Metal Storm

A game by Tamtex and Irem for NES, originally released in 1991.

CONTEXT
Metal Storm was never a terribly popular game, despite the fact that it was published by Irem, the company behind R-Type and a longtime publisher/developer of games on the NES. The game also did not benefit much from its 12-page cover story in Nintendo Power.
