Polymega Collection Vol.17: Gunbird – Is It Worth Playing? Review & Verdict

Blast off into the golden age of arcade sci-fi shooters with this Polymega Collection DVD, headlined by PSIKYO’s legendary GUNBIRD. First unleashed in arcades in the mid-’90s, GUNBIRD helped define the studio’s signature style: fast, vertically scrolling action, razor-sharp bullet patterns, and a cast of eccentric characters brought to life with humor and personality. This collection lets you experience GUNBIRD in both its original Arcade form and its Saturn home release, alongside fan-favorite sequel GUNBIRD 2 (Arcade), preserving the intensity and charm that made PSIKYO a name synonymous with hardcore shoot-’em-ups. Rounding out the package is a thoughtfully curated lineup of classic arcade and console titles, all playable on Polymega. Take to the skies with Exerion, Cybattler, Skyfox (Exerizer), and E.D.F., test your reflexes with the puzzle-shooter hybrid Gunbarich, and explore deeper sci-fi action in Second Earth: Gratia. The collection also bridges the arcade and console worlds with Earth Defense Force / Super E.D.F. and Operation: Logic Bomb (JP: Ikari no Yousai) for the SNES / Super Famicom. Grab a friend and blast your way into sci-fi shooting heaven!
