Holy crap! This game is really difficult! At least for me, I'm sure somebody will bust it.

Score: 27,200

Initials: (n/a)

If you wait long enough on the demo screens, it will show a high score table with names. My score wasn't high enough even for last place. So I'm sure one of you guys will definitely bust this score and actually have an opportunity to post initials. This is just my first try at this game, and it's insane!

The console version for a lot of these games is much easier. You get more lives, they're not as difficult, etc. I was playing shinobi on the nes a few days ago, and they actually give you a HEALTH BAR that goes down as you get hit, rather than insta-death. RType is one of those games better suited for the console I think.

i'm gonna have to disagree with you there squire. R-Type is one of them very few games that rewards knowledge - i like that! To become good you need knowledge! R-Type is brutal, but it is is also very rewarding if you can reape ;) It's also much better in arcade and i've played em all.

I know right? I think the difficulty is that it's side scrolling, and you have to watch out for walls. Vertical shooters don't really have walls, and they seem easier to me, I dunno. Good score though! :)

I tryed cyvern too.. where the screen's full of shots, either yours o your enemie's... and it's a mess, and I feel lost and then I die...

I've played Super R-Type enough to possibly know a thing or two about this -- that yellow weapon is nice for Stage 2, but the Stage 4 boss I'll have to learn a little bit more.

ExedExes - 190,700

I didn't even know about Super R-Type :blink::ph34r: . Nice score ExedExes !!

OMG, I have spent hours and hours on R Type back in the day!! What a sweet side scroller.

But let`s not talk up it`s difficulty too much here. There aren`t that many bullets coming at you AND you have pod that attaches to the front or back of your ship that deflects some of the projectiles for you.

To keep decent control of your ship, I only pick up one speed item. I find the ship maneuvers too quickly when you pick up two or more.
