In this SNES sequel to the arcade R-Type shooters, you are the R-9, Earth's most advanced form of defense against the evil BYDO Empire. There are seven stages you must go through, picking up power-up items to defeat the stage bosses which have returned from the arcade versions of R-Type and R-Type II. Your R-9 ship can also be united with FORCE, which are invincible units that surround your ship to protect you and can also power up and attack.

A lot of R-Type fans don't like this one, but I had a great time with it. This was the first shmup I beat, and it held my attention more than most others did at the time. I really enjoyed all the points where I could use the pod as a weapon or a shield. Fun combat with an even pace and some amount of strategy.

I see it being fun for those who like this game. I find it to be a bit hard, but I would love to take it on one day on the easy difficulty
