THE best shooter in the arcade rooms in 1987. Huge hit when it came out.

Yes. I went to the Arcades at 8am before my studies to play for one hour. It took weeks till I mastered all the levels. The new version for iOS using the orginal graphics and code is awesome because you can switch from 2D pixel to 3D anytime.

We had yet so little but we were so extremely happy with the little we got. I remember easily sinking at least a thousand bucks into that mashine around 1988. After "Gradius" in 1986/1987, it was just a given to switch to this machine. During this period of time every single fitting coin I had went straight into these machines.

First boss can be killed faster. Hold a charged shot and be lined up half the R-9's height above level with the belly face. As the face comes out of the belly, the tail will be whipping down, right as it is fully extended, release the charged shot and then the Force. Fire as rapidly as possible. If done right the Force will lodge on/over the belly face doing damage by contact and from the multiple shots coming out of it. It's possible to kill the boss within 2 seconds of it exposing the belly face.

My dad has old memories when he used to go to the arcade and play this game. He told me that this game was so hard to complete, he only completed this game ONCE... Only once, but that was all because it took an intense amount of skill to play it (I find that sooo hard to believe) Because the games we play now is nothing as it used to be. I tried the old 1987 classic games and I instantly got hooked to them... I love all games, we should respect these classic games because this is the mother of all our new games. Without these legends, where will our Brand New PlayStation's and X-Box's be? ^^ I love you Classic world!!!

The first R-Type strikes a great balance. It gets the difficulty curve right and eases you into the brutality. That wasn’t so common in the late 80s. There were a lot of shooters with interesting play mechanics that snuffed it out before the player could gain a foothold. Most people didn’t see past the second level in Gemini Wing and Dragon Spirit just hates you from the start. The unique mechanics couldn’t reach their full potential. Here, they get it. And the chunky sprites really sell it without crowding the screen too much. That’s why there’s a million sequels.

3rd boss can be killed much faster as well, by keeping the air to air laser (blue/red double helix). Rear mount it to handle the front cannons and other gunnery above. Quickly make your way back ignoring the reflect laser and take out the multi-directional firing pod with your Force. Quickly release the Force and front mount it staying right over the ships final weak point to absorb the shots it fires upward. As soon as it pulls in stick your Force into it and fire away. Done right the ship is done before the level music has faded out and the boss level music begun.
