When the SNES came out, one of the launch titles that immediately got my attention was R-Type. But not just R-Type, it was a Super R-Type! A remake/remix of the original arcade version, with loads of extras, exclusive to the Super Nintendo. Even if I had played the Arcade and amiga versions, when I got this one, it stayed in the SNES cartridge slot for a long, long time. This is me having some nostalgic fun on levels 1 and 2.
as a kid, one of the hardest games i played, i couldn’t get passed the first few levels
I never could finish it
i remember this game. love it and one of my favorite snes games. i had this game, very hard once u get far in the game. i used to play this all day when i was a kid. not sure what happened to the game and my snes doesnt work no more so i threw it away. -_-
cool
well i have this one on a real snes and i know how hard is game it was so
if you don’t want to trow the snes controller into the tv dont try to beat the game
i remember renting this when i was a kid and i actually never returned it lol
it was so good
love dis game!! 1st game i got 4 my super NES… Classic!
Man, I’ve been playing this all week with a Fighter Stick SN. What is up with having to start the whole level again when you die? This game is so damn unforgiving. Awesome music for a game released so early.
This game is set on easy!!!!!
I loved this game when
i was 4 and I still love it!
I love this game <3
I am seriously about to dig my SNES out the closet man
Level 3 always pwned me whenever I played this when I was little, but when I played it much older, I had a lot more fun with it. It’s good to see a game that doesn’t lose its value as it ages, but just gets better. This game is like a fine wine.
@swarrior216 TG16 version is a port of R Type 1 where as Super R Type is based on R Type II (though about half the levels are exclusive to Super R Type).
However TG16 was split into two carts in some territories (as has been pointed out) and the second cart is referred to as R Type 2 which kind of makes things confusing as it’s just the second half of R Type!!
You haven’t lived until you’ve played this game on a home theater system!!!!
The music and sound effects of this game really pushed the boundaries of what the audio chips were capable of producing! Tons of awesome reverb effects, for example.
I also liked the hexadecimal (base 16) counting system, like in the option menu.
A combination of awesome music and fuckin awesome gameplay, as well as insane details in the game itself, makes for one classic beast of a game. R-TYPE ROCKS THE FAN!!!!
you know, after you finish the game on hard mode, you will unlock the pro mode!
You can one-shot the first boss by getting a hang of the beam charge at the ideal time that the fight initiates.
Charge the beam, and the second the boss makes his first pause at the lower-right of the screen, get as close as possible and blow him to shreds.
Super R-Type comes with an extra level.
I always played U.N Squadron over this game for some reason… they were both fun games, its too bad my SNES dosn’t work anymore :/
i loved this game when i was little but hard as hell
The human sprites at the intro sequence are pretty tiny! You can hardly see them!
This game always had such a catchy tune.
@swarrior216
The TG-16 game is the first one. Super R-Type is a port of R-Type II.
