What game was that at 0:29?
What is name of the game where u had to use signal granate to call helicopter to rescue you at the end of every level
While I agree with Gunstar Heroes, Contra Hard Corps is the best of the franchise.
Heavy machine gun
Metal slug 3 was in my opinon the best of the 7
I freaking love metal slug best military arcade game I've ever played
Gunstar Heroes at the Top.
We can't be more agreed.
SEVEN FORCE !
Before first and third person shooters there were run n gun games
1. Cuphead
no the bests are metal slugs
I miss Hard Cops and Toki on that list.
They need to redo the list and do regular run and gun games and add cuphead
Does anyone know what the Run and Gun nes game was called where at the beginning of the first mission you got dropped by a helicopter in the jungle?
CONTRA ALIENS WAR SHOULD BE THE NUMBER 1
For me Contra Hard Corps better than Alien Wars. It improve the mechanic from previous installment and has replay value because it alternate endings.
Metal Slug forever
Metal Slug 1, 2, X and 3
Super star wars is so bad
Gunstar got you a like
Metal slugs should be number 1
i trusted you many times but this time…..ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? METAL SLUG IS THE BEST IT'S THE NUMBER ONE AND IT'S LIGHT YEARS FAR FROM CONTRA WITCH SHOULD BE ON SECOND PLACE WHYYYYYYYYYYY T-T
What format is broforce on? Mobile??
Metap slug ❤❤❤❤❤❤
No love for Jazz Jackrabbit? 🙁
Metal slug series is defiantely No.1. King of run and gun games , Gunstar is good but the music is horrible !!
Doom
What was the first game name I’ve been trying to find the name of that first game that was up there first and have not found it yet
Shitstar Heroes number one but not Metal Slug X. For fucks sake.
Awesome vid! Some games if never heard of before
Contra: Hard Corps > Contra III
Metal Slug 3 is the best Run n' Gun game out there.
-Rideable Tanks, Aircrafts, Submarine, Robots, Camel, Ostrich, etc.
-It has different varieties of enemies such as Aliens, Zombies, Mummies, Insects, Sea Creatures, Plant Monsters, Robots etc.
-The game has branching paths.
-A gorgeous pixel art style.
-It has humor and movie references.
Contra 3👍
Siiii!!! Gunstar Heroes es el Mejor, siempre lo será!!!
MEGAman where is megaman
I was surprised you went with Super Star Wars l, considering the sequels let you actually USE the Force, not to mention character-specific special abilities.
One I’ve tried, and I’m wondering how it rated with the peanut gallery, is Cybernator. It was an SNES game that was an attempt at an American-made mecha game with run-and-gun action.
I can't believe "Freedom! Do or Die" (PC) isn't featured. Best run 'n' gun ever!
Contra and metal slug and Turrican should definitely be on this list . and also Indiana Jones and star wars and sunset rider.
"Freedom! Do or Die" is by far the best game on Steam!
Gunstar Heroes!!! Yeah love it. No. 1.
Cybernator & MetalWarriors is also excellent on the SNES… Konami of course.
But Metal Slugs on the NeoGeo are magical =)
Narc is literally one of the shittiest arcade games I've ever played. I honestly saw it at number 10 and immediately knew this list would be pure shit. Good job
Contra hard corps is number 1. Gunstsr heroes is 2. Other than narc the list was ok
You missed in ikari warriors and smash tv
I was like, where tf is Gunstar Heroes? Oh, its #1 Contra 3 is always gonna be my #1 though….
Megaman x top 3?
Gunforce deserves to be in the list
Oh the memories of Metal Slug would walk to my local Fiesta Mart to play it at least once a week. Good times now I can play anytime on my modded Xbox.
When I first saw the this list I thought I saw RoboCop Vs Terminator great game by the way
Thank god gunstar heroes was number one. There can be no other way, even in the face of contra.
Alien Soldier is my favorite game ever, and I can not stop saying that. Also, it used to hold the Guinness world record for most bosses in a run n gun game untile Cuphead came out.
