R-Type III: The Third Lightning Irem;Nintendo (Irem)1993It was believed on Earth that the deadly BYDO Empire had been destroyed - but now they’ve returned, as nasty as ever. Their ships and armies are more powerful than before, and Earth will surely be conquered unless the new R-90 ship can destroy them. Powered with engines that launch it into different dimensions, and armed with the Round, Shadow and Cyclone Forces, the R-90 has what it takes to wipe out the BYDO threat. The BYDO mother ship must be found and destroyed to entirely erase the species from our galaxy.***Nice side scrolling shooter from Irem. Good gfx and sound, great gameplay - nothing more to say - just play

One of the best shoot'm up for SNES. Good graphics, very good sound and music and excellent playability. This game and the Gradius (or Nemesis) saga are the best of the SNES games.
