The SEGA Genesis was home to its fair share of classics that shouldn’t be missed, and luckily for nostalgic gamers, many of the console’s most beloved games are quite ubiquitous, showing up on many modern consoles and handhelds as both downloadable titles and in compilation packs. Now, you can add another classic to the mix as Treasure’s blistering action shooter, Gunstar Heroes, is now available for iPhone and iPod touch via the App Store.

Gunstar Heroes is an insanely fast and way fun shooter that demands lightning fast reflexes and sharp controls, something that the iPhone is not particularly known for. Still, for better or worse,Gunstar Heroes is on the iPhone.

If you are at all curious as to how this classic handles on Apple devices, you can download it from the App Store for $2.99/2.39€/1.79£/AU$3.99. And should you snag it, let us know in the comments how it plays!
