PlayRetroGamesClubBot Welcome to Game of the Week, where we play a short, random game each week and discuss it. This week's Game of the Week is R-Type! What is it? R-Type has returned! The legendary side-scroller is back and better than ever with beautifully rendered 3D graphics, exhilarating shoot-'em-up gameplay, and a multitude of stages, ships, and weapons that will allow you to conduct a symphony of destruction upon your foes.

jjenningsJRH Brutal Game Difficulty. I had forgotten how hard this game is. The CD version has a great soundtrack something else I had forgotten. Great pick for the week.
JoeysRetroHandhelds jjenningsJRH It's actually insanely difficult lol I had a lot of trouble with this one and abused save states constantly!
SergioPepeu jjenningsJRH jjenningsJRH It really is brutally difficult! The PC Engine is actually one of my favorite consoles, precisely because of its amazing shmup library. And I’ll admit it: I used save states with absolutely no shame 😂
