Gun Frontier rank increases the longer you shoot (like in Garegga) and the higher your score/longer your survival is too. There are also hidden places to bomb to earn extra points (like the rock outcrop) in the game's opening seconds.

Unlike Spanish /vr/ Yagawa probably did spend hundreds if not more hours on Gun Frontier; he's said as much (and owned the PCB at one point).

The rank is much less forgiving than Garegga because of checkpoints and a hellish stage 5 (as long as the previous three stages combined). Awesome game to credit feed to though. Finale is pure, unadulterated kino.

I played a few random credits today of Gun Frontier for the first time in ages, and I actually made it to the stage 4 boss. I haven't gotten that far on a single credit in years.

Has anyone actually 1cc'd this? I used to credit feed back in the day and stage 5 is 1/3rd of the game, and horrendously hard, too.

Dumping some fan art.

No actual cowboys featured in gameplay, but the game itself is most definitely western themed. I mean, your craft is a pistol with wings!

Best shmup ever and you fucking scrublords never even mention it.
