The Famicom version of SNK's Ikari Warriors. Two-player top-down run'n'gun. Not as good as the same developer's Guerrilla War but the concept is still fun. Arcade nostalgia.

Collector interest

Ikari Warriors was one of the defining NES co-op run-and-guns of 1987, popularised by its legendary cheat code. Widely distributed in the United States, it is very common loose and its appeal rests on arcade nostalgia rather than scarcity. Sealed copies remain notably harder to track down, which is where collecting value concentrates.
