"Super R-Type"
Megadrive - wrote on 06/08/18
Conversion of one of the best shoot 'em up series around, based upon R-Type II with some SNES-only extras thrown in. It looks great and has all of the elements of a really good shooter, save for a couple of niggles: it has a bit of an issue with slowdown when the screen gets cluttered and the complete absence of checkpoints. I like a challenge, but being sent back to the very beginning of a level after being killed during the boss fight is just a pain. For this reason, R-Type III is the better choice.
