R-Type Game History

R-Type upon it's release was believed by many gamers to revolutionize the genre. It was also known for it's incredible level of difficulty. The game sported amazingly fluid game play, and beautifully rich graphics and level design. R-Type is a true video game experience, and deserves it's status as one of the best shoot 'em ups ever.

The History of R-Type: Prepare for Blast Off

The game was developed and published by Irem for release in Japan in 1987 and by Nintendo for it's North American release. R-Type is a single or multi-player gaming experience of the shoot 'em up genre.

The gamer plays the role of a pilot on-board a futuristic fighter, the R-9a. The objective, to destroy the Bydo Empire. What made the game unique was the level design, which can be classed as an enemy itself.

The R-9a come equipped with a standard cannon, but if the fire button was held down the cannon would charge and fire a huge blast that would take down all but the strongest of enemies. Another previously unseen feature was the force. This was a detachable laser cannon that could be attached to the front or back of the R-9a. It would absorb all enemy attacks. It could also be used as a weapon in itself, and could be fired into the enemy before being pulled back.
