''Jets'n'Guns''〔The title of the game is variously referred to as ''Jets'n'Guns'', ''Jets'N'Guns'' and ''JETS'N'GUNS'' in official materials. These include the official website, and various versions of the game itself.〕 (also shortened to ''JnG'') is a 2D, side-scrolling shoot 'em up computer game released in late 2004 for Microsoft Windows by RakeInGrass software. In April 2006, a version for Mac OS X was released. In December 2006 an expansion, ''Jets'n'Guns Gold'', was released. A version for Linux has been developed by Linux Game Publishing. ==Overview== The developers have stated they were heavily inspired by the games ''Tyrian 2000'', ''Project-X'' and ''Walker''. As in Tyrian, players earn money by destroying enemies and picking up bonuses in each level. In-between levels, players can purchase weapons and devices for their ship, and upgrade them, provided they have enough money. However, Jets'n'Guns is more complex than Tyrian in this respect. There are many more weapons to choose from, and a greater variety of devices to purchase and more ways to upgrade the player's ship. Also, unlike in Tyrian, where a player could get through most, if not all of the game using the weapons available at the start of the game (with upgrades and new ship systems), in JnG the player is forced to experiment with their weapons in order to be successful. The game has no ''lives'', so the player can keep attempting a level until they beat it. According to the developers, one of the reasons they chose to do a side scroller, as opposed to a vertical scroller, was so they could put in lots of visual humour. Players can expect to see, among other things, spacefighters with knives strapped to them and various humorous signs. They can also expect most of the weapons in the weapon shop have advertising posters, emblazoned with messages such as "Ultimate destructive power!" or "As seen on TV!". Also, cultural references are scattered throughout the game, both in the equipment and the actual levels. The side scrolling nature of the game introduces an unusual strategy. When some enemy ships are shot down, they crash down onto enemies and buildings on the ground, often with devastating results. Killing ground troops often results in masses of blood and tiny body parts flying across the screen. The RakeInGrass distributed version of the game is currently at version 1.222. A French translation patch is now available from the official website. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jets'n'Guns」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
