Image Fight - pc engine (1990)

Image fight for the pc engine. Stages 1~3. This game gets a bit of a bad rep mostly because of its difficulty. Well as you can see I used the default setting (recruit) and thank goodness for the auto fire option. The arcade version you need to mash the buttons like mad! Like all pc engine games by IREM the music is a bit 'tinny' but I strangely like it.
Some nice codes in image fight:
1) Do a soft reset (Start+Select), immediately hold I to change screen size.
2) Press select on the title screen to access Sound Test
3) Highlight 'song C' in sound test mode and press down, select, II + I together. Next press I on the name 'Mr. Heli' when it appears and then press run to play mr heli ship.

Did anybody manage to make that Mr Heli cheat work? I tried hard but to no avail, nothing happens when I press those buttons simultaneously on Song C. Any tip?

@retrogaming

Thanks for uploading this. I love this game, easily one the best underrated games for the pc-engine. I had no idea this port had tate mode though. I need to check that out tonight.

whoops its not really tate.. but its similar if u get what I mean. the original arcade game had a vertical screen and this code alters the screen size and sprite pixels.

i remember that Mr. Heli cheat from back in the day. Did you know there's a similar one for Image Fight 2 on the SCD?

Great vid!

[DigiHatesMakingNames]

I've never played image fight 2.. I wish someone would post a video of it.

This looks like an awesome port!

[retrogaming]

Could you make a short video showing the Mr Heli code? I must be missing something... do you really press down, select, II + I all at the same time? The Mr Heli song track doesn't appear for me.

[retrogaming]

It just stretches the resolution actually to 334 pixels (instead of 256) as to make the image narrower.

this game looks epic!

Irem is mad!

Does MAME have turbo or rapid fire? Knowing when to shift makes it much easier, too.

If you read the wiki on radiant silvergun there's a link where the designer said that he was inspired by Image Fight!

P.S.

Watching This Makes Me Wanna Beat This Game All Over Again... I Would Love To See This End Up In The Wii Virtual Console List.
