GunForce (alternatively titled GunForce: Battle Fire Engulfed Terror Island) is a 1992 Run-and-Gun action game produced by Irem.In 2000, the country "R" established a base controlled by a high-tech computer, using the computer's capabilities to shut down the defense network of neighboring countries. Assuming the role of a commando, you battle your way through hordes and hordes of enemy soldiers only to discover a hidden threat literally out of this world.A sequel, GunForce II (alternatively titled GeoStorm in Japan, not to be confused with the disaster film), was released in 1994. The plot has the D.A.S (of In the Hunt and other post-apocalyptic Irem games' fame) undertake a super-soldier program designed to create a superior species of humans capable of surviving in the vacuum of space, using the XX chromosomes harvested from female prisoners. This time players assume the role of Max and Lei, two "GunForce" operatives, taking part in "Operation: Girl Hunt" to destroy the D.A.S once and for all.It's worth noting that the crew behind the second game would later work on the Metal Slug series after jumping ship to SNK, with the games sharing visual similarities and gameplay. In fact, there are arcade ports that re-releases GunForce II as Metal Slug Zero.

comment
Video Game Flamethrowers Suck: Mostly averted, the flamethrower can be collected in both games and can deal absurd amount of damage on humans, robots and vehicles alike. It works exceptionally well when dealing with large numbers of enemies.

Organic Technology: In the sequel, it turns out the larger robots you fought throughout the game are powered by integrating recovered alien technology into machines. The Final Boss notably has a mechanical body supported on a centipede-like tail, until it reveals its face - which is a humanoid living skull powered by some unknown alien tech.

comment
Mook Maker: The Final Boss of the first game. After fighting your way into the terrorist stronghold, you find out their secret project - a recovered alien experiment being converted into a superweapon for mass-producing their own alien army, in an incubation chamber containing multiple spawners. The experiment itself couldn’t move about like every previous bosses, but it can regularly spawn lesser alien soldiers as backup. The second game has you destroying three barracks in one area, which repeatedly unload low-level terrorist mooks until you blow those up. The robot centipede in the sequel can break apart its segments into smaller robotic enemies as backup.

Half-Human Hybrid: The reason all of the captives are women? This is because DAS needed them to breed their own hybrid super soldiers that can survive in the vacuums of space. And the mooks with an alien head are presumably their products born from less fortunate women.

Xenomorph Xerox: While the aliens in the first game avert this, the sequel reveals that the terrorists have harvested a different alien species for mass-production in the final area, one which is distinctively xenomorph-like with rounded, phallic-shaped heads, the ability to Wall Crawl as it attacks you from above and below, Nested Mouths as a ranged attack, and an area which is practically lifted from Aliens (in which you find yourself in a chamber loaded with alien eggs, which you must destroy before they hatch and cling on you).

Cores-and-Turrets Boss: Most of the bosses in the first game are these, including the command outpost in the first stage (a stationary building covered in turrets whose sole weak spot is on its toe - helpfully labelled "CORE"), a weaponized outpost where mooks throw grenades at you from behind windows while you hit a single weak spot of said structure, and a descending tower which you destroy one level at a time while taking out each section's turrets before exploding the biggest, orb-shaped one on the very tip.
