Comment
Perhaps one of the oldest first person shooters in somewhat modern form. Movement controlled by a joystick while shooting is controlled by a light gun. The levels were very small, so even if the player could move about them freely, this was somewhat underplayed feature. Had player versus player mode even.
Supposedly marketed for even 4 players where 2 players control solely movement and 2 other players control shooting, obviously harder to play this way if it was ever done seriously. Works much better with 2 people.
Despite the name, this doesn't seem to be related to the Gunbuster anime.
