Broforce

Pixel art

Shooting and gunplay

A legendary run-and-gun classic with gorgeously animated pixel art, slapstick humor and frantic firefights where you hijack tanks and rescue prisoners. Best enjoyed in two-player co-op, and as punishing as any great arcade game.

Contra: Operation Galuga

Shooting and gunplay

You run and gun through punishing stages in the spirit of the legendary 80s series, now with modern graphics and sound. Teaming up with a friend in Story Mode or with up to three others in Arcade Mode makes the explosive co-op combat especially fun.

Gunstar Heroes

Shooting and gunplay

A frantic Mega Drive run-and-gun with mix-and-match weapons, explosive boss fights and wild set pieces. The chaos is even better in two-player co-op.

Capcom Arcade Stadium
