R-Type - Turbo Grafx 16 Game

R-Type is the legendary 1989 side-scrolling shooter from Irem, faithfully ported to the Turbo Grafx 16. You pilot the R-9 Arrowhead fighter against the monstrous Bydo Empire, collecting power-ups and attaching the iconic Force Device—a detachable orb that absorbs enemy fire and fires its own weapons. Use the chargeable Wave Cannon laser to obliterate waves of smaller enemies, and position your Force strategically in front or behind your ship for maximum protection. Screen-filling bosses require precise pattern memorization, and one hit destroys your ship (you can recover your lost Force if you reach it). A brutal, satisfying shooter that helped define the genre.
