As a long time gamer, way back in the early 90`s, I always looked for games by Irem.They have always had the games I liked and it seemed like they gave Capcom some serious competition. I had no idea they made so many games and no to mention coin ops too. Great video.Keep them coming.You just earned a new subscriber.
Gun force 2 es como un Metal Slug, pero hecho por Irem. Una compañía de videojuegos realmente mítica. En su haber están algunos juegos legendarios como Kung-Fu Master, Vigilante, o R-Type, entre otros. ¡Excelente recopilación... Saludos!
Fenomenal!! He jugado un buen de esos maravillosos juegos, de hecho, los sigo jugando ahora, tengo varios de ellos, no es nostalgia, es actualidad... Está en nosotros decidir eso.
I think Irem and it's immediately R-TYPE in my mind. I love the "gritty" visuals in Undercover Cops, In The Hunt, Cosmic Cop and Gunforce. Ninja Spirit into a modern action-rpg would be incredible!
From the beginning it looks like IREM was just imitating Taito and Namco but didn't really start finding their identity until around the mid 80s. Irem was known for; Lode Runner, Kung Fu Master, the first of the beat em' up games, R-Type, Bomberman, Ninja Spirit, Image Fight, X-Multiply, Gunforce Battle and In The Hunt, which were precursors to Metal Slug.
Love irem games especially the r type series and x multiply. Would love to see r type Leo on arcade archives one day as that’s one I’ve never played but it looks awesome.
Irem is very influential in the Japanese game development industry. Without them, we wouldn't have Aicom and Yumekobo, which meant no Pulstar, Blazing Star, and Prehistoric Isle 2. There'd be no Nazca and no Metal Slug. These guys sure gets around They don't seem to understand the meaning of "easy", that's just not their development style. If an Irem game is easy, it means they've screwed up. A true Irem game has to make you want to rip your hair out in frustration
nice, no nasty blocky digital pixels in this presentation but pixels with scanlines, bloom n shadow mask etc so it looks nice as it was on a CRT, when will youngsters who werent there learn that their hipster pixel art games arent retro really and just look shite
I've already made a collection of arcade games on retropie 3 along with other consoles. No need to wait. Plus it in your TV, tinker with scanlines and aspect ratio, plug in a controller of your choice and you are good to go. It will take some effort to set up but the device only costs 100 soemthing with 128 gb sd card. Can't go wrong. All in one place. I'm just using this video to learn up other IREM games that I can add to the arcade collection on Retropie. haha
AJ Singh hey asshole, fuck your emulations. We want legit re-releases. I hate comments like yours. Developers see that shit and then figure what’s the point of doing a solid port if these jerks just download everything anyway. Keep that shit to yourself.
how many videogame brands your youtube page remembers me - Jaleco Corp, LJN rainbow symbol, corp Acclaim, Brøderbund (Prince of Persia) becomes Irem Corp
And the best side scroller shootemup ever. Graphics, sound and gameplay matching perfectly. I still occasionally sing the r-type tunes (along with puffin's of course).
I just got this IREM Uni wars videogame on a cocktail arcade machine, do you guys know if all the motherboard none jamma are comparable for the pre 1985 era ? Great video !
15:27 People sleeping on Ninja Spirit. If you haven't played this game you really need to. This player is doing a terrible job showing it off. Has four unique weapons with 8-Way directional weapons you can switch to at all times. You can throw or set the dynamite, throw ninja stars (with clones for full screen spammage) spin the grappling hook around the entire screen, or swing upward and stab through the floorboards with the sword. All in realtime.
Irem had some of the most beautiful pixel artworks on videogame history
These guys are legends. Everything they did was a work of art and a pure labor of love.
These videos are so freaking cool. no lame voiceovers, no BS... just original gameplay with audio. Bravo.

Please keep uploading this kind of post. As a huge fan of old game, I really enjoy watching your post. Thank you!
que juegazos hizo IREM . soy un fan de esa compania .
As a long time gamer, way back in the early 90`s, I always looked for games by Irem.They have always had the games I liked and it seemed like they gave Capcom some serious competition.

