If anybody has played Gunforce you will remember this run-n-gun. It has a very odd scrolling system that scrolls the screen slowly as long as you are on the right 1/3 or 1/2 of the screen. My goal with this movie is to shoot for 100% kills no misses and fastest time possible. I'm not sure whether I'm going to do a 2 player run or a single player run, but I just wanted to ask everyone if they thought that this would be a good game to do a speed run in.

It's on my "could be good" list. But I didn't remember that the screen scrolls slowly. Does it scroll slower than you can walk? Cause that would mean either a lot of screen dragging, or stalling for time waiting for it to catch up.

yeah the screen scrolls slower than you move, but that would give me extra time to do alot of showing off

wobbling and ridiculous rapid fire, I bet I can make it so that nothing is on the screen for more frames than the number of shots it takes to kill it (while looking like a blur of death) and it should look like an auto scroller

I made a quick and dirty demo of the first level. It's also laggy, but damn, looks like it could be a lot of fun, doesn't it? If no one else is interested, I might take it up myself.

Seems like a very slow version of Contra series of games. Well, I got a few chuckles out of it, hit detection is horribly bad. But then again, the horrible slowness makes it rather unappealing, it could be better without the lag. Mixed feelings about this one, could become a good movie, but seems like it gets rather repetitive after the first level unless the game has some tricks up it's sleeve?

"Seems like a very slow version of Contra series of games." Shame Gunforce 2 is arcade only, as that thing is more or less the precursor to the Metal Slug games, graphics style and sound effects included.

Looking for little-known games for the SNES, I found this, and i made a little test run for it http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/170042058/Gunforce%20-%20Battle%20Fire%20Engulfed%20Terror%20Island%20%28U%29.smv (used the 1.51 v6 of the snes9x) Personally, I think that a simple run for this game isn't enough, but I would like your opinion. The movie is 9 minutes long and show only the completion of the game. If I have time tomorrow I will make an encode.
