just good ol OPM arcade music!😄😏😎
hey dude do you do requests?
This is Irem's Contra game.
Contra+metal slug: gunforce
Metal Slug didn't come out until 5 years later.
Some of the same people that made Gunforce would go on to make Metal Slug
And now without the invulnerability, plz.
where does he show invulnerability?
@@DaedalosC9 , in many situations, not one or two. Inescapable shots that should kill him and just pass through.
@@megac4 Is it the enemy bullets, or the enemies themselves?
@@jonespianist3189 The projectiles. Most enemies don't kill on contact.
Beta Metal Slug?
Some of the same devs that made Gunforce and Gunforce II would go on to make Metal Slug
The enemies sound like minions from despicable me
Metal Slug Minus One?
TAS?
has final boss 14:29
Sprite are cloning from contra and castlevania
And the Metal Slug
Nothing metal slug because metal slug nothing in 1981-1994
This how the snes should be! If they put a lot more effort in it.
I agree. But the SNES version was developed by a Non-Japanese developer for IREM, the same company who did Terminator II for LJN.
👍🏻🇧🇷🙏🏻
Wow, the arcade version really has different feels than it's snes port. The snes port rly was a poor porting XD
The SNES Port of this game is AWFUL!!
Tiene vidas infinitas l:3
It's invulnerability, not infinite lives.
Such a fun game , too bad it was terrible. And by that I mean unforgiving.
