RタイプI

The stage one boss music still gives me chills, and the controls are spot-on for dodging those tight corridors. It’s a shame only the first four levels are included, but the conversion quality makes up for the missing content.

I was blown away by how faithfully this captures the arcade’s chaotic sprite work and screen-filling bosses, even if it only has four levels. The audio is crisp and the difficulty feels just right for a quick session. Definitely a must-have for shmup fans.

The HuCard loads instantly and the arcade sprites are spot-on, though I wish the later stages had made the cut. That first alien still gives me chills every time I hit level one.
