The third installment in the "Irem Collection" series, which revives Irem's classic arcade and home console titles for the latest systems! This release includes three titles in seven versions: the Japanese and American arcade versions and the PC Engine version of "Mr. Heli's Great Adventure," the Japanese and American arcade versions of "Magical Security Team Gunhawky," and the Japanese and American arcade versions of "Dragon Breed"! All of these are long-awaited titles being ported to home consoles for the first time!
"Mr. Heli's Great Adventure" is a side-scrolling shooting game released for arcades in 1987. To save a collapsing planet, you control Mr. Heli, an adorable orange helicopter with tiny legs, and progress through various stages such as floating green islands, moving rock formations, and an underground clock tower, defeating enemies and avoiding obstacles. Along the way, you can collect crystals to purchase power-up items, and the goal is to defeat the final boss, MUDDY, lurking deep underground. It features pop and vibrant graphics and comical characters, which are unusual for Irem works from this period, but the difficulty is high and it offers a considerable challenge. "Irem Collection Vol. 3" also includes the PC Engine version released in 1989.
"Dragon Breed" is a side-scrolling shooting game released for arcades in 1989. The player takes on the role of the young king Caius, and his goal is to defeat the demon lord in the final stage with the help of the giant dragon Bahamut. The protagonist can attack by riding on the dragon's back and using weapons, or the dragon can perform body slams, or the dragon's long body can wrap around the protagonist to protect him from enemy attacks. Bahamut's versatility, which can be used for both offense and defense depending on the situation, is the true essence of Irem's shooting games, and the presence of Bahamut, with whom the player gradually develops a bond, is the game's greatest feature.
"Magical Security Team Gunhawk" is a side-scrolling shooting game released for arcades in 1992. The game is themed around wizards riding brooms, and its colorful, pop, and cute graphics and cheerful music create a world that is unusual for Irem's shooting games. However, the game's strategic depth and depth, such as "charge shots" to fire powerful magic and "broom shoots" where the broom flies in the opposite direction to the input, are characteristic of Irem's style. It also supports two-player simultaneous play and joining mid-game, which were becoming mainstream at the time.
The Irem Collection includes various features to allow you to fully enjoy these masterpieces, such as online rankings, instant rewind function, and save/load functionality. The common charm of Irem's classic works is the graphics and music that express their unique worldview at a high level. The limited edition comes with a soundtrack containing the game's music and a special art book featuring graphics expressed with masterful pixel art as luxurious bonus items. Be sure to purchase the limited edition to fully immerse yourself in the games, graphics, and music of Irem's masterpieces.
