An Irem compilation bundling ImageFight and XMultiply, two demanding vertical shooters. Clean port, arcade vibe respected. For hardcore Irem shmup fans, the high collector price now limits its appeal.

Collector interest

Irem compilation by Xing pairing Image Fight and X Multiply, two demanding vertical shooters never released on console outside Japan. The limited NTSC-J run and total lack of a Western edition make it a target for Irem shmup fans, who value the faithful conversion. Demand stays niche but steady, and thin supply keeps the price durably elevated rather than inflated by sealed stock alone.