Kung Fu Master really needs to come to Arcade Archives on the Switch..
Always best in chronological order. Irem was huge in orchestrating the selection during the early NES years

Los que hicieron Gun Force después se fueron de Irem y fundaron Nazca los que hicieron el primer Metal Slug
@@GbrielValdez ¡Gracias por el dato! Con razón se nota que tenía una apariencia y estilo gráfico muy similar... ¡Saludos!
IREM is one of the most influential game devs of all time
Played a lot of these games in the arcade. Love the retro look with the scanlines. Great stuff
Fenomenal!! He jugado un buen de esos maravillosos juegos, de hecho, los sigo jugando ahora, tengo varios de ellos, no es nostalgia, es actualidad... Está en nosotros decidir eso.
Irem had some great games in the 80's & 90's they were awesome
I think Irem and it's immediately R-TYPE in my mind.
I love the "gritty" visuals in Undercover Cops, In The Hunt, Cosmic Cop and Gunforce.
Ninja Spirit into a modern action-rpg would be incredible!
Red Alert gave me anxiety every time I played it. The little nukes falling and total destruction at that age.
In the hunt was one of my favourites back in the day. I never got to see ninja baseball or gunforce2.. wish i did
Como compañía tal vez de las menos conocidas, pero con grandes clásicos en su catálogo.
Y todos muy buenos.
Phenomenal art style and animations on some of these games!
Your videos are fantastic. Well produced and to the point.
Keep em coming.
IREM games all had excellent pixel artwork. Even all those early 80s shooters looked better than their competitors' games.
Kung Fu Master. My favorite game of all the times.
Moon patrol was the first game ever to a have parallax scrolling background.
Irem were always a master class of pixel/sprite work, but they really started to pull away, and become the best of the best in 1990.
Buenos juegos gracias por el aporte saludos desde Argentina
IREM games are always one step ahead from the competition. Always going that extra mile
It's crazy how the guys at Irem would branch off and create Metal Slug 1 to 3 then just disappear with scarce information on them.
They released many killer shoot 'em ups
Adiós vieja Irem Corp (1974-1994)
Kung Fu / Vigilante & Ninja Spirit are my favorite Irem game's
Simple Logic Itspopnotsodabitch *games - no apostrophe

irem is a great great company!! these games are awesome...i want all of them...original cabs amd all.....or at least a few...
ok one ..i would take spartan x and be happier than a pig in shit...
Best spritework in the industry, bar none.
Kung Fu master and Dragon Breed i love it
Nice one,Subscribed. Please keep it comin...
Ke tiempos akellos... otro mundo era en verdad.
the originators of the METAL SLUG look
Dragon breed needs a rerelease. Looks insane
Love irem games especially the r type series and x multiply. Would love to see r type Leo on arcade archives one day as that’s one I’ve never played but it looks awesome.
Buenos juegos de irem de la epoca
los juegos Shoot 'em up de esta compania si que eran DIFICILES
Irem siempre presumió de tener los juegos más difíciles, un traga cinco duros que no veas xD
Gunforce el primer metal slug gracias por recordarmelo

These old arcade games got more appeal to me than my Series X game's!!!
I had absolutely NO idea that Hammerin' Harry was a IREM game
Some truly games there...
Mythic kungfu warrior... Classic moon patrol... I played hammering harry a lot, too... Bomber man....
And the rtype too, obviously
Yeah! Ninja Spirit!
En mi país, eran raras las arcades, la envia que le tengo por haber jugado muchos buenos juegos.
nice, no nasty blocky digital pixels in this presentation but pixels with scanlines, bloom n shadow mask etc so it looks nice as it was on a CRT, when will youngsters who werent there learn that their hipster pixel art games arent retro really and just look shite
Kung-fu Master needs to be released on console. And the Gunforce games.
Those dream soccer.94 tackles 😭😭
a company with excellent dot graphics
R-type Delta is my favourite game....... It took ideas from X Multiply and perfected them
I hope there will be some kind of Irem Collection for either the PS4 or the Switch
There are Irem games on ps4. Can't believe they haven't put the Gunforce games and Kung-Fu Master on there yet though.
I think irem arcade collection is gonna be out on PS5

