On UsuArcade, GunForce 2 is played online in 2 player co-op: you on your phone or PC and your buddy on theirs, in the same game and in real time, each with your own soldier.
It's the Irem run and gun that hinted at what was coming next: you blast your way across an armored train, through ruins and past robots, airships and enemy troops, with guns you grab along the way.
History
GunForce 2 came out from Irem in 1994. In Japan it was called Geo Storm. It runs on Irem's M92 board, the same as the original Gunforce, which is also in the arcade.
Part of the team behind it later went on to make Metal Slug, and you can feel it in every shot. The version on UsuArcade is «Gun Force II (US)» from MAME 0.239.
How to play
The stick moves your soldier and aims: push up to fire skyward and down to crouch. Z fires and X jumps. When you start, the machine asks for your names, just like back in the arcade.
Watch the TIME clock up top: if it hits zero, you lose a life. Out of lives, «CONTINUE?» pops up with a countdown to keep going with another coin and START. In co-op, your buddy can jump in at any point with their own coin and START.
