However, the Arrowhead is a fairly sizeable target - making the play area a far from spacious one - and it does not help that the ship's collision parameters are questionable.

Premium Review R-Type DX (GB): A Different Type Of Bullet Hell (371 words)

R-Type is a side-scrolling shooter, with waves of aliens coming at you, and you need quick reflexes and a quicker thumb to survive! The action is fast, the game is wonderfully challenging, and the graphics are clear and ...
