Gun Frontier Arcade Gears

Conversion of the top Taito blast that takes a bizarre mix of alien involvement and Western gun slinging, at least thats all Genki could gather from the spooky Others style cowboy photographs in the intro. The Western theme is realised in game with ships shaped as Colt revolvers. Conveys a good sense of depth in the ships shadow and the attention to detail is good from the moment the first reconnaissance planes swoop in to the tanks that battle on without their gun turrets. The AI is impressive too in this vertical scroller with enemy vessels hiding behind each other.
