Time: the future - Metro City is under attack from legions of robots directed by a twisted dictator. Your squard of mech-suited cops hits the ground, transformed into deadly defense units. Your city is buckling, street by street - can you stop a total mech takeover?

Horned Owl is a rail-shooter that can take advantage of the PlayStation mouse or the Konami light gun. Three main characters are available. The levels are all city-based with multiple mech style enemies to dispatch. The game plays pretty quick as there are only five levels. Masamune Shirow, famous for the anime Ghost In The Shell, was involved with the character design.
