R-Type is a classic side-scrolling shooter video game originally developed by Irem and released for the arcade in 1987. It was subsequently ported to various platforms, including the Commodore 64 in 1988. The game is renowned for its challenging gameplay and innovative design, featuring a unique power-up system and the Force device, a detachable pod that offers both offensive and defensive capabilities. Set in a science fiction environment, players assume control of the R-9 spacecraft to battle against the evil Bydo Empire. Its influence on the shoot 'em up genre has been significant, with R-Type being remembered as a notoriously difficult yet highly influential title within its category.
