R-Type II 1989 Stage 1

This is played on R-Types for the Playstation. I was playing on Easy and that was pretty challenging. I could not tell the difference between Easy and Normal, as I've been playing on Normal up till now.

Areas of note:
-the enemies don't mess around do they? More unblockable shots, more bullets, and trickier terrain.
-the music is much more awesome than its predecessor (in my opinion).
-the graphics are much improved too. The colors seem richer, and there's more stuff in the background.

Yes, this is the arcade version of R-Type II for R-Types on the Playstation.

You know what, everybody wants a flaying car or a jet pack, or their own private plane. I would want an R9 as my craft. An interdimensional craft with a nuclear fusion reactor so it keeps going for a long time. No refueling. Plus with a FORCE, its practically invulnerable, made of pure energy, and it looks totally awesome.

"Practically invulnerable"

Hope it comes with camera so you can see behind you, or one little pellet will brush your ship and:

*boom*

@scorpionexo400 R-Type 2 was never released on the SNES. Super R-Type is sort of based on R-Type 2 with some of the same stages (but overall crappier).

@matrixandraia I always thought Sega should have ported this to the Genesis. The music could have worked perfect, there would be no slowdown as the Genesis has a faster CPU than the SNES. Sega did a fine job with R-Type on the Master System, I think R-Type II would be a direct port, and be perfect. Wouldn't you agree?

The Super Nintendo version is a different game.
