''[[GunNac]]'' is a [[Shoot'Em Up]] by [[Compile]] released for the NES in 1991.
The game's plot tells the story of a far-off artificial solar system named IOTA [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Synthetica]], which is being colonized by the people of Earth due to depleted resources. The real trouble begins when a wave of cosmic energy causes animals and even inanimate objects to come alive and start attacking the people. All is not lost, for the [[The Federation|Space Federation]] has enlisted the help of Gun Nac! Gun Nac's mission is to search to system's 7 planets for signs of hostile forces, perhaps even an [[Alien Invaders|invader]]...
While ''GunNac'' is fairly obscure, it is rather popular for its smooth gameplay, detailed graphics, and quirky setting. It also has an unusually high degree of customization.
{{tropelist}}
* [[1-Up]]: Not only provides an extra life, but it also doubles as a Wing attachment. Depending on whether or not the ship has a Wing attached, each 1-up token collected potentially allows Gun Nac to take up to two extra hits per game.
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: And there are plenty of 50-foot whatevers to go around.
Line 17:
* [[Every Ten Thousand Points|Every 10,000 Points]]: You receive a 1-Up at certain score plateaus.
* [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You]]: ''Quite'' literally. Everything ranging from [[Killer Rabbit|bunnies]], lighters, toilet paper, umbrellas, coins, pottery... and so forth.
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: The sub-weapon bombs come in 4 flavors: Blizzard, Fire, Thunder
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The Stage 3 mid-boss is a humanoid mermaid. In order to defeat her, you have to blow off both of her arms.
* [[God Mode]]: Non-Death.
* [[Homing Projectile]]: Weapon type 3 in Gun Nac's arsenal, as well as some of the enemies' attacks.
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: Weapon type 4.
** Many of the enemy craft in Area 2 use fire-based attacks.
* [[Made of Explodium]]: Everything.
* [[Making a Splash]]: The Type-W bomb fills the entire screen with a cascade of droplets, arguably making it the most effective of the 4 bombs.
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
* [[Moon Rabbit]]: Area 1 is nothing but this trope.
* [[Multiple Endings]]
* ''[[Nick Arcade]]'': Notable because it appeared on some episodes with the so-called "Nick Arcade Beta" version of ''Sonic 2''.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Expert difficulty + Ricochet of Bullets + Speed Has Priority = Aggrivation.
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Partially averted. Picking up a Wing upgrade not only allows more powerful guns to be used, it also allows Gun Nac to absorb one hit without exploding. However, without a Wing attachment equipped, it's one hit, you're dead.
