R-Type

IceDigger - Feb 3, 2003

			This was one of the first shooters I ever played and one of my favorites for the SMS. If you never have played this I suggest you pick up a copy on ebay quick!

			I don't think I've played this game, but I've played Blazing Lazers for the TG16, do you pity me?

			ice, you're slipping i usually agree with the validity of your choices for gotw but r-type is unplayable

			It's very difficult, but good. I can usually get to level three without losing a life, but I think I've only got to level four once.

			Excellent game with some great tunes. I liekd the Arcade version better than the sms. Though the sms was good to play on the master gear converter on the game gear in the back of shop class back in the day

			this game was awsome -- i thought it was just like the arcade -- back in the day but then noticed the sprite and music diference and became disapointed but i still thought it kicked ass -- i kept traveling (30 min one way ) to rent this game over and over -- there was only one video store i found in CT that rented mastersystem games but now i finaly own it - but its a little hard to see on the game gear i thought this port was great untill i saw the TG16 version - and became disapointed again

			Awesome game, a great port considering it was on an 8bit system, and as googlefest mentioned the tg version was better, but again a 16 bit system. I played this game too back in the day, but never owned my very own copy, until recently I got one on ebay, woo - hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT GAME!!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------sega!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont listen to sizone!!!! THIS GAME IS GREAT! those who may know me from back b4 know i love shmups and this is one of my favs! too bad now that ive played the arcade version, i can see how much was sacrificed in the port, including difficulty. As for the true shooter fans like myself, rumors have it there is a entrance to a hidden lvl in stage 4. i have yet to find it. read the review at http://www.shmups.com/... to see what i mean.

unplayable, pfft.

TG16 was in fact not a 16 bit system. this is always argued throughout the net. the tg16 was just a suped up 8 bitter with better graphics and sound. it still ran off an 8 bit processor. 16 bit graphics.

			R-Type was my first shoot-them up on SMS and it was soo good. It is one of the best shmup ever made. There is no better shmup on SMS in any domains (playability, graphics,...), maybe Xenon 2 had better graphics but it was hardly playable. I still play at RType some days and tried above all versions : TG16, Super CD-ROM, PC, ... This game has introduced I think many features of shmups like the additionnal module or multidirectionnal fire, it will stay forever in my best shooters list.
