Following the rollout of the F71 G-Cannon in UC 0115, a long-range support option was developed to enhance its capabilities. The Long-Range Support Type’s new armaments included a super long distance beam shooter, a twin grenade launcher, a pair of large missile launchers and a 2-barrel 88mm heavy rifle that could load High Velocity Armor Piercing ammunition. The Long-Range Support Type also featured other upgrades in the form of leg booster packs for increased speed, support apogee motors mounted on the left shoulder and a precision firing camera mounted on the right shoulder. Similar to the RGM-109 Heavygun Heavy Attack Type, the optional parts could be quickly removed via explosive charges. Despite the benefits of the extended range, swapping out the unit’s shoulder armor was found to reduce its flexibility.

This week's retrospective video covers three games that share two traits in common:
1. They are shooting games about mechs or robots or what have you
2. They are not very good
Join me in a sigh of relief that we NES owners dodged these wretched bullets https://youtu.be/uwXjJaPYXPU
