"R-TYPE" ... the definitive 80's shooter. First launched in 1987 as an Irem arcade game, R-Type was said to have "the most visually intriguing screen graphics ever to come to the video arcade". Consequently R-type was transported to home computer formats and sold more than a million throughout Europe / Australasia in the 80s and early 90s. Having been successfully republished on multiple platforms, including PS2,Elite is tremendously proud to bring this arcade classic to mobile!
