Mr. Heli
Get acquainted with Mr. Heli, an offbeat, legged helicopter brimming with power! First appearing in Japanese arcades back in 1987, this unique “cute ’em up” shooter allows you to navigate through creative stages packed with puzzle-like layouts, secret passages, and towering bosses. Gather crystals, accumulate cash, and enhance your weaponry to keep those rotors turning smoothly! This timeless arcade game stirred quite a buzz upon release, leaving players in awe at how adorable it looked while packing such a punch!
Mystic Riders
In the thrilling 1992 game titled Mystic Riders, you’ll encounter a captivating blend of magic and chaos. Here, you’ll soar on broomsticks, engaging in combat against colossal sky turtles, fiery demons, and other mystical beings. Utilize your broom as a boomerang to deflect incoming attacks, swiftly dodge hazards, and charge through vivid realms. Don’t embark on this adventure alone—join forces with either Mark the wizard or Zeal the witch in local co-op mode for an unforgettable journey through arcade lore. With its unique gameplay mechanics, Mystic Riders offers a compelling and enjoyable gaming experience, while simultaneously testing your skills in ways no other shooter has before!
Dragon Breed
Ultimately, from cleaning tools to mythical beasts—the 1989 arcade classic Dragon Breed plunges you into a chilling biomechanical ordeal! Mount your formidable dragon Bahamoot, who can safeguard you from peril and incinerate everything in your wake. Imagine a blend of R-Type with a fantasy apocalypse—with feathers. This marvelous arcade game was often overlooked by players when it first came out, but now you have the opportunity to understand why so many arcade enthusiasts believe this is one of Irem’s best hidden gems.
