Ironclad is a horizontal-scrolling shooter game.
Release
Ironclad was originally developed for the Neo Geo MVS arcade system, and repeatedly advertised as such in Japanese gaming magazines. However, that release never happened, and the game was released exclusively on the Neo Geo CD console instead.[6] The game was only released in Japan, but if it is put on a North American system, it will be playable in English and display the "Ironclad" title screen.
It was re-released by D4 Enterprise for Wii via the Virtual Console in Japan on November 24, 2009,[7] and in 2010 in PAL regions on March 12,[8] and in North America on April 5.[9][10] A port for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux and asm.js developed by DotEmu was released by SNK Playmore as part of the Humble NEOGEO 25th Anniversary Bundle on December 15, 2015.[11] The game was later released on GOG.com on October 5, 2017.[12]
