Front Mission Series: Gun Hazard (フロントミッションシリーズ ガンハザード?) is a side-scrolling role-playing shooter video game developed by Omiya Soft and published by Squaresoft, and was released in Japan on February 23, 1996 for the Super Famicom game console.Gun Hazard is the first spin-off entry and the second entry overall in the Front Mission series. Unlike all other Front Mission titles, Gun Hazard takes place in a completely separate universe.Gun Hazard was also released on the Japanese Wii's Virtual Console service on May 20, 2008. A fan-made English translation patch for Gun Hazard was released on August 13, 2004 by the group "Aeon Genesis".
As a side-scrolling shooter spin-off, the gameplay of Gun Hazard differs from the tactical role-playing game entries of the numbered Front Mission titles. Rather than being played out on a grid-based map and using a turn-based structure, battles takes place in real-time on scrolling 2D maps akin to Assault Suits Valken. The player controls one character who pilots a mech known as the wanderpanzer, or wanzer. A second, AI-controlled ally unit can be chosen to provide support to the player during missions. The player can control their ally's actions, such as ordering them to retreat or use their special weapons. This ally unit can also be controlled by a second player through the use of a secret in-game cheat.
