Gun Nac (Import)

Screenshots:

Background:
You play Gun Nac, the head of the GF (Galactic Federation), and you must put a stop civilization from caving itself in, killing itself with plants and unusual objects.

Gameplay:
You assume the role of commander Gun-Nac. You fight a host of enemies from your space ship, in which you battle your way through 8 levels. The ship can be upgraded to a larger ship by acquiring a "wing" for your plane, which allows the player to withstand two enemy hits rather than one, and allows the player to upgrade his weapons farther than his standard ship would allow. The game contains 5 different sorts of guns, as well as 4 types of bombs. The guns range from a standard gun to a flamethrower, to plasma boomerangs, have unlimited ammunition, and are obtained by collecting circles with numbers that correspond to one of the 5 different weapons. The bombs work the same way. (collect circles with letters corresponding to the sort of bomb). The bombs however, you can only have 20 of each sort, and, unlike the guns, do run out of supply. In addition, the guns can be upgraded by collecting multiple "Power P's" that float through the stage. Both the guns and bombs can be progressively upgraded throughout the game.

When a player has acquired a particular type of weapon, (such as type 4, a flamethrower) then the player can upgrade his weapon level by collecting more than one of the same circle in a row. Each time another matching circle is collected, the weapon is upgraded, up to five times. The bombs can also be upgraded using the same method, but by upgrading the bombs, another element is added to the game. When a bomb is upgraded, the bomb becomes twice as powerful, but also consumes twice as much ammunition. This forces the player to chose not only the appropriate gun, but whether or not he would like to upgrade its power, collect or avoid weapon upgrades, or collect more bombs regardless of their type. The upgrades can be purchased in the shop in between levels with money collected throughout the levels, which can be found randomly floating through the level, or can released by destroying objects or enemies during game play.
