Gunbird

 

 

Gunbird is one of those shhot’em’ups that is like a well worn slippers, it never surprises you with anything that you probably wasn’t expecting.  It has all the usual upgrades and the enemy fire so many bullets at times, it’s impossible to a void getting shot.  I think that’s why they included credits.  It was inevitable that you were going to die, its just matter of when.

 

 Just as in the many other games produced by Psyke, you are given a choice of players.  Each player uses a different weapon and had different stages to complete.  I think the rearranged them differently.  Then you were off into the made world that had these people waffling something in Japanese, then you would start to ascent up the screen.

 

I must admit that I also played this game in the arcade as well and I does suck you dry of all you money.  I just wished they advertised these game a little bit. It seemed strange to me to never release a product and then complain that someone copied it.  I hope to buy this game again to keep in my personal collection but I doubt I’ll pay the type of prices demanded for this now.  Oh well, at least there’s MAME.
