| history | Gunbird 2 (c) 1998 Psikyo. In this vertical shoot'em up, you have five selectable characters who fight the big army of pirates but this time to collect elemental potions. - TECHNICAL - Main CPU : SH-2 (@ 28.63635 Mhz) Sound Chips : YMF278B (@ 28.63635 Mhz) Screen orientation : Vertical Video resolution : 224 x 320 pixels Screen refresh : 60.00 Hz Palette colors : 5120 Players : 2 Control : 8-way joystick Buttons : 3 - TRIVIA - ALUCARD, a selectable character, backwards spells DRACULA. Aine originally appeared in "Samurai Aces" and as a hidden character in "Tengai" as Ayin. Here in Gunbird 2, he has quite a 'different' type of bomb attack :). Gunbird 2 shares some similarities with the 1975 anime series 'Time Bokan': * The flag symbol in Time Bokan is a clear skull and in this game is a 2P like a skull. * The thin guy has a very ugly nose also a moustache and teeth like a rabbit (he is the same in the game and the anime). * The fat guy has a beard. In this game and in Time Bokan, he has a semi-shaved beard (so with the exception of the beard, the guy is almost the same). * The chief is a luxuriant woman (in the anime, she always was topless in the end). * In Time Bokan, the bad guys always show a stupid new-robot to defeat the good guys. In the game is the same. Note : There are 27 different endings! The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to three smileys. Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Gunbird 2, Gunbird - SGCD-0003) on 04/12/1998. - TIPS AND TRICKS - * Maintenance Code : In test mode, enter this code... 5-2-0-4-8 for Maintenace Mode [Stage Select (Loads of cool stuff here), Obj Test, BG TestPlay Status, Stage Status] 5-3-5-7-3 All Data Initialised. 5-3-7-6-5 Sit an AINE Flag1 (Displays 'AINE ?' at test, extra 'explicit' character on random box). 5-1-0-2-4 Sit an AINE Flag2 (Displays 'AINE OK' at test, use AINE by pressing 'Down' on random box). 5-3-1-5-7 AINE Flag Cancelled (Clears AINE from being playable, as default). - SERIES -
