The Story
Treasure was formed by ex-Konami developers who wanted to make games without corporate creative constraints. Gunstar Heroes was their debut — a run-and-gun with a weapon combination system that created exponentially varied loadouts, screen-filling boss sequences, and a co-op mode that matched Streets of Rage for chaos and beat it for creativity. The Genesis had no business rendering what Gunstar Heroes asked it to render. It did anyway.
