Hello The Retro Challenger and R-Type community!
I would like to request creating two new categories/sub-categories for R-Type (SMS), and I want to explain why.
-
R-Type (TG-16) Despite looking similar to the arcade and SMS versions, R-Type for the TG-16 actually has more bosses than any other version of the game! There’s an extra boss that pops up at the end of stage 6. For that reason, R-Type for the TG-16 is different enough that it deserves to be in its own category.
-
R-Type (PC Engine) In Japan, the original R-Type was split into two video games, called R-Type I and R-Type II. R-Type I contains stages 1-4, while R-Type II contains stages 5-8. That means people playing the Japanese version of R-Type on the TG-16 would only need to complete half of the game to complete the run! For this reason, R-Type for the PC Engine would also need to have its own list.
What are your thoughts? I would love to see these new categories get created so that the hard work of all R-Type players could be recognized!
