Three legendary fantasy shoot ’em ups from IREM’s arcade vault—Mr. Heli, Mystic Riders, and Dragon Breed—come together in one explosive collection!
ININ returns with Volume 3 of the IREM Collection, serving up a trio of horizontal shooters packed with magic, machines, and mayhem.

Mr. Heli (Battle Chopper)
Meet Mr. Heli, the quirky, legged chopper loaded with firepower! First launched in Japanese arcades in 1987, this multidirectional “cute ’em up” drops you into sprawling stages with puzzle-like layouts, hidden routes, and giant bosses. Mine crystals, earn cash, and upgrade your arsenal to stay airborne!

Mystic Riders
Broomsticks, boomerangs, and beastly sky turtles—Mystic Riders casts you into a whimsical 1992 fantasy shooter. Fend off flaming demons and mythical monsters, deflect projectiles with your broom, and dodge-roll through chaotic stages. Play solo or join forces in local co-op as Mark the wizard or Zeal the witch.

Dragon Breed
Soar into a biomechanical apocalypse in the 1989 arcade classic Dragon Breed! Ride the mighty dragon Bahamoot, whose massive body shields you from danger and annihilates everything in your path. It’s high-fantasy meets side-scrolling destruction—R-Type with scales and fury.
