''[=GunNac=]'' is a ShootEmUp by {{Compile}} released for the NES in 1991.
The game's plot tells the story of a far-off artificial solar system named IOTA [[IncrediblyLamePun Synthetica]], which is being colonized by the people of Earth due to depleted resources. The real trouble begins when a wave of cosmic energy causes animals and even inanimate objects to come alive and start attacking the people. All is not lost, for the [[TheFederation Space Federation]] has enlisted the help of Gun Nac! Gun Nac's mission is to search to system's 7 planets for signs of hostile forces, perhaps even an [[AlienInvaders invader]]...
While ''[=GunNac=]'' is fairly obscure, it is rather popular for its smooth gameplay, detailed graphics, and quirky setting. It also has an unusually high degree of customization.

* NintendoHard: Expert difficulty + Ricochet of Bullets + Speed Has Priority = Aggrivation.
* OneHitPointWonder: Partially averted. Picking up a Wing upgrade not only allows more powerful guns to be used, it also allows Gun Nac to absorb one hit without exploding. However, without a Wing attachment equipped, it's one hit, you're dead.
* OneUp: Not only provides an extra life, but it also doubles as a Wing attachment. Each one collected effectively allows Gun Nac to take two extra hits per game.
* PlayingWithFire: Type-4 weapon is a massive flamethrower. Possibly the most useful of the 5 types, especially when coupled with the Wing upgrade.
* WidgetSeries: From the moon/rabbit symbolism to fighting a lucky cat figurine in Area 5, I'd say this game fits the criteria well.
