woah woah woah, I can understand not like darius, gradius, or raiden cause you just kind of fly to the left and shoot stuff and up in the case of raiden (love it myself but can see why some might not). R-type is a masterpiece man the music, the graphics just come together and then get topped off with some of the best gameplay in a shmup ever make it one of the GOAT. That fight against the bydo warship in level 3 is so heroic just your tiny R9 versus this massive warship that you and your force have to maneuver around taking out all its weapons as its firing everything it has at you. Seriously one of the best levels in video games ever.

That music too starts off as like OH GOD WHAT IS THIS THING APPROACHING then kicks it into this awesome battle theme.

I only got into r-type a few years ago too so I don't know why I have such a boner for it.
