Gunforce - Battle Fire Engulfed Terror Island

Released by Irem in 1991, *Gunforce - Battle Fire Engulfed Terror Island* is an arcade action-shooting game that follows the struggle of two soldiers who stand as humanity's final hope against the invasion of a nation wielding high-performance military computers. Featuring a simple control scheme consisting of an eight-way joystick and two buttons, the game adopts a straightforward, hardcore design that was noticeably rare for Irem titles at the time. Experience the intense mission of these soldiers as they fight to destroy the enemy stronghold and save a world on the brink of collapse.

In the year 2000, the R Empire completed a massive sea fortress controlled by a neurocomputer, using its power to seize control of global military command systems and launch an invasion. As resistance forces across the globe are suppressed, the anti-R Empire army sends two soldiers, Milkman and Paperboy, on a mission to destroy the fortress as a final hope. Players take control of these soldiers to take on the final operation to thwart the ambitions of the dictator who seeks world domination.
