Gunhawk Gameplay: Player fighting Dragonship Boss

Gunhawk (NES)

Gunhawk is lightgun game for the original Nintendo Entertainment System that can be played with either the NES Zapper or a standard NES controller.

In Gunhawk, you will control the eponymous mech as you shoot your way through 5 multi-stage sectors to escape the enemy base. Between levels, you will have the opportunity to upgrade the Gunhawk’s capabilities and become more powerful. 

As you clear each sector, the story of the game will unfold through dialogue cutscenes. Optional events give you a chance to tap into enemy communications for additional upgrades, but this will not be without risk.
