>>5254230
you're just too low iq to enjoy ascended art

pc-engine has the best music imo but just emulate the arcade version

If you're looking for home ports, both R-Type and R-Type II are best experienced on the Amiga. Hands down THE definitive versions.

The C64 port was done by the great Manfred Trentz, unfortunately it's missing a bunch of stuff because they made him finish it in 7 weeks.

>>5254383
terrible ports this is just rose tinted glasses

Is Dimensions any good?

>>5254489
Just emulate the arcade versions.

>>5254489
I like it ok, although it's not really anything special as re-releases go. I prefer the original graphics and music, which are also included. I also need emulator save states to practice this game without wanting to hang myself, which Dimensions lacks.

R-Type Final for PS2.

>>5253930
whichever one has the most penises

>>5253956
does have an extra boss, though the flicker can get very funky

the PCE CD soundtrack is also shit

Sega System R-Type #1!

>>5254868
Do you have OCD, dude?

>>5253930
MAME it.
The best port was PCEngine, but it had some screen-scroll to compensate for not everything fitting on-screen.

>>5254838
so, your mom??

>>5255107
ouch!

>>5254383
>Amiga
>good port
Nah dog

played through rtype complete and thought it was pretty cool. Then watched some videos on youtube and holy fucking shit the sprite flickering is fucking god awful. Real hardware not even once.

>>5254868
>Sega System R-Type #1!
Correct.
>>5256558
>>best version
>>not master system
Correct.

>>5254868
>>5256564
Wait I think I figured it out.
SEGA system refers to any SEGA console in general.
SEGA Master System is one of them.
But if you were playing it on say a Mega Drive, it's telling you to read to YOUR SEGA system manual, not an specific console's one.
They probably did this in case they wanted to rename the MS to something else at later time.

>>5253930
>Actually, what's the best version of R-Type nowaday?
Gradius.

>>5256574
Enjoy your pachinko

>>5253939
nice

>>5254383
R-type 1? hell no nigger, it was better on pc engine and X68000

R-Type 2 was pretty pure on amiga, since they changed half the levels on the snes port for no reason

>>5256573
They did rename the Sega System to the Master System, many, many years later.

>>5254201
Based

>>5254217
Aeris is better than Tifa
Hips and ass >>>>> saggy milk bags

>>5254201
R-Type is the only good shmup, together with Ikaruga

>>5256970
R-Type, Ikaruga and MUSHA: the holy trinity of overrated shmups.

>>5257072
more like the hidden trinity of underrated hidden gems with a retro feel, take your fruity rank-manipulation games and go back to gayland

>>5256970
Go play Mars Matrix.

>>5253930
The best version is PULSTAR.

dadshit
still better than any jarpig

>>5258308
Those dads! Always playing R-Type! Such a stereotype!

rtype2 amiga is pretty legit. Yall should play it sometime.

>>5259412
>you should play this game
>spoils the ending

>>5259423
what did you think was going to happen?

hm wonder what's happening on the shmup forums.. oh

His very first sentence should discredit everything he types afterwords (up until the day he dies).

>>5259425
It's like when you watch one of these e-celebs and they describe the entire game plot in painstaking detail, ending the video with "you should definitely check this game out". What is even the point by then?

>>5259696
>What is even the point by then?
make things explode really nice?

>>5259696
lmao wtf
R-Type final bosses are always boring shit anyway, not missing anything if you get the entire strategy spoiled in a video. Now if you actually saw a detailed breakdown of the strategy for the final level of both loops maybe you'd have a point

>>5253930
I think NeoGeo did there thing to the R-Type style and Blazing Star and Pulstar are better.

Also Rezon is a great R-Type imagining.

damn. You KNOW you're in for a classic retro gaming experience when the select button actually SELECTS things!!

>>5258263
Wasn't this even done by the original developers of 2 first R-Types? If so, this is pretty much a real R-Type game.

It's got even shitload of references to R-Types
>looks of the ship
>pod mechanics
>pod's blue laser weapon is directly from R-Type games
>first stage's scenery and structure is very similar to R-Type 1
>you fight green mech miniboss at first stage like in all R-Types
>first boss looks very similar to Subtom, R-Type II first boss
>second stage is the organic water stage
>third stage is the giant ship stage
>R-Type boss Gomander/Cyst appears as a boss in second to last stage
