GUN NAC: The Cute 'Em Up with a Serious Punch!

Released in 1990 (and slightly later in North America in 1991), Gun Nac is a fast-paced, vertical scrolling shooter that dares to be different.

So prepare for a wild ride filled with explosions, cuteness overload, and enough power-ups to make your head spin! Get ready to blast off in Gun Nac - you won't regret it!
