Image Fight

[Edmond Dantes]

I was wondering:

I have one arcade-perfect port of Image Fight, and I'm actively seeking the Playstation compilation that comes with that and X-Multiply so I'll probably have two copies soon.

Knowing this, is there any reason whatsoever to grab the PCE version of Image Fight, or should I hold my money and just get the sequel?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure how it compares to the arcade one, but I know Image Fight on PCE is one of my favorite PCE shooties!

PCE Image Fight is a decent port, but it's a far cry from the arcade original.

Edmond, nice avatar!!!

The pce version does offer multiple levels of difficulty, so that can be fun to tinker with and compare to the arcade. Ive found the default difficulty to have characteristics of various pce difficulty settings simultaneously. If youre into pce i would definitely recommend it! You should be able to get a complete copy for less than 20 bucks.

Your avatar is nice too!  Hey, maybe we're related!

Well, I guess if I find it cheap I'll pick it up.  It would be nice to have both Image Fights right next to each other (I'm going to get IF2 for sure, maybe around Christmas since its so expensive).

HAHAHA, I swore the original poster was rag-time4 until I finished reading his post!

Image Fight one is a $20 or less game regularly so  cheap shouldn't be a problem.  Image Fight 2 however may take some patience to nab reasonably priced.

Yeah, lowest I've seen IF2 for is $74 shipped.

It's too bad X-Multiply never had a PCE port... I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

That's close to average (Ebay wise, etc.)...took me awhile but I paid like $35-40 complete/minty for mine.

X-Multiply would def have been cool on the PCE.

Which PCE Image Fight lets you play as different ships after clearing the game?

X-Multiply would def have been cool on the PCE.

Definitely.  I know this is outside the forum's purview but if anyone here has a copy of the Playstation disc that has X-Multiply and Image Fight 1, or you happen to see someone offering it for a really cool price, lemme know!

Thinking of changing my avatar so that people won't get me confused with rag-time4, but I can't find an equally cool image that is also in some way PCE-relevant.  Suggestions?

Well BT, in image fight 2, you can use the R9 from r-type after you clear the game, and in image fight 1 on PCE you can enter a code to play as Mr Heli without clearing the game! So both pce games give you options! (except there are no options in these games, that would be gradius!)

i dont think there is an equally cool image! You cant go wrong with a red pod though! Or maybe the OF-1 with red pods!! Other ideas might be action shots of Image Fight boss 3 (lazer hell) or Image Fight boss 4 (missile hell)

After giving it some consideration, I've decided on two choices for my avatar:

1)  either keep it as is, and just remind people "rag-time4's is holding a gun, mine isn't"

or

2)  replace it with the Avatar I use over at the shmups forum (which is of the X-Multiply ship with its tentacles flowing behind it)

What you think?

[Keranu]

X-Multiply avatar because that one sounds cool!

if these are the only two choices, i would honestly favor choice #1, as x-multiply has yet to be released on pce (but would make an awesome homebrew project, hint, hint!)

My only question for you regarding choice 1 is this: do you think it would be better for the forum if we hated each other and never agreed on anything, or would it be better if we got along great?

Also, what did you think about my idea of using the OF-1 from image fight with pods?
