Classic Game Room HD - R-TYPE for Sega Master System review

Classic Game Room HD reviews R-TYPE for the Sega Master System from 1988! This legendary horizontal SHMUP space ship shooter is one of the most iconic video games ever created. This review of R-Type shows gameplay footage from Rtype showing the reviewed game in all of its HD glory (upconverted from the Sega Master System) As SHMUPS go this is one of the big ones and has seen numerous sequels and remakes on various consoles ranging from the Super Nintendo to PS2 and Xbox Live Arcade XBLA. Blow away the Bydo bitches with an arsenal of laser beams and missiles and power ups and the force cannon thingy that you can shoot out and reel back in. R-Type gameplay is unique and different from many side scroller shmup shootersl like Gradius and Thunder Force 6. So here it is from Classic Game Room, a review of the legendary R-Type for Sega Master System. Originally released in the arcades in 1987 from Irem, R-Type is the bomb and an a true old school shmup arcade coin-op classic worthy of being reviewed and respected by Classic Game Room. Interestingly R-Type is not available on the NES.

@TreyTable R-type is fun no matter what.

Wasn't there a cheat for extra continues on this version? On the continue screen countdown, Keep rotating Rotate the D-pad clockwise (or it might be anti-clockwise).

The sound of the ship crashing will forever haunt me :)

I could never beat this game and told my friend around a decade years back that it was the hardest game i'd played. took it to his house and completed it without dying once in front of him. It was abit bizzare. I've got the old SMS out again and am stuck on the third level. I have no idea how i walsed through it so easily when my mate was watching.

why play the shitty version? play the Turbo Grafx-16 version

The R-Type series. My favorite space shooter series. No matter the system, once you play one of these babies you know you're getting an amazing game... well at least most of the time.
