R-Type DX

The original R-Type was a side-scrolling arcade game from the 80s by Irem. Here it is again on the Gameboy Color. 1999.

You play as a R-Type ship fighting against the alien empire. The game contains 5 R-type games.

R-Type I, II (regular black and white)

R-Type I, II (Gameboy Color)

All new R-Type DX

All of the R-Type games are very difficult. I think R-Type II could be the easiest. This game takes timing, patience and good reaction skills. Probably one of the hardest shooter games out there. Your ship must not run into anything on screen unless it is a power-up. You have to do a lot of maneuvering on screen while the screen slowly moves forward (or right to left). If you want a challenging shooter for gameboy they you should play R-Type DX (Deluxe).
