AKA Gun Force. Gun Force was an obscure Contra-like game you might have seen at the arcades back in the day. It was "feed me all your quarters" hard and pretty much unplayable, but contributed one exciting new element: you could jump into war vehicules and used them against the enemy. Most of you probably didn't even know that it had a sequel. Gun Force 2 was one of the last arcade games (if not the last one) from Irem Corp., published in 1994. When looking at the screenshots, the game's similarity to Metal Slug becomes evident immediately. Yes, Metal Slug is an evolution of this game, as the staff members are actually the same.
Bowmen followed the trend that began in the early 90s of offering simple games with nude images, although in this case with naively “spicy” scenes.

The player must slide three or more matching tiles together in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal chains to clear them from the screen. When tiles are removed from the screen surrounding tiles drop and slide around to fill the gaps.

Once the set number of tiles are removed, the play area is cleared and the photographic nude background image is revealed.
Clearing tiles advances a bar at the bottom of the screen. Once the bar is filled the game is interrupted by a bonus game. Once the bonus game is completed the game returns to the exact spot where it had left off.

Light Bringer (ライトブリンガー) , also known as Dungeon Magic, is a 1994 arcade game by Taito Corporation Japan and is also included in Taito Legends 2.

This would be a typical early Street Fighter clone if it wasn't for the good old SunA wackyness. Eight combatants come to this turney to find out who is the best of the best in the world. Like in many Korean fighting games at the time, there is no boss, nor any hidden characters. Each character has its own stage, but the same musical tunes are played in each of them. Get ready to fight to the rythm of Lambada and celebrate your victory with the Ode to Joy.
