Three fantasy horizontal shoot ‘em ups from IREM’s arcade vault – Mr. Heli, Mystic Riders, and Dragon Breed, all in one explosive collection!
ININ is back with Volume 3 of the IREM Collection, delivering a trio of fantastical shoot 'em ups! This time, it´s magic, machines, and mayhem.
Mr. Heli (Battle Chopper)
Meet Mr. Heli, the quirky, legged chopper with a whole lot of firepower! Debuting in Japanese arcades in 1987, this multidirectional “cute ‘em up” shooter lets you pilot through inventive stages filled with puzzle-like maps, hidden paths, and massive bosses. Mine crystals, earn cash, and upgrade your arsenal to keep those rotor blades spinning!
Mystic Riders
Magic meets mayhem in Mystic Riders, the 1992 fantasy shooter where you ride broomsticks and battle giant sky turtles, flaming demons, and other mythical creatures. Use your broom as a boomerang to block projectiles, dodge-roll past dangerous hazards, and blast through vibrant worlds. Don't go it alone – team up in local co-op as Mark the wizard or Zeal the witch for an enchanted ride through arcade history.
Dragon Breed
Finally, from brooms to dragons – the 1989 arcade gem Dragon Breed throws you into a biomechanical nightmare! Ride into battle on the mighty dragon Bahamoot who can shield you from danger and scorch everything in your path. Think R-Type meets fantasy apocalypse – with wings.
