Spectrum Computing Official description
A DAZZLING AND DEADLY GAME OF COSMIC ENCOUNTER.
The final showdown has begun! At the controls of your powerful R-9 interstellar craft, you maneuver into enemy territory-the monstrous Bydo Empire.
Your mission: to destroy the evil forces who have held the cosmos in fear and relentless suffering.
It's a fight to the death against an uncommon cadre of space oddities-gigantic slithering serpents, whirling space bugs and fantastic galactic warships--all bombarding your lone craft amid an exotic cosmic landscape.
Armed with the latest R-Type lasers, you possess spectacular fighting power. But your enemies are ruthless in their attack. To survive, you'll need to seek out the power crystals that give you added weapons strength and protection.
Can you endure the onslaught? Are you a mighty-enough warrior to survive eight stages of battle to face the final confrontation and win?
The fate of the cosmos is in your hands.
R-TYPE-the outrageous game of cosmic encounter that has the entire galaxy talking.
