Lost In Translation/Image Fight

About The Game
Image Fight is a vertically scrolling arcade video game shoot-em-up with an original premise. The game's first 5 stages are supposed to be a 'simulation' and serve as training to test the player's abilities. Player's will receive a penalty if their hit-ratio is too low.

Once players have proved themselves on the opening stages, they will progress to the game's last 3 stages, blasting off into space on a mission to destroy the alien vegetation surrounding the Moon's main computer. If the player fails in the mission, they must endure the dreaded 'Penalty Zone'. Features a high level of challenge, a wide variety of weapons and the ability to change speed.

If the player's ship is equipped with one or more red/blue extra guns, pushing both ACTION buttons simultaneously will sling the guns forward in a boomerang-like fashion. This is a powerful and destructive method and can be done an unlimited number of times.

Trivia
Released in November 1988.

The OF-1 (the player's ship) appears as an unlockable ship in the Sony PlayStation 2 game "R-Type Final".