Me too man 😀
I've been using your videos to fill up my rom list for my atgames legends I have coming in. Thanks so much!!
These games were so underrated, I love them so much.
La música del inicio precisamente es de un arcade de toaplan. Out Zone
how many videogame brands your youtube page remembers me - Jaleco Corp, LJN rainbow symbol, corp Acclaim, Brøderbund (Prince of Persia) becomes Irem Corp
Wow nunca pensé que hayan sacado un juego de fútbol
Nice compilation :)
Awesome video, I love it!
I like Irem Games miss it.
The most iconic game of the company: R-TYPE.
And the best side scroller shootemup ever. Graphics, sound and gameplay matching perfectly. I still occasionally sing the r-type tunes (along with puffin's of course).
Начиная с момента, когда в видео показывают вторую половину 1980ых - столько знакомого и приятного!
да вот это время было.....пиво натуральное,пизды небритые.кайф
Сильно удивлен, что такая сравнительно малоизвестная контора делала столько знаменитых хитов.
Это да - из тех времён обычно вспоминается Капком, Конами, Сега и масса других, а не Айрэм, но тут уж как говорится - птичка по зёрнышку клюёт!
The games from before the late 80s, or at least a good chunk of them were notorious for the ‘5’ character being condensed.
Would love to see a irem anniversary physical disc with the majority of these games on the ps4..
Yo nunca jugue títulos de IREM (sólo jugué CPS1 CPS2 CPS3 NEOGEO y MIDWAY) pero varios de esos juegos se ven geniales, y los jugare en algun emulador.
El Lode Runner tiene mas versiones que el Street Fighter 2 XD
And a lot of great clones of games I never knew existed
Battle Chopper must have been the inspiration for Psygnosis Blood Money
That and a bit of R type
0:00 I bet R-type is on the list
12:32 KNEW IT!
Does anyone remember a arcade game Ninja Spirit it was also on the Amstrad,commodore 64 and amiga a side scrolling action game.
One of the few games I was able to complete on the Amstrad.
Muy currado.
Wow, nice job thanks!!
Ninja Spirit best game ever!!!
Ver IREM era dejarle tropecientas monedas a esa máquina.
34:49 dream soccer 94 was basically the 90s arcade version of Red Card by midway
i see a soccer player using the liu kang flying kick
MOON PATROL :) Sorry, I'm a year late.
En el año 1996 la empresa se declara en quiebra fue famosa por su saga R,type y otros
I just got this IREM Uni wars videogame on a cocktail arcade machine, do you guys know if all the motherboard none jamma are comparable for the pre 1985 era ?
Great video !
Major Title@19:55...I see where SNK got their idea for Neo Turf Masters
17:16 I've never played this game but i kinda want to because it looks like a R-Type/Gradius hybrid.
SNES mini here i come!
What shader are you using, looks really good 👍🏻
Video Mode: BGFX; crt-geom deluxe (delta 2_4x2) and also sometimes HLSL GLSL
CRT-Geom is literally the only shader anyone should ever need.
Hola, ¿qué shader utilizas? Se ve muy bien.
how to get these games working cant seem to play any of them great video by the way
Porque no haces uno de Way Forward Technologies desde sus primeros juegos
beautiful =]
Cómo se llama el parámetro de MAME para que los pixels dejen rastro de luz?
Creo que son 2: halation amplitude y halation blur width
@@TROldSchoolGamer Ok, muchas gracias!. Y hay alguno más que creas que valga la pena?
Ninja baseball batman, the most bizarre game ever
Some of these games can be remade with the current technology today.
Wtf was that arcade version of hook? Lol look at peter kickin’ everyone’s ass hardcore
Didn't they have copyrights back then lol good video 👍
Undercover Cops Estara inspirado en street of rage
Undercover cops tiene estética cyberpunk nada que ver con street of rage
can you tell me what is your mame config...shaders..etc? thank you
LREM ! (La République en Marche)
Choco-REM ! (cakes)
