'Metal Black' is an arcade shoot 'em up released by Taito. It is the end result of "Project Gun Frontier 2," but bears little resemblance to the original Gun Frontier as it was made by the same development staff of Gun Frontier. It is more similar to another Taito shooter, Darius.
Players control the Black Fly on their mission to defeat the forces of Nemesis in hopes of saving the human race.

When a player's beam collided with a bosses, it would culminate in a spectacular reaction before the more powerful attack would push the weaker down.
