EDIT: On a widescreen monitor, you may need to change DOSbox settings (edit STARGUN.CONF in Notepad to change "aspect=false" to "aspect=true" if it isn't already) to fix the aspect ratio. You may also need to disable Steam Overlay then, since the pop-up will get stuck in the margin. This is a pretty solid side-scrolling shooter from the nineties. Sound and graphics are similar to what you'd expect from a classic Amiga action game, with bouncy MOD format music, pre-rendered 3d art and animation, and parallax scrolling. The Steam version runs in DOSbox, since this is an old MS-DOS game. It was very stable on my Windows XP system. I used mouse control for this, and it felt pretty good.

Really good shoot 'em up so far. Tried playing on a Mac Track Pad the first go (bad idea), so I am gonna try hooking up a SNES controller to it next.
I can't believe how long it took me to find this game, being born in 1990 was great I grew up playing games like this a Duke Nukem -- for the longest time I couldn't remember the name Stargunner was one of my favorite games growing and Im glad I finally found it and the best part is it was free flying through space in a side-scrolling shooter has never been so much fun again with the ability to upgrade your ship with protection and different types of plasma guns and turrets really does make the experience quite joyful, gathering crystals from killing enemies to earn credits in order to attain these upgrades. Even though the game can be challenging at times these are the reasons you continue to come back for more. Stargunner was great in the 90's and continues to be so today if you haven't played yet your childhood was dull make up for it now, it wont cost you a dime!
Holy nuke! Didn't remember this game is THAT HARD!
Fun side scrolling, shoot-em-up fro the DOS days. Plus its free!
Despite the aged graphics, it's still as hard as I remember. No handholding in this game.
