'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (アール・タイプ) is a highly influential arcade shoot-'em-up by [[Irem]] in 1987. The game saw numerous ports to home computers and consoles, including a [[PC-88 VA]] version by [[NEC Home Electronics]] in 1988.
 +
 
 +
The [[TurboGrafx-16]] version, released in North America in 1989, is a combined version of ''[[R-Type I]]'' and ''[[R-Type II]]'', which were previously released in Japan for the [[PC Engine]].
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
The Bydo Empire, aliens from another dimensional plane, are preparing to invade Earth. The Earth Defense League has deployed the R-9, a top secret spacecraft, to counter-ambush the enemy in their own dimensional plane.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
===TurboGrafx-16 version===
 +
The game is a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up composed of several stages, with a boss enemy at the end of each. The player controls a small spacecraft called the R-9 and must navigate terrain and fight enemies using the various ship weapons. The R-9 moves in any direction with the D-Pad. The playfield is slightly taller than the viewable area, so the screen pans when the ship is near the top or bottom. It is equipped with a main gun, fired with {{II}}. A more powerful gun called the Wave Cannon can be charged by holding {{II}}. The Wave Cannon destroys larger enemies in fewer hits and can penetrate through multiple targets.
 +
 
 +
During the game, the player can obtain an auxiliary device called a Force (also called the "Power Pod" in the manual), which resembles a glowing orange ball. The Force appears after collecting a weapon upgrade and can be attached to the front or back of the R-9. It can be detached with {{I}} to fly freely. Likewise, it can be called back to the R-9 with {{I}}. The Force initially fires a pulse beam away from the ship when attached, but it can be upgraded by collecting another weapon upgrade to provide one of three different powerful weapons. It can be upgraded another time by collecting another weapon upgrade, which further empowers its weapon. When detached, the Force instead fires a secondary set of guns concurrently with the R-9's main gun, even if the Force is at a distance from the spacecraft. These guns fire directly up and down and at 45-degree angles up and down in front of it. Additionally, the Force is completely indestructible and therefore acts as a shield, neutralizing enemy fire from the back or the front of the R-9 (depending on where it is mounted) and destroying enemies that it contacts.
 +
 
 +
The R-9 is destroyed after taking a hit from an enemy or by colliding with terrain. The player starts over from a predetermined checkpoint without any power-ups after losing a life. If the player runs out of extra lives, the game ends, but it can be continued as long as the player has credits remaining. The player is awarded extra lives at 50,000, 200,000, 350,000, 500,000, and 700,000 points. After finishing the game once, it loops again at a higher difficulty.

R-Type (アール・タイプ) is a highly influential arcade shoot-'em-up by Irem in 1987. The game saw numerous ports to home computers and consoles, including a PC-88 VA version by NEC Home Electronics in 1988.

The TurboGrafx-16 version, released in North America in 1989, is a combined version of R-Type I and R-Type II, which were previously released in Japan for the PC Engine.

Story

The Bydo Empire, aliens from another dimensional plane, are preparing to invade Earth. The Earth Defense League has deployed the R-9, a top secret spacecraft, to counter-ambush the enemy in their own dimensional plane.

Gameplay

TurboGrafx-16 version

The game is a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up composed of several stages, with a boss enemy at the end of each. The player controls a small spacecraft called the R-9 and must navigate terrain and fight enemies using the various ship weapons. The R-9 moves in any direction with the D-Pad. The playfield is slightly taller than the viewable area, so the screen pans when the ship is near the top or bottom. It is equipped with a main gun, fired with Ⅱ. A more powerful gun called the Wave Cannon can be charged by holding Ⅱ. The Wave Cannon destroys larger enemies in fewer hits and can penetrate through multiple targets.

During the game, the player can obtain an auxiliary device called a Force (also called the "Power Pod" in the manual), which resembles a glowing orange ball. The Force appears after collecting a weapon upgrade and can be attached to the front or back of the R-9. It can be detached with Ⅰ to fly freely. Likewise, it can be called back to the R-9 with Ⅰ. The Force initially fires a pulse beam away from the ship when attached, but it can be upgraded by collecting another weapon upgrade to provide one of three different powerful weapons. It can be upgraded another time by collecting another weapon upgrade, which further empowers its weapon. When detached, the Force instead fires a secondary set of guns concurrently with the R-9's main gun, even if the Force is at a distance from the spacecraft. These guns fire directly up and down and at 45-degree angles up and down in front of it. Additionally, the Force is completely indestructible and therefore acts as a shield, neutralizing enemy fire from the back or the front of the R-9 (depending on where it is mounted) and destroying enemies that it contacts.

The R-9 is destroyed after taking a hit from an enemy or by colliding with terrain. The player starts over from a predetermined checkpoint without any power-ups after losing a life. If the player runs out of extra lives, the game ends, but it can be continued as long as the player has credits remaining. The player is awarded extra lives at 50,000, 200,000, 350,000, 500,000, and 700,000 points. After finishing the game once, it loops again at a higher difficulty.
