PLAYABILITY this is what keeps Nintendo alive

33 years old and the gameboy is still awesome, brilliant conversion of R Type!

Could never pass stage four as a kid either. Happy to see i wasn't the only one.

Okay, that is me perfectly. My first game ever, couldn't beat level 4, MY CHILDHOOD IN A NUTSHELL. Holy hell.

Stage 4 was hard as fuck.

Love to see everyone here had the same problems like me with stage 4. One thing I learned as an adult is that in many games there are sections where you just have to wait a few moments to not die, or make the jump etc. which is really hard if you are young ;) Whatever this game is awesome and pure nostalgia. Never lose any upgrade and its still hard as tungsten! Those were the days...

Wow, having enjoyed playing this classic on ps1 recently it blows my mind that they managed to do this on the original gameboy! Sometimes I forget just how much power that thing had

If some of you are wondering why the screen is not dark like the original R-Type, games on the Gameboy appeared better this way since the screen was LCD and not like a television set - and it used less electricity to maintain.

R-Type for the Game Boy was my first videogame ever! I played it so many years and guess what? I never got further than level 4. Need to buy a GB and finally finish this.

could never get past the 4th stage.. now i know the ending after nearly 20 years: 2 sentences. they really did know how to bust you down after completing a game back then..

Finally I know how the last boss looks like :D

I play (yes today too !) this game everyday in train on my Gameboy dmg-01. Fond memories of the arcade version and the Amstrad cpc version as well. One of the best shoot'em up of that time if not the best

Glad to know I was not the only one stuck in level 4 as a kid

I loved this game back in the day. I really need to find another copy of this and add it back to my Gameboy collection.

the music is bad ass it fortunately doesnt repeat itself from level to level :D

For the 4th level, if you got really close to the ceiling of those tunnels the pringles/don't hit you. To beat the boss battle of that level there is a spot near the top of the screen where enemies don't touch you, go there with the drone attached to your rear and it will damage them when they pass near you (their weak spot is the light in their back), have the beam charged to one hit kill those who are inverted.

AMO LA MÚSICA DE ESTE JUEGO, ES UN JUEGO QUE NUNCA OLVIDARÉ, POR SUS GRÁFICOS SENCILLOS Y SU NIVEL DE DIFICULTAD TAN JUGABLE.

Great Melodie!

Beating this was such a blast as a kid.

I learned a lot of cool tricks from this video.

Das war schon was. Mehrere 100 Spiele noch auswendig im Kopf. Hirn speichert GEILES.!

You only returned a “short peace”. You need to complete the second loop if you want to obtain to true ending and destroy the Bydo Empire indefinably. It’s actually not a great deal harder then the first.

yeahhhh i watch stage 5 and stage 6 after so many years

very good 👍 I used to beat this game too in the past 😃

I actually prefer this to the arcade version, the 'slowdown' helps a lot lol. There are tons of great shooters on the Gameboy, this and Nemesis are my favourites (I give Solar Striker props too).

I've never heard of this before but it's cool.

I never see the final this game. thanks you I could see him.

This and super mario land 2 is all I used to play on my gameboy XD

That feel in the second level when you become fast

This video makes it look easy couldnt get past stage 4 as a kid!

The Arcade Hit Is Now On Your Nintendo Game Boy From Irem! Blast Off And Strike The Evil Bydo Empire In R-TYPE!

omg i didnt remember it's name, now that r-type 2 is out, I found it. yepeee

Amazing Graphic.

They sent me to anger management class in elementary because of this

That very last soundtrack is really good. Any way to get it?

I completed this on GameBoy as a kid, cop that noobs!

이거보고 오늘 구매하러 갑니다 !! nice game!

I watch this and then i think about all the people who said the gameboy had serious hardware limitations, and then i laugh

has anyone noticed that the music is lagging/missing some notes when you shoot like a mad man? Thought it'd be better on an emulator, but I guess not xd

RIP HEADPHONE USERS during the stage clear bonus score tally💀

I always thought the ship looked like a giant finger

Gran juego

This game sounds awesome on a real Game Boy or Game Boy Pocket while on a Game Boy Color and up, the buzzing part of the music sounds crappy and just like a square wave beep.

it's almost as if you know whats coming next

Haha, now I see that too.

anyone notice how rare this game has gotten...just looked on ebay only 1 listing for the American version.

yfw you didn't pick the speed power up in the second level because you were too fast and crashed often.

To this day I've never worked out what those flying Pringle things are I level 4.

this guy is a genius o_O not even dieing once

They repeat the bgm of the stages 1 and 2 for later stages. But this is probably not a problem cuz they know kids cannot pass through stage 4.

Dat 2nd boss...

@AmyBohemi Lol me too, never made it past level 4. Games these days are f*ck*ng simple compared to before. Most of my gameboy games I never completed except for Super Mario. Maybe the good games back in the days were the ones that you could keep playing after 10,000 deaths and the mediocre ones were those that got boring after 5000 deaths ;)

NEVER CAN NOT GEAR STAGE4

Me and 67247273580 people couldn't pass level 4. Seriously, just look at it, jesus christ it has shit coming from all over the place.

I thought the enemies in Stage 1 were noses. And you were dodging almonds in Stage 4.

This is similar to Nemesis.

eh, what's the ultimate challenge?

14:08　AC版とけっこうちがうね🙃

Sadly, this version does not beat the PC Engine version

A little disappointing compared to the SMS version. They really needed a bigger ROM for this one.

Wow, this was certainly recorded off of a horrible emulator.
