■Image Fight
"Image Fight" is a vertical scrolling shooter highly praised for its refined game design, innovative setting, and captivating worldview.
A key feature of the game is its integrated stage structure, in which players must overcome a virtual training stage in the first half to advance to a real-life combat stage in the second half in order to face enemy attacks.
Furthermore, the training stage bosses, stages, enemies, and player ship power-ups are all unique and impactful.
■Image Fight 2
"Image Fight 2" is the sequel to "Image Fight," which was released exclusively for home consoles.
Visual scenes that make full use of the CD-ROM, a first for game consoles at the time, further enhance the story.
The game itself has been enhanced in every aspect, including attack methods and new enemies, and received high praise from the time of its release.
■X MULTIPLY
"X MULTIPLY" is a side-scrolling shooter characterized by its biological graphics and unique attack methods.
By collecting items, two tentacles sprout from the top and bottom of your ship can be used for both attack and defense, but the position and direction of the tentacles change in a quirky way, just like a living creature, so it takes some getting used to using them.
The stages are also varied, requiring you to skillfully use the tentacles to attack according to the situation.
