I had this game when I was a kid one of my favorites

@Justin-rv7oy 7 лет назад

Try the PC Engine version of Image Fight (much better) or Image Fight II on the PC Engine CD.

@ScottMurphy76 7 лет назад

Snazzy Crowd1212 , the PC Engine version is awesome. Image Fight 2 is ridiculously hard, the music is amazing

@Kj16V 7 лет назад

PC engine: that's Japanese version of the Master System isn't it? I've only recently realised that the Master System was so much better than the NES. Just never had the iconic games to match it's power.

@Justin-rv7oy 7 лет назад

Kj16V PC Engine is the Japanese version of the TurboGrafx 16, although it was more popular and had a much larger library in Japan than in NA.

@@ScottMurphy76 do you know if this is the version on PSN offered through hamster corporation??? Not sure why they choose that name for a company, but they're probably rolling in the dough after acquiring all the space shooters they can from the 80s/90s.

@ScottMurphy76 4 года назад

Brian C , I didn’t even know image fight was on the PSN. Is it on PS4? Or PS3?

The story is that you're actually a TRAINEE spaceship pilot for the first five levels. I guess when an alien invasion happens, our army must be so bad we need to send a trainee to fight them. The Famicom version has a couple of odd changes that I've noticed. It has one extra screen in the opening with the ship launching, as I recall. And the palettes are changed slightly, so in the Famicom version we get a space black background, compared to the NES blue ocean. And they also added or removed (I forget which way they went) rapid fire (holding the shoot button) to the NES version.

One of my favorite shooters on the NES & very hard. The only shooter harder than this is Zanac, but that game is just insanity.

@jmyers1385 7 лет назад

I hadn't considered the similarities between this and R-Type, but the resemblance is striking in places, which I have no problems with. Great review! :D

@spartonberry 7 лет назад

IREM did make one fairly easy (as I recall) shooter, though. A license-based game for the Famicom called Taiyou no Yuusha (Hero of the Sun) Firebird (or Faibird, some call it). A pretty decent game, with a few characters (with different vehicles, as I recall). The only tricky part as I recall was one level where (as I remember) the Select button was needed to activate ground switches to progress (normally I think it was a menu button of some kind). I had been playing a fan-translation of the game that omitted translating that part.

Image Fight II on PC Engine CD is awesome

@skabcat242 7 лет назад

I would love to have that cover art as an poster.

@JoJaDaRu 4 года назад

I've heard this was a big influence on Radiant Silvergun.

@lynchie137 7 лет назад

Two Captain Power references in one review? That gets an automatic like from me.Hell, I wish I could give you a thousand and one likes for that.

@Sinn0100 3 года назад

My God the sound is absolutely brutal. Too be perfectly honest, had I picked this up in 1990 I would have been extremely dissatisfied with it. By that point (anytime in 1990) I had a Sega Genesis and I rarely played my Nes. When I did it was generally for Ninja Gaiden or Super Mario Brothers 3. Image Fight looks like a very, very early Nes game from 1985 or 1986.

@DamaramuHQ 7 лет назад

Heh, the spaceship on the label of that game is just the MiG-31 Firefox with a shortened and blunted nose!

@Bloodreign1 7 лет назад

I do have this version, but I also have the one on PS1 bundled with X-Multiply, but that version is quite expensive. I did get lucky and got my copy for $57, passed it up in a shop in San Antonio, but a forumer I know picked it up for me, paid him price ($50) plus the 7 bucks for taxes and shipping (which to be honest was not bad at all). If I play this one, it will be the PS1 version (1 of 4 Arcade Gears releases, PS1 got only 3 of the 4, Saturn got all 4, the 4th being Gun Frontier from Taito).

@ericemme747 7 лет назад

I'll have to check this one out.

@Randomark3087 7 лет назад

Likewise

@KesMonkey 7 лет назад

I love the arcade original, including the music. The NES version is a decent conversion that doesn't do the music of the arcade game justice.

@XEric30 7 лет назад

It been a long time since I heard of Captain Power... Good work Mark! God bless CGR!

@TheSillySteveShow 7 лет назад

Nice, Never heard of this one. Also i like your videos on vinyls B-) \m/

@Randomark3087 7 лет назад

I'm a sucker for these types of games. I'll probably have to add it to my collection.

@TekMoliGy 7 лет назад

wtf i never knew the nes advantage had a slo mo button. Thats awesome. I'll have to actually use mine for once lol.

@ZacharyB 7 лет назад

The arcade version has excellent music. This NES version can't compare. The best is the track for the last level, "FINAL MISSION". The composer (same guy who did the soundtrack to X-Multiply, check out that soundtrack too) said it was actually supposed to be the track for the first stage, but the rest of the developers switched it up.

@TheL1arL1ar 7 лет назад

Never heard of this but woot!

@ScubaDiverPicker Год назад

Excellent game! Really underrated imo. Also rare as Metal Storm but nobody knows about it.

@dcikaruga 7 лет назад

The PC Engine version is quite nice as well.

@praxicoide 7 лет назад

Jeez. I have this game and have never gotten far. The levels look interesting. I'll give it another shot.

@ShadowACE1998 7 лет назад

1:12 Power On! Mark will get that. LOL

@TarksGauntlet 7 лет назад

I generally find shmups like this lack stage variety. This seems to mix it up a bit. Might seek it out.

@CarozQH 7 лет назад

Brought to you by the developers of Deadly Towers (and Mercenary Force. That was actually good.)

@Ruudos 7 лет назад

This game definitely has check points

@soterioncoil2163 7 лет назад

I can't help thinking that someone had this game when they were a kid.

@andrewsegers7942 4 года назад

I found some ninetendo tapes today. None of them were this game though.

@ironkong26 7 лет назад

damn this is so,e nostalgia

@Michirin9801 7 лет назад

I've played this a little bit on the PC engine, don't remember anything about it...

@racerxgundam 7 лет назад

seems like fame has brought along weirdo stalkers...lmfao

@Deep_wolf 7 лет назад

ai-rem? Not e-rem?

@Mitsuraga 7 лет назад

This is the same man who insists on calling it Ninja Gay-den.

@OriginalGrasshopper 3 года назад

Why is there no score for the player? So odd!

@Progearspec 7 лет назад

Id suggest the pc-engine port more mark it's closer to the arcade original.

@fredfuchs3573 7 лет назад

I thought he look like the first MegaMan cover

@VirussRuss 7 лет назад

will look for this one never play it looks like it will be a good challenge

@jmac79ers 2 года назад

Dude looks like Flak viper

@philmason9653 2 года назад

I wish this game wasn't ignored in its time. It had a bit of a legacy in Japan, and inspired a number of designers in one way or another. It was very much a gamer's game. Had they put the it forward as a semi-spiritual follow up to R-Type, I would have checked it out for sure. Instead I just thought it was some generic shooter with a dumb title.

@troyking464 7 лет назад

I miss Undertow.

@nickolasecker9596 7 лет назад

I much prefer the Pc engine version, better visuals, far better music and controls. Brutally difficult game that requires absolute perfect performance, in a similar fashion to R-Type.

@Bloodreign1 7 лет назад

PS1 and Saturn versions, though pretty expensive, are far closer to the arcade original quite honestly. The sequel however was PCE CD only.

@nickolasecker9596 7 лет назад

I have an *unofficial* version of image fight/x-multiply on the Saturn and yes it's arcade perfect, pretty much at least. I feel Lord Karnage would really enjoy X-Multiply, it's right up his alley.

@Bloodreign1 7 лет назад

I'd say it's just as creepy as R-Type is, this time being in a woman's body invaded by aliens and all.
