Gun & Frontier

             

              Manufacturer: Taito
              Year: 1990

Descpription: As far as vertical scrolling shooters go, Gun & Frontier is very standard.

Players start with a dual machine guns which are strengthened and multiplied
by upgrades that come in the shape of US dimes taken from buffalo
haped enemies and every five dimes powers the ship's guns.

Players also start with a bomb supply which is upgraded to further destruction by
collecting gold bars from destroyed ground forces. Once a player accumulates 25 bombs,
they are granted access to the Bomber Max, the strongest of the player's bombs.

The players can also pick up spinning coins with two different sides: a silver
side and a gold side. If the player collects the coin on the silver side,
then the player merely gains another coin for their guns.

However, if the player collects the coin on the gold side, then
the player's guns and bomb supply is maximized to full power.
