It's quite tragic that these days most people won't recognise that this amount of gameplay and arcade accuracy (and graphics) on a machine with less processing power than the average modern washing machine, less memory than the average Word document and the most finicky display layout imaginable, took some phenomenal coding skills.

That was one unforgiving game. Lose the powerups, a harsh collision detection and the 48k+ had many a teethmark imposed.

Craney, I think I have understood, in part, what Masta tried to say. I think that the Nemesis series are better than the R-Type series... But he is totally wrong comparing Speccy with MSX. Do not care, Craney - He is just stupid. Anyway, I have never seen the R-Type in the speccy... I think it rocks a lot.

Masta 686 Yamato, are you trying to compare high definition game with good meaning design? How old are you? 6? 7?This game gave rise to many other shooting and slicing games which you play today. So, you'd better think twice before sending the message. I am 28 years old, and I know that classic games had distinguish flavor which modern game have lost nowdays.

The most crappy game ever made. This is even worse than Devil World for NES. Complete crap. If you want to play a good shmup, try the Nemesis/Gradius series.

This game was modernized, but the old original is still better

Level 1: Why cut before the end of level boss is shown? or wasn't there an end of level boss?
