R-Type, for me, defines IREM at the time period of the PCE. It was, and still is, awesome. If R-Type was banned from the vote for being too awesome then it would have to be Image Fight.

I voted to Tonma, which I think is under-talked about and underrated.

If it was all Irem games, then Spelunker would take the cake.

Ninja Spirit. I didn't even have to think about it.  It's such a great game. I never tire of playing though it.

Many of the others deserve honorable mentions, though:
R-Type was the reason I bought a TG16 bitd.
And I love Mr. Heli. It's a shame that one never made it to the States.
Image Fight is really good too.

I like most of them very much, but I can't help but give my vote to Gekisha Boy!

I'd day Sol Moonarge, for the hours spent trying to go a little further, the frustration of never having been able to clear it, and because it's a old dream to have it translated.

What? no "other" option?

My favorite Irem game is Kickle Cubicle. Really messes up your brain. One of those "frustratingly addictive" games. And the ending feels rewarding.
Gaming since 1985

We're in the PCE sub-forum, so it's presumably PCE games only.

What about Eiyuu Sankokushi ;-) I suppose this may not count as it is a Simulation that requires an understanding of the Japanese language.

Back in the day vote: R-Type then Gekisha boy as it was a genre that I had not seen before.

Todays vote: Ninja spirit & Image fight

I need to take a look at Sol moonrage, as this is a game I have never owned!

Ninja Spirit is the one I have the most fun playing, and that's what counts for the most in my opinion. I also like the soundtrack the best.

How's Image Fight II? Still playable today? (Are the production values close to the Soldier games, for instance?)
