Gunbird

Gunbird (ガンバード) is a vertically scrolling shooter developed by Psikyo and released as an arcade video game in 1994.

When originally localized outside Japan by XS Games, Gunbird was retitled Mobile Light Force.

The cutscenes between the battles with two players fighting cooperatively are frequently packed with hilarious dialogue and situations.

A story plays out in between levels and before boss fights, telling a tale of how the protagonists are trying to collect pieces of a magic mirror to make a wish.

The original's fan art gallery was also removed from the game, although the directories are still intact on the disc if inserted into a PC.
