@ultran33b They've wouldn't even touch it, pixel graphics would kill them because current generation of gamers is just a bunch of whiny little spoiled graphic-whoreish brats, sad but true, for us retro gamers mostly Indie games are worth trying, sure from time to time we get games like Serious Sam 3 for example but it is rare to get a game that doesn't have stupid Regenerating health, no secrets in levels and levels being way too linear (scripted hallway with cutscenes basically).
@ChrisRJ I am playing R type Dimensions on classic mode on Xbox Live arcade, and I can definitely say that the Master System's music is FAR inferior in every respect.
look at 9 minutes 3 seconds of this video very carefully and tell me how you were able to kill the robot under you without shooting it?, It looks like the robot just died by touching under the space ship doesn't it? How can that be when you did not have that ball under you yet and still when the robot touched under your ship it died.
@pysinogsis99 You're right, this game has been altered somehow because you can't die when you touch the space ship.But that happen before too.If you notice the stage 3(6:43) you touch the big space ship and you didn't die.At least you can tell us that you're cheating.
@Gaiden14 When we use the cheat code to be invicible, the ship becomes a halo of blue light when an ennemy is touching it. So I think he doesnt cheat. (maybe)
One of the best ports of R-Type!! Master System rules. My favorite games I played and had were: Alex Kidd, Golvellius, Wonderboy 2 & 3, Zillion, R-Type, Psychic World. Out Run and Space Harrier are Sega classics, too!
The Sega Mark III version, which is the same as the SMS one, is better, because it has FM sound that allows its music to sound like Genesis/Mega Drive music.
I also remeber that my boy and I used to always wonder, how they could not make the whole ship out of the same material as the Pod? I mean shit you the Pod cannot be destroyed. Or fuck the ship, just send the Pod in.
perhaps they only had a limited amount of that material, and it still needed the larger propulsion & control systems of the ship. maybe the control of the pod could only be done at limited range hence needing the ship.
@Delta0311 The pods are made of Bydogen, a synthetic compound native to the Bydo region but found only in very limited quantities. The ships are made of scrap material from their previous successful conquers, and also raw material harvested from other planets.
I got this game when it came out on the SMS and I was never able to get past level 7. Great game though. R-Type, Phantasy Stat, SpellCaster, WonderBoy II n III, Golden Axe Warrior, Kenesiden, Zillion, and Govelius were my favorites.
For the R-Type games, as can be seen in this video, the key to success is strategically using your pod. Though that can be much easier said than done. :p
Thumbs up if you don't remember using any floating orange ball thingo
