Player's Review

"It's R-TYPE arcade action for your Sega System! The galaxy is in deep peril: foul creatures from the evil Bydo Empire have warped across space to invade and conquer our planet! There is only one hope for victory. The Earth Defense League has chosen you to pilot R-9, a nuclear-powered space fighter that can cut through invading aliens faster than a light saber through butter.

Fly R-9 through eight exciting levels of high-powered action. Use your plasma gun to rip through armies of nasty creatures and their deadly machines. And when the going gets really tough, pick up Droid Units to make your ship even harder hitting. You'll be up against creatures so mean and ugly they'll make your hair stand on end. But Earth is depending on you. So strap yourself in the cockpit, put your fingers on the triggers, and blast 'em out of the skies!"

R-Type received an arcade conversion to pretty much every game console and home computer platform of the day. Its fair to say that there are no bad versions of the game an each takes advantage of their respective platform. The Master System is no exception where every care has been taken to reproduce the game on the hardware with great gfx and sfx with different music for each level as well as FM enhanced versions for those with the hardware.

The longplay shows a complete run through all 16 levels of the game. Yeah, Sixteen. After the base eight levels shown on the game box and the credits have rolled, the game loops and plays through all eight levels again with a higher level of difficulty. Within level four, there is a secret entrance to an alternate level four. I show this in the first run and show the proper level four boss in the second run.

Two downloads are included. The first is utilising the FM enhancement module and the second is the standard PSG Master-System Sound.
