[Source] Runark / Gun Frontier Scitron / Pony Canyon PCCB-00060 Apr 21, 1991 [Generator] MAME 0.248 (modded by Valley Bell) What do you get when you combine a 1990s environmentalist "save the animals" theme with a beat 'em up? If you're Taito, the result is one of the higher-octane beat 'em ups in arcades, with the game regularly filling the screen with double-digit numbers of enemies (which is impressive for arcade hardware of the time). Play as a bootleg Indiana Jones with up to three other players as you destroy poachers with guns, whips and the occasional sword, and receive nick-of-time assistance from the animal kingdom as it smashes your opponents to a pulp! It's so over the top that it's admirable. This larger-than-life game naturally comes with an epic soundtrack, and it delivers on numerous fronts in both slow and fast moments. In particular, "Rune & Ark" is probably one of the best tracks that the Zuntata band has created. So much so that when I found out the previous version of this pack had the track trimmed too short, I took the time to do a relog of it to its correct length--and then went on to relog the rest of the pack for consistency, given how much MAME has developed in 10 years. The old version also had a half-second of silence at the start of each track for no apparent reason, so I took care of that as well. The track titles in this pack were sourced from the "Runark / Gun Frontier" CD release, whose track list is shown differently on the back of the case and within the insert. I chose the insert version of the tracklist, which includes contextual labels for where they're heard (even if they seem weird), and the Japanese tags retain the formatting and grammatical strangeness from the original. Also sourced from the CD is the presentation of track 3, which assigns a single title to both the coin-insertion jingle and the music which plays if you wait long enough at the title screen afterward. These are two separate sound codes in the game data, and in fact the second will not play if you press Start too quickly! For track 3, I logged the direct output of the game in this situation; however, I've also provided the two tracks separately if you wish to listen to them that way. The "Coin" track is truncated on account of its length otherwise deriving from an excessively long decay rate on the last FM instruments heard; if you raise the jingle pause in your VGMPlay settings, you'll hear that they will not fully fade out until after a *full minute* of playtime has passed. At any rate, enjoy! -The Golden Horse
