"Yeah NOW the fucking help arrives... AFTER I killed the damn final enemy myself! 23:00 Huh? What do you mean bonus game? This nightmare all over again? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
*death of pilot Hideyoshi Tanake confirmed at 22 hours by unexplained sudden heart attack*
I watched the PC engine version of this, before i watched this version and on level 6 there is an end of level boss after u kill or dodge them enemy thing, so how come all the other versions didn't have it.
Compared to other conversion, absolutely not. Tiny sprites, less colours, fading out background on bosses due to lack of memory, bleepy music... well ok, it's amazing for what the Master System can do.
Naturally it was superficially inferior, but I really enjoyed myself playing the Master System version. That's all that matters really isn't it? I didn't feel at all cheated paying full price for it. That was pretty rare at the time !! :-) It amazes me how they managed to make Super R-Type on the SNES so crappy. Ho hum.
Conversions are judged taking into account the hardware limitations of the host machine. As you said, this version of r-type is quite good (I'd say not really amazing) considering the master system's hardware. For an amazing conversion, check out the C64 version of r-type.
This game is fucking nostalgic!

The SMS was superior to the NES, but the NES had the support. Remember when companies only made games for certain systems?
