This is the console port of R-Type II, featuring a new level at the start, tons of slowdown (though not as bad as Steel Empire or Thunder Force IV), and no checkpoints OR instant respawn. If you die, even at the boss, you're back at the start of the level. It's really absurd, and doesn't have much of a cool factor propping it up like its sequel does. Wouldn't recommend.

Shoutout to these penis crabs in the final stage as well. I hope you like it, because they swarm you constantly until you reach the end boss.
