Description
IRONCLAD is a side-scrolling shoot ’em up released in 1996. You maneuver a warship and team with the mighty Iron Clad in order to fight the Iron Mask Republic and save the Kingdom of Chop.
Your weaponry includes three main blast weapons upgradable by collecting more items, a charged attack you can use when Iron Clad is attached to your ship, three types of melee weapons you can brandish to show off your strength in close-range combat, a bomber that clears all enemy bullets, and finally shooting patterns that change based on whether the Iron Clad is attached or disconnected from your ship.

You can even select the stages you want, feeding your hunger for combat and allowing you to see different endings for each play through!

Decent port with limited options.

Ironclad is a legendary game and while this port plays well it lacks controller support (despite the GOG listing saying it does) and only has two options for display: a fixed window size or stretched full screen.

Skip it (and other DotEmu Neo Geo games)

Only the menu works with controls. The game does run but with no controller support. Wait for the Evercade version instead if you want to play this game. Hopefully GOG can convince Code Mystics to give this game (and the other Dot Emu Neo Geo games) the proper treatment.

Game Syncs with Monitor Refresh Rate

Symptom: If you have a high refresh rate monitor the game will sync the fps with the refresh rate. AMD Radeon Chill won't work to force 60fps. Workaround: I downloaded RivaTuner Statistics Server and created a profile for the game. 60 for the frame limit, On-Screen display rendering mode = Vector 2d On-Screen Display coordinate space = framebuffer. Had to do this for all games from DotEmu Snk for them to run normal. If you have a 60hz monitor then the game will run normal out of the box. Only applies for high refresh rate monitors. Awesome game, hopefully this issue gets fixed in the future even though I highly doubt it.
