Gunbare! Game Tengoku: The Game Paradise 2

About

Gunbare! Game Tengoku 2 is a 1998 PlayStation shooter where a gun peripheral or second controller adds a layer of tactical cover fire. Players guide characters through chaotic levels, battling waves of enemies while strategically positioning their partner’s automatic support. The game blends frantic bullet-dodging with timing-based combos, all set to a quirky storyline about a rogue scientist and an arcade clerk’s tech-savvy rescue mission. The title’s standout is its hardware flexibility, original gun controllers let one player focus on positioning while the other handles firepower, but any DualShock works too. Despite a niche audience, its mix of co-op mechanics and Jaleco’s recognizable characters earned it a cult following. Over 20 years later it remains a forgotten gem for fans of offbeat arcade crossovers.

Storyline

Genius Yamada, the evil genius scientist who was supposed to have been repelled in the previous title, has once again raided the You&Me Kamiyoga game center and taken over the video game world. However, Yuki Ito, a clerk at the arcade, anticipates the situation and activates a program she has prepared to fight off Genius Yamada. JALECO's game characters gather again to retake the game world, but due to some mistake, Yuki Ito herself has also entered the game world.
