Irem: An Arcade Legacy

A mainstay in the arcades of the 80s and 90s, Irem's games were renowned for their high difficulty level, gorgeous pixel art, and fast-paced action.

Many a quarter or 100 yen coin was spent trying to beat Irem's extremely challenging but even more addictive masterpieces, earning them the respect of arcade aficionados not just at home in Japan but worldwide.

 

After last year's Volume 1, this 2nd volume keeps up the high octane momentum with three more shooters:

 

GunForce I and II turn you into a one-, or if you grab a friend, two-man army on an explosive mission to save the world!  Once you've saved the surface the skies await in Air Duel. Hop into a helicopter gunship or a fighter jet and clean up the air!

YOU'VE BEATEN VOLUME 1?

 

THEN RELOAD YOUR WEAPONS AND GET READY FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE!

About Air Duel

After a global catastrophe the shadowy D.A.S. organization has taken control of Earth. Become a World Defense Force pilot, hop into a helicopter, or strap yourself into a fighter jet and clear the skies in seven missions! Mobilize a friend and have him join you in the air in the local couch co-op.

About GunForce

The rogue nation only known as "R" has unleashed a supercomputer hellbent on conquering the globe. After disabling the world's defensive systems only an elite commando operation might still be able to stop them: GunForce!

Use a variety of weapons and vehicles to run and gun your way through both the SNES and Arcade versions of this pioneering action title.

A much-improved sequel; this run and gun is a feast for the eyes. Huge detailed and beautifully animated sprite art crowns Irem's legacy as this was their final game.

Join the GunForce for a second time.

 

Everything that made the prequel so great was cranked up to 11:

Weapons, Vehicles, Explosions, Music, Action!

 

All Volumes of the Irem Collection come with a variety of extra features:

 

Rewind and Save-states for a more forgiving experience are an option but if you want to really test your skills shoot for the high score in classic mode and rise through the online leaderboards!

 

Show the world what you're made of!
