The game supports the Sega Light Phaser. Two can be used simultaneously for cooperative play in two-player mode. The game was released in Japan for Shooting Zone, a Master System-compatible arcade board dedicated to light gun games.[3] However, due to the aesthetics of the Arcade cabinet, this version only supports a single light gun.

Gameplay

The player(s) progress through several levels including a target range, street shootouts, armed car chases, a bar shootout and a battle at a dock. The final stage is a boss gangster armed with a machine gun. Other criminals require only one shot to kill, causing their spirits to float upward, where they too can be shot.

In the car chase sequence, the player's character drives a car along a road, approaching several criminal vehicles from behind. Each car has several gangsters who lean out of the window and return fire. Enemy cars can be destroyed by shooting the tires. The player vehicle drives automatically.
