R-Type II 1989 Stage 4

This is played on R-Types for the Playstation. I was playing on Easy (a.k.a. not quite as hard). Can you imagine this stage on anything higher!? I must've played around 10 times before I killed the boss on a no miss run. This was the first time I killed the boss, during this recording.

Areas of note:
-this is where the terrain starts getting tricky. The Bydo must enjoy Tetris.
-thankfully the R9's hitbox is smaller than it looks. Those bullets at 0:32 grazed the back of the ship.
-again, at 1:25, the R9's small hitbox graced me, as I almost killed myself backing up.
-the boss would qualify as "Easiest R-Type Boss" if it wasn't for the terrain. This is R-Type's version of a high speed stage.
-look at how many Speed icons I accidentally pick up near the end! It's a miracle that I didn't crash into something!
-as always, after I won, I was shaking so bad that I had to turn off the game until the adrenaline rush passed. =D

I never got past this stage. It's as cool as hard, especially towards the end, you must have incredible reflexes. I never got to see level 5, until I saw your videos.

Incidentally I could never beat stage 5 until R-Type Dimensions came out and they toned down the difficulty. Now it's a lot easier.

ya, right now im trying to beat R-Type 3 and man is that ever HARD! you should give it a try if you dident do videos on it yet!

[matrixandraia]

Well, I'll consider it. I'd have to buy a copy first. When I try to record from my computer I can't make it work right (FRAPs I can't get to work and I can't get sound on Hypercam even though I have the full version, and it makes my computer get choppy anyway). I still have a SNES, so I might one day.

This was the boss that forced me to stop playing the game for a while. Also an enemy almost fell on top of you right before it.

nobody should feel bad if they think this game is hard..... i had r- type 3 for the gba and man did it put me in quite a pickle

[adamwba1979]

damn, that boss looks well hard to defeat. Not only do you have to concentrate on its firing weopons, you have to pay attention to the moving obstacles too. O_o Me myself, I couldn't get past stage 3

[Junglism78]

You did well to survive that tunnel right to the end without crashing, if you send your force out against the boss he goes down much faster, in only a few seconds in fact!

good shit!! some parts made me think you would die, but then you zipped past a block or a bullet....i remember this level on super r type on snes, but never played the arcade r-type II.....nice

[yakisobakid]

I don't even blink when i'm facing this boss.

Nice gameplay!!

Don't you have a Wii? You can get it on the VC. That game is fucking brutal towards the end in the final stage. RTIII is another game that be hard to track down, I don't know how much it is on Ebay, but just be careful on the price. I got Super R-Type on the SNES, and it kicks ass.
