R-Type Review by: gamerforlifefor.. - 8.7/10

The best R-Type port
In the year of 1987, a new space shooting arcade game hit the market. That game is known as R-Type. Numerous ports and sequels of this classic were made because of it's success. Today, I'll be reviewing the Sega Master System version, which is in my opinion the best port of the arcade classic. Why do I feel this way? I'll tell you why by making this review.

Graphics: 8/10 For an arcade game ported to a system like the Sega Master System, R-Type looks great. The enemies look very menacing, the ship you use looks great, the levels themselves also look great for it's time. My only issue with the graphics is the fact that when you get into super intense combat against lots of enemies at once, the screen starts to flicker. Then again, the Master System has other games that have flickering issues, such as Space Herrier. Overall, despite the flickering, I say the graphics are good enough for me to give this category a 8.

Sound: 9/10 R-Type's soundtrack is among the best you'll hear in a Master System game. Everything from the music in the 1st level to the epic boss music will make you want to keep playing. If you're looking for a space shooter with a brilliant soundtrack, R-Type is the game for you. I would say though that there are a few SMS games with better soundtracks, such as Sonic 1 and 2. Still, I'm giving the sound a 9 because of how great it is compared to most of the Master System's library.

Addictiveness: 10/10
This is the category where R-Type truly shines. R-Type has the best gameplay I've ever seen in a space shooting game. There's this really interesting feature that separates itself from older space shooters like Galaga. That feature is called The Force. I know what you're probably thinking right now "This isn't a Star Wars game Gamer". I know it's not,this force is different, it's a orange orb that's used in several different ways. It can be attached to your ship, you can detach it and let it fly around on it's own. You can also use it as extra firepower, or as a shield. The possibilities are endless with the Force and it makes R-Type one of the most addicting space shooters I've ever played. For these reasons, I'm giving the addictiveness a 10.

Story: 2/10 The story in R Type involves you controlling a 22nd century spaceship. Your mission is to destroy the Bydo Empire, which is an army of aliens. There isn't much story involved with this game, so I'm giving this category a 2.

Depth: 7/10
R Type offers a good amount of substance for a game as difficult as this game is. There are 8 levels to complete, and since this game's so tough, those 8 levels will keep you occupied for awhile. There are longer games out there, even on the SMS, though such as Phantasy Star and Ys. Overall though, there's enough content for me to give the depth a 7.

Difficulty: 10/10 R-Type has to be the toughest space shooter I've ever played. There's a large swarm of enemies in each level that require you to be a master at dodging and using the force at it's maximum potential. In later levels, you have to be exactly precise with your movements and your shooting or you'll die. It doesn't help when you also have to deal with the flickering when you're battling tons of enemies at once. If you're looking for an insanely challenging space shooter, then R-Type's the game for you. For these reasons, I'm giving the difficulty a 10.

Overall Score: 8.7/10 R-Type for the Sega Master System is a great example of how good an arcade port can be. The visuals were great for the time and it has a wonderful soundtrack. R-Type's got the best gameplay of any space shooter I've played, and it's a super challenging masterpiece. If it weren't for the flickering graphics, this game would've received a higher score. I'm giving R-Type for the Sega Master System an 8.7 out of 10.

R-Type Cheat Codes

Extra Continues

Push in a clockwise circle to get free continues. Keep going in circles until time is about to expire, then hit button 1. This can earn you up to 12 continues. You don't have to get all 12 in one try. When those are expired, push the pad counter-clockwise to bring up the sound test. Hold button 2 and go right to sound 62. Play it 3 times then exit the test. Then resume the clockwise circles to earn more continues. After getting 30 more, you will need to replay sound 62 3 times again to get more.


Secret Level

In the stage with all the green cells (either Level 4 or 5), look for a section about 45 seconds in where the top border suddenly has a gap about 3 ship lengths long. Fly into the gap and move backwards. If you're quick and the back edge doesn't scroll off screen, you will teleport to a bonus stage. As a note, the boss of the secret stage doesn't flash when he's hit, unlike all the others.


Access the Sound Test

In the continue screen, rotate the D-Pad in a counter clockwise direction until the sound test screen comes up. Inputing 00 will return you to the continue screen and if button 2 is held during choosing the various sounds, sounds 01 to 95 would be available.


Invincibility

You need to have 2 controllers and plug them both in. With the system off, on controller 1, hold Down-Right, and on controller 2, hold Up-Left + Button 1.
Turn on the system. After R-Type finishes flashing across the screen, you can let go.
This usually takes a few tries to accomplish.
