GunHed: Aratanaru Tatakai
Nintendo Entertainment System · 1990
About this game
In the years that follow the event of the movie GunHed, Kyron-5 is re-activated, attracting scavenge hunters to return to the island 8JO seeking to retrieve the Texmexium that Kyron-5 runs on, all while clashing with each other in Heavy Eliminate Devices (or HEDs).
Acting as a sequel to the movie it's based on, GunHed: Aratanaru Tatakai presents the titular "New Battle" as a turn-based tactic game for 1-4 players.

If you select the singleplayer mode (1P), you play a 1v1 match against the AI.
If you select 2P, 3P or 4P, you play in a hotseat multiplayer mode where all players are controlled using Controller 1.
Your goal in the game is to build up your units through battles with the other scavenger teams before entering the tower at the center of the island to battle the Aerobot.
When the game begins, each player has one HED located near their designated landing point, but is able to select the deployment locations of the rest of the fleet anywhere else on the island.
Scattered on the island are gray buildings that restore your HED's energy and health.
On this tactical map, you can use items such as Napalm (area damage around your HED, destroys deployables in range), M-Sonar (reveals deployables), E-Cutter (energy-draining trap), L-M (land mine), S.
Bomb (smoke bomb, protection from long-range missile), Guerrilla (item-stealing trap), ALM (Auto Long-range Missile), V-C (Bind Controller, transfers control of the HED that steps on it to the trap owner), DBG (Device Blocking Jammer, stuns the HED stepping on it for 3 turns).
HEDs destroyed by items don't grant experience points, as opposed to direct combat, which is initiated by moving a unit to the same square as an opposing HED.
Before any battle, you can set up your HED by redistributing its stats and selecting the control mode.
In the Semi mode, you play as the HED's gunner but let the AI control the HED's movement.
In the Manual mode, you control both the HED's movement and weapon system.
In the Auto mode, you spect
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks GunHed: Aratanaru Tatakai for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding GunHed: Aratanaru Tatakai to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1990.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
