All of these are known as unique masterpieces of shooting games.

• Image Fight
  "Image Fight" is a highly praised vertical scrolling shooter recognized for its perfected game design, innovative settings, and captivating world. The stage structure is closely integrated with the story, as players must clear virtual training stages in the first half to advance to actual combat stages in the second half, confronting enemy assaults. The bosses, stages, enemies, and power-ups in the training stages are all characterized by their individuality and strong impact.

• Image Fight 2
  "Image Fight 2" is a sequel to "Image Fight," released exclusively for home consoles. It maximizes the use of CD-ROM technology introduced in gaming consoles at that time, enhancing the story with visual scenes. The game has improved in all aspects, including attack methods and new enemies, and has received high praise since its release.

• X MULTIPLY
  "X MULTIPLY" is a horizontally scrolling shooter distinguished by its biological graphics and unique attack methods. By collecting items, two tentacles grow from the player's craft, which can be used for both attack and defense. However, the position and direction of these tentacles exhibit biological-like unpredictable changes, requiring practice to master. The stages are also richly varied, requiring players to skillfully utilize the tentacles for attacks according to the situation.

The "IREM Collection" not only fully restores each version of these games but also includes many enjoyable features such as online rankings, rewind functions, save-on-the-spot, and cheat modes. It will be a valuable title for IREM fans and a refreshing experience for new gamers alike.

An essential aspect of discussing IREM's classic works is the unique graphics and music that express their worlds at a high level. The limited edition includes a soundtrack featuring the game’s music and a luxurious art book showcasing graphics depicted in pixel art, reflecting the craftsmanship of the artists. Be sure to purchase the limited edition to immerse yourself in the games, graphics, and music of IREM's masterpieces.
