Image Fight / X-Multiply Pack
I've heard of this game, but have never been able to find it on ebay.
Is it really uncommon? was it ever released?

You guys are high. It's the hardest of the Arcade Gears games to find and will run a lot, considering it's an older game.
Saturn listings
Playstation listings
Playstation version seems the way to go, but you should dig up Recap's old post of "arcade perfect ports" he did on some other board. I believe all the rcade Gears games were there. He trashed one of them (I think Wonder 3).
You're still also going to need someone to surrogate bid for you unless it pops up on Ebay.

Wonder 3 / Arcade Gears. We all know the port was not from Capcom. Believe it or not, Xing did a poor work here. Animation frames are missed in Chariot and Midnight Wanderers, and the difficulty level and attack patterns of some enemies were changed. Control is unresponsive in Don't Pull compared to the arcade version. A curious difference is the copyright screen: This time you can find a Tezuka Productions copyright absent in the arcade version. It seems that using the name of Tezuka's old comic could cause some legal problems.

I have the double pack "Image Fight/ X-Multiply" for the Sega Saturn, and guess what...it ain't all that!
Image Fight can also be found on the PC-Engine, and X-Multiply? Well, it looks and sounds like it could be on the Genesis/Megadrive. Now, thats not a bad thing, just don't expect too much here. Think R-Type meets Wings of Wor, but not as good as either one.
The "pack" shouldn't be too expensive as far as I know.
BTW: Mine is not for sale, as it would be "illegal" (see other thread ) and the "collector" in me prohibits me from selling some old school shooter shit.

I own the PSX version, and don't remember it costing me too much, but things may have changed since then. The quality of the ports seems quite good, but I've never been able to compare them to their arcade counterparts.
I quite like this comp. It's cool to have two non-R-Type shmups by Irem together. I find myself playing X-Multiply a lot more than Image Fight though, partially because of it's great atmosphere, and partially because Image Fight owns me every time I play it...

Well, yeah, 6 years ago, the pack was going on sale for $40 new (as opposed to ~$45-60 complete now). Then again, many expensive games nowadays were cheaper then.MadSteelDarkness wrote:I own the PSX version, and don't remember it costing me too much, but things may have changed since then.
Image Fight may be an old game but it's an excellent showcase of memory gameplay at its best.
Hey, locky!Pda wrote:hi Recap,whats up?(soy lockyfr del Forum Postback).
Can you provide me please the link where you were speaking about Arcade perfect Ports?Speaking about Tenchi Wo kurau II inside?Is it better on PS or SS?
It was not an easy task, since JJ's board migrated and I've had to find it (it still doesn't have a working internal search tool, either, go figure):

The thread is old, some things need to be updated (as my poor English by then), but the entry for Ten-Ku II is correct: visually the same as its arcade counterpart, music is kind of remixed, sound FX are less crisp and no 3-players option. Never saw the PS version but it will be probably the same with longer loading times. The SS version came a bit later and that always implied a better work in Capcom games.

Thanks a lot mate.
I guess you are right,though Tenchi II on PS is 2500-3000 yens more pricey than its Saturn counterpart,i mean in Japanese used stores(im in Japan right now).
Might give it try someday if i find cash.I have mind the SS version but never played the PS one on my own too.
By the way,are you still looking for a complete copy of Magical Pop'n(old story).Got one for you,if interested

Old PS games are usually pretty more expensive than the SS ones, with no apparent reason. Probably demand-related.Pda wrote:Thanks a lot mate.

I'm not looking for any SFC game currently (or for any second hand video-game, actually), but thanks. The truth is that I sold my console before moving to my new apartment. Did you like the game, btw?
Hey, thanks. I'll update it now I know where it is one of these days.And impeccable work, Recap!
Really? I picked it up on ebay last year for $25 & Gun Frontier for $35. I didn't think it was that rare at all.GaijinPunch wrote:You guys are high. It's the hardest of the Arcade Gears games to find and will run a lot, considering it's an older game.

Ikaruga review now up in PLASMA BLOSSOM
It's defintely demand. There were approx 12 million Saturns units produced (and less than 2 million sold in the US). There are now over 100 million Playstation (1+2) consoles produced with millions more being produced every year (last I checked you could still get new PS1's for under $50 and used for $20 at many places). There are far more people in the market for used PS games than Saturn games.Recap wrote:Old PS games are usually pretty more expensive than the SS ones, with no apparent reason.
