Steel Gunner is a series of light gun games by Namco. Their first light gun game to be exact. The first game was released in 1991, and the sequel in 1992.The game takes place in the futuristic city of Neo Arc City and follow two of their police officers, Garcia Voigt and Cliff Tapp, who are part of Neo Arc City Police's "Steel Gunner" Unit, a special division that deal with mech and powered armored threats via piloting two of their own mech suits dubbed "Gargoyles".In the first game, the two take on an organization named STURM who has kidnapped two scientists to create a superweapon for them. The second game deals with a new terrorist group named Vanguard that seeks to take over the city.The game was known for fast paced visual and destructive environment and having quite a ton of character for the series.There also exists a fanmade remake of the first game for the PC98, called Steel Gun Nyan. It features an altered plot where Garcia and Cliff are replaced by a girl, and it now involves saving a female scientist named Nolan Lian from the terrorists.Unrelated to Flame Gunner.

You Can't Thwart Stage One
 Steel Gunner (Video Game) / int_15385326
comment
You Can't Thwart Stage One: Err not literally, but in both games, the villains big plans will come to fruition despite your efforts. In the first game STURM kidnaps two scientists and steal the equipment needed to make the superweapon though the following stages until you eventually have to confront it in the final level. In the sequel, you reach the hideout of Vanguard and storm your way through the base before reaching the hanger of their airship. Just as you confront the leaders, they teleport away and you fight your way out of the base just in time to see the airship taking off and headed for the city. And as a demonstration of its firepower, it launches a energy blast at the duo the barely dodge that instantly blows up Vanguard's former hideout.

All There in the Manual: According to the official Japanese Laserdisc guide for both games, the officers' full names are Garcia Voigt and Cliff Tapp. Jessica Lain is the pilot’s name, and the Chief’s name is Doug Koenig. The Laserdisc also reveals the names of the enemies in both games, as well as the Big Bad in Steel Gunner 2: Gary Harkes and his right hand robot, Geek.

Point of No Continues/In the End, You Are on Your Own: Once you reach the final boss in the first game, you can no longer use the continuous play feature, and when playing solo… no second players can join in for you to break the "no more continuing" rule. If you die here, your game will be over instantly and for real!

Taking You with Me: After you beat Geek, Gary decides if he's going down, he's taking you with him and initiates the self-destruct. Forcing Garcia and Cliff to scramble to where the mechanism is on the ship and shoot their way through its defenses before they're all blown up. Fail to reach it in time and it's a Non-Standard Game Over.

Determinator: The bosses of their respective games are tough bastard despite constantly being gunned down. In the first game, after you destroy the superweapon, Gaste confront you personally without a mech suit. You shoot him down to reveal he's a cyborg. And even after you blow his head off he still tries one more time to take you out until you finally kill him for good. The leader of the Vanguard's bot, Geek, seems to go down pretty easily, but then you find out he was remote controlled and the true head honcho is Gary Harkes, a cripple. He tries to kill you via self destruct but you manage to stop that in time then get to the surface of his airship. Just as your ride comes to pick you up, Geek busts through the surface to fight you once more. You finally take that out and get on the ship... only for Geek's remains to likewise jump on as well. Your can either shoot him out yourself, or, humorously, if you wait a bit, Jessica will do the job for ya albeit berating you for taking so long.
