Stage 6 is similar to stage 2, in that the screen infinitely loops up and down, and the gunner can go out one side of the screen and come out the other, all while trying to move forward and not die. It's a tough stage to learn but it's probably the funnest stage in the whole game for this reason. Stage 4 is quite interesting the M-308 is stuck in a small box that scrolls throughout the level, and at the same time, enemies come flying at you, obstacles require you to move quickly, and force fields can severely limit the space you have. Because of these, the game is practically a pseudo-puzzle game. Other common obstacles throughout are lasers or switches that can only be deactivated while standing upright or upside down. Stage 2 for example "loops" indefinitely scrolling up and down, confusing the player, so some serious thinking is required to figure out exactly which way to proceed.


It was changed to white for the Japanese release, though.īecause of this, the levels are all designed to create new challenges or obstacles to work around this mechanic. The box art show's a mech in white, however in the game it is actually a pinkish tone instead. That is where the player comes in, as they must travel through 7 challenging stages to save the human race! However, the gun has malfunctioned and has begun blowing up entire planets! Any attempts to shut down the weapon have failed and now humanity has resorted to sending in a fighter, the M-308 Gunner, to manually activate the system's self destruct switch. Released in 1991, it's a side-scroller action platformer where you play as a cute little mech! In the 26th century, humans have built a giant laser gun operated by robots to protect Earth from any alien invaders. Good old Metal Storm for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This is the first non-Playstation game I'll be covering! And what a treat we have today. Genres: platformer, action, run n' gun, mecha, Nintendo
