Progear is a horizontal shoot-'em-up released for the Capcom
CPS 2.
It was co-produced by CAVE and is one of the last true 2-D horizontal
scrolling shooters. No polygons here, just beautiful hand drawn graphics.The
player must cut through a path among the pockets formed by the enemy fire, as is
a staple of manic shooter gameplay. While dodging the Bullet-Storm or
Bullet-Hell, the player also uses the different shot methods (Fighter Mode or
Gunner Mode) to turn enemies and bullets on-screen into jewels...these jewels
can then be collected for higher scores and more powerful bombs
