Irem Games

Irem's foundational horizontal shmup on TurboGrafx-16 — R-Type is one of the most accurate home conversions of the 1987 arcade original, featuring the Force pod attachment system, screen-filling bosses, and the methodical memorization-based gameplay that defined its genre. The TG16 version's near-arcade quality made it the definitive home version of its era.

Irem's TurboGrafx-16 port of their 1988 arcade game — Ninja Spirit is a scrolling action game where a ghost ninja battles enemies with five weapon types and a shadow clone system that multiplies combat effectiveness. One of the TurboGrafx-16's most celebrated games and an example of the platform's exceptional arcade port capabilities.
