Bit late to this party but R-Type was one of favourites at the arcades and back when ther were so many outstanding games.
I occasionally get my kids to try them and despite the fact the controls are so much easier they can’t play them, the games are too hard!!!
I feel the same way about their games or at least the controls, I feel like I need to learn to be a court stenographer to use the controls using multiple combos to do something. Pah I say!
