Gunstar Heroes (Sega Genesis, 1993)

Gunstar Heroes is definitely a Sega Genesis must-own title!

Gunstar Heroes is a Sega Genesis run-and-gun game that was published by Sega in 1993 and was the first video game to be developed by Treasure, a Japanese video game developer, which includes some former Konami employees who have put a lot of time and effort on creating this true masterpiece! The music and sounds are awesome, especially with Norio Hanzawa composing them with the use of the SMPS 68K sound driver! On a side note, Norio Hanzawa used to work for Konami on composing music and sounds for their own titles for the Nintendo NES and Game Boy, such as Quarth, Castlevania: The Adventure, Rollergames, as well as arcade titles including The Simpsons and Bucky O'Hare. The gameplay is outstanding and the graphics are top-notch, considering the fact that this is one of the few Sega Genesis titles that pushes the hardware to it's limits! In conclusion, Gunstar Heroes is not only one of the best run-and-gun titles on the Sega Genesis, but also one of the best games for the console period!Read full review

A must play!

A great action packed shoot-em-up with very good graphics for the day. The difficulty is much better than Contra Hard Corps and the game is simply more fun although both are very good. Although the game has risen in price, it is still a must play for the Genesis and the artwork is good which makes it look great on display.Read full review

One of the best games ever made.

Gunstar Heroes is a game made by Treasure. Basically, you can't go wrong with Treasure games. They are pretty much all hidden gems and Gunstar Heroes is no exception. Fantastic Contra like gameplay with a more of a manic feel to the gameplay. Interesting weapons, melee attacks and enemies. It's difficult but not impossible. I highly recommend this for some amazing 2 player action.Read full review
