Descpription:
Image Fight was released one year after Irem's
successful horizontal scroller, R-Type, and, although not directly related,
the two games have some similarities. The player flies a futuristic red ship.
When you have one or more red/blue extra guns, you may push both
buttons simultaneously to sling your guns forward in a boomerang-like way.
This is powerful and can be done an unlimited number of times.
The player can acquire various butterfly-shaped devices that attach to
the front of the ship. These are very similar in function to the Force in
R-Type - they turn the player's blaster into a powerful laser weapon.
They can also act as a weak shield, protecting the ship from
impact; this destroys them but leaves the ship intact.
