I have the TurboGrafx-16 for the iPhone and R-Type and there is no flickering. They must have done something to the emulator to fix some of the old problems.

@mp4podcastDOTcom That's cool! Thanks for sharing that for everyone.

I'd say the hardest arcade shooter out there is TRUXTON

@ViperVenom128 Oh man........that is a tough one! Yes, totally.

Thanks for watching! :)

The 20 continues trick is this:

While at the Title Screen hold select, and Turbo press the II button on your turbo pad (or X on the Classic Controller) and you will earn more credits. Get 20 credits and immediately press Run (or + if playing the VC release) or you'll be forced to watch the demo, and do it all over again. Thumb this up so I can give those who play this the upper-hand.

@IvoryGecko1993 Shhh! Don't give secrets away! Ha ha. :)

Thanks for watching!!

For the 20 continues to work for me I had to hold the select button on the title screen and then set button I to turbo and press it, not button II like somebody else posted. Not sure if it's an error or just different for different TG-16s.

@IvoryGecko1993 You're right . At the time Nintendo was already getting money hand over fist so what was one less space shooter game for the NES. We still had Gradius and other games like this to satisfy us.

[IvoryGecko1993]

@chaseman94 Well, Nintendo already did their job with publishing the arcade port.

Too bad they never made a NES version.

This game was a great game. I always died in this game. I always played R-Type II, III, and Delta.

I was on the verge of breaking my controller.

R-Type, the game made by the gods is what should be on the cover or on the arcade machine. R-Type was a turning point for me in the arcades... It pulled me out of the old Tempest machine in the corner :P I bought the SMS version but when it finally came out for the turbo I just had to have it... Taking it home was a torture... No TurboExpress yet... For me it was easy because of all my previous experience in the arcade & the SMS. Easy, but too easy... most of my arcade patterns/timings worked :(
