The best game to ever grace the Genesis
Undoubtadly the best game to ever grace Sega's 16-bit Genesis, Gunstar Heroes was, and still is to this day, one of the best simple minded action games ever produced. Bearing resemblance to Konami's Contra games and other "run 'n gun" type games, the gameplay is pretty basic. You run around with automatic firing weapons blowing away the hordes and hordes of enemies that get into your way. You'll find plenty of different power ups that quickly change the pace of the game, but the two player mode is where the real fun of Gunstar Heroes is to be had. For back in it's day, the graphics were great, and today they still hold up for a 2-D side scroller shooter. Controls are incredibly easy and you know what to do from the minute you pop in the cartridge and play. The sound and music is the game's only lowpoint, but most of that can be blamed on the Genesis' poor soundchip (remember, this system was known for having shabby sound). All in all though, Gunstar Heroes is still one of the greatest action games of all time, and if you still have a Genesis and don't have this game, you should do all you can to track it down.

Best action game for Genesis
When the last Genesis rolled off the assembly line and the game companies halted production on all Genesis games to start production on the new systems, there was one action game in the entire library that defined the genre. Gunstar Heroes is the absolute best action game on the Genesis without a doubt. If you find this game at your local game shop make sure you pick it up because it is also a very sought after game by collectors such as myself.

My Childhood Game
I remeber back when i had a sega I loved many games. Sonic 2, general chaos, and many others. But there was one game that I loved more than ever and that was Gunstar Heros. Sega had an offer going if you bought a certain # of games you got one free, I bought some games then for the free one they all [were not good] so I though Id give this one a try. It turned into my favorite game ever. This is THE most fun you will have with a sega game. Some parts are very challenging and even when you beat it youll play it over and over again. Gameing companies today are all about graphics and detail and all this other [stuff]. What happned to making a game not based on how real it looks but on FUN. This game is the defenition of fun. Actually I went out and bought a sega genesis just get to play this game again. If only games today could be as fun as the NES, super NES, and sega.........
