TRIVIA

Released in May 1994.

Gururin translates from Japanese as something like 'accomplice' or 'cohort'. Makes sense considering the noblemen fall in pairs.

Gururin is Face's first game developed and released for the SNK Neo-Geo MVS hardware and was not released on the Neo-Geo AES home console.
