GunForce Super Nintendo
GunForce is Irem's answer to Contra, and possesses the coolest subtitle of any video game ever: Battle Fire Engulfed Terror Island.
GunForce was originally released in 1991 for arcades, subtitled "GunForce: Battle Fire Engulfed Terror Island." Developed and published by Irem, GunForce was ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System sans subtitle. This version was released in November of 1992. GunForce is very similar to the Contra series, and essentially follows the same formula as other side scrolling action platformers of the time. The Arcade original is featured in Irem Arcade Hits for Mac and PC.
The player takes control of an unnamed super soldier, protecting Earth from an undetermined menace. This soldier provides ample commentary in between stages, stating exactly what he is doing and why (e.g. "I am going into this base to destroy the enemies!").
