Chronological order

1990 · Irem

Irem's foundational horizontal shmup on TurboGrafx-16 — R-Type is one of the most accurate home conversions of the 1987 arcade original, featuring the Force pod attachment system, screen-filling bosses, and the methodical memorization-based gameplay that defined its genre. The TG16 version's near-arcade quality made it the definitive home version of its era.
