Game Introduction

Scrolling shoot-em-up game. Use your force to help kill the aliens. Pick up power-ups that appear when you kill "Armos". Power-ups help you get stronger. They include air-to-ground, reflective, air-to-air, heat-seeking lasers, and speed-ups.

The longer you hold down the fire button, the stronger your shot will be. When at full strength your shot will kill every enemy that it touches. A normal shot will only kill one enemy.

I've played this a little bit in the past, mainly on the SMS recently but it's very close to the arcade version. I was never able to beat the third boss but managed it this morning, using the keyboard too.

I suck at most shooters :redface

RMacauley · October 6, 2012

My local deli had R-Type back in the late 80's. Haven't played it since Funspot 2011.

Time to test out the shoulder methinks.

Jed · October 6, 2012

Grumpy old man post: The only horizontal shooter I have ever liked is Scramble :)

Reckon I'll play this one on the Xbox360 / big TV. As I don't really care :lol

Game on!

Made a right mess of stage 5.

ED_209 · October 6, 2012

I love this game. Used to play it a lot on the SNES. Good first draw! :D

No you're not... *mumble* *grumble* frickin R-Type :(

Brad · October 6, 2012

I don't think there is any horizontal shooter I like except maybe Scramble.

I seem to remember being much better at this when I was a kid.

Need to try to get in some practice somehow.

Pelly · October 7, 2012

Nice one! ;) Hopefully will get a few games in today.

Still can't beat first boss :headbuttwall:

Got passed the stupid first boss once, but can't do it again :cry

troyus · October 7, 2012

I just played a few games today. That first boss is cake.

If no upgrades, then charge the laser and shoot when the tail comes down.

If you have upgrades then launch the round thing at the boss. It sits inside the tail barrier and just shoots the boss easy.

Had over 100k but hadn't set up screenshots or something cause the way I used to get them dosent work ><

Ill have to try again to get a score.

It's no biggie with me, but we generally leave any tips until after the first week of the game. Just so you are aware :) I should probably point that out at the start of the game instructions so the new guys know..... my bad on that one.

Panic struck at the 4th level boss :( Sorry about the screen shot, the little guy flew in front of my total score when I took the SC. :p

Bugger. Now I've got to play this again. Thanks Pelly. ;)

Edited because my phone won't let me use decent emoticons

Rat · October 7, 2012

I have played many similar titles and possibly a couple of sequels, but I was surprised to find that I didn't remember the enemies in this one, so I must not have played it much. I think it's OK, I'm a fan of shooters, this is not quite my favourite style but it's still good. I think the crazy side scroller Sexy Paradious is more fun :)

Foot · October 7, 2012

Galaga on a horizontal monitor is the shiz
