Sure thing, let’s dive into the chaos!

So I was rummaging through my digital collection, and BAM! There’s this thing… Irem Collection Volume 3. Apparently, it’s out there floating in the digital cosmos, throwing a trio of those arcade shoot ’em ups at us. We’re talking about blasting pixels, folks.
Right, so here’s the quirky squad: First up, Mr. Heli. I mean, it’s this 1987 arcade thing with a chopper that waddles around like it’s got little legs. Cute ‘em up genre—yeah, that’s a thing. And then, Mystic Riders from ’92 jumps in with its broomsticks and boomerangs. Last but not least, a glorious return to beaky nostalgia – Dragon Breed! Fire-breathing fantasy, literally.
Man, you can almost see the quarters dissolving away, like back in the day. Games were ruthless cash gobblers—my wallet cried. Oh, the good ol’ days when you had to be a teenager with infinite change or master those unforgiving levels.
Jumping back to now, where everything’s about ease, these classics are born anew with customizable controls because, let’s face it, mashing buttons shouldn’t lead to thumb demise. You can remap stuff till you’re comfy. It’s almost too comfy, right?
I got sidetracked, where was I? Oh yeah, a quick mention about adjustable lives and autofire. I guess they’re trying to extend our short attention spans or something, making it more approachable, you know? Or maybe they just don’t want our thumbs turning into horror story material. Yep, makes sense.
And there’s this whole thing where they’ve spiced up the visuals. It’s like, do you want to see it in classic fuzz or get that snazzy fresh twist? Choices, choices. Personally, I dig the old-school vibes, but whatever floats your boat.
Here’s a neat feature – global leaderboards! Now we can see how miserably we fail against someone in another timezone who’s probably on a sugar rush. Competitive? Nah. Fun? You bet.
Anyway, these little forgotten gems back from when mullets were a thing and music videos still played on TV. Grab them on Xbox or whatever console you vibe with. And while you’re at it, hit up Volumes 1 and 2 too. Because why not be extra?
So there you have it, arcade nostalgia wrapped up with today’s tech. Like, imagine putting on your old shoes and feeling like they’re custom-made slippers. That’s what’s up with Irem Collection Volume 3. Dive in, or don’t. I’m not your mom.
