Mystic Riders - 1992 - Arcade - Shortplay | 4K CRT Monitor Simulation
0Shortplay + Attract mode of the game Mystic Riders, the scrolling shooter, cute em up arcade game by Irem. The game has been integer scaled to 4k, without bi-linear filtering, and retaining the original aspect ratio (display aspect ratio, not internal resolution). And captured using a filter that simulates the image of a CRT monitor. I also use a image of arcade machines as a bezel above the game, to create a nostalgic atmosphere.

GAME INFO:
Irem was typically known for dark shoot-em-ups, ranging from the biomechanical Giger-esque designs of R-Type and X-Multiply, the dark fantasy of Dragon Breed, or the military sci-fi setting of Air Duel. Mystic Riders is a departure from all of this, focusing on two broom riding magicians, set in a fantasy world. It was not developed by Irem’s regular shoot-em-up team, but rather by some of the folks who had previously worked on Daiku no Gen-san (AKA Hammerin’ Harry), which was also more comical in tone. The Japanese title, Mahou Keibitai Gun Houki, means “Magic Defense Force Gun Broom”.
Mystic Riders is often overlooked compared to other Irem shooters, probably because it was never ported, outside of emulations released on Windows in the Irem Arcade Hits bundle. Its outwardly childish aesthetics might suggest a lesser game than its brethren, but it’s as solidly designed as any of them. It’s also good anyone who likes the idea of Irem shooters, both artistically and mechanically, but isn’t a fan of the intense devotion they require.
