Image Fight
Known for its challenging and fast-paced gameplay, this vertical-scrolling arcade title was first released in 1988. It became the most successful table arcade game according to several magazines, with a rating of 7.60 in December 1988. Despite its success Image Fight never found its way out of Japan as an arcade game.
Set sometime in the future, Aliens have destroyed bases on the moon and begun an offensive against other military space areas. Humankind built the “OF-1 Daedalus”, a spaceship that is meant to destroy Alien invasion. Each pilot goes through a training process before officially boarding OF-1 Daedalus to defeat the invaders and earn eternal glory.
Image Fight II: Operation Deepstriker
Released in December 1992 after the immediate success of Image Fight on the arcade, Image Fight II: Operation Deepstriker made its way to the PCE engine super CD-ROM. Only ever since being officially released in Japan, ININ Games is proud to bring Image Fight II to Western audiences!
In Image Fight II, play as pilot Sho in the new OF-3 Garuda spaceship to fend off the new attacks of the alien invaders and save the world. This sequel promises improved animations, detailed lore (learn more about pilot Sho and his family), new visual scenes, and a timeless soundtrack by Takashi Hiyamata and Hiroshi Kimura.
Get lost in the world of alien invasions and keep an eye out for IREM easter eggs! References to R-Type and Carpenter’s Gen-San can be found in this iconic title.
