発売年:1989.12
開発/発売元:アイレム

一躍アイレムの看板作品となった大ヒットシューティングゲーム「R-TYPE」の続編。プレイヤーは「R-9改」に乗り込み、蘇り逆襲に高ぶる新生バイド帝国の手から宇宙を守ることを目的としている。基本的な操作方法やパワーアップシステムを継承するなど、前作を大きく変更することは避けている。ただし、前作の3種類の武器に加えて、新たに2種類のレーザー系の武器が追加された他、ある一定のタイミングで発射可能な「拡散波動砲」も用意されている。また、グラフィックに関しては、前作よりもかなり渋め。全6ステージ。

ストーリー:
帝国が蘇った。それは新たなるパワーを得、異次元空間で急激な進化を遂げていたのだ。再び恐怖と戦慄にさらされた宇宙を救うため、人類は強化型R-9を前線へと出撃させた。新生バイド帝国の逆襲がここに始まる。

R-Type II (c) 1989 Irem.

The sequel to the hugely successful original finds the evil Bydo Empire once again intent on the destruction of all mankind in this sideways scrolling, six-level shoot-em-up.

The innovative weapons system of the original game - the 'Beam Weapon' and 'Force Pod' - make a welcome return and remain unchanged for the sequel.

The tight, demanding gameplay and high emphasis on correct usage of the weapons system also return - although the sequel is, if anything, even more demanding than its already unforgiving predecessor; with more durable enemies and trickier level design.

R-Type II features three new weapon shot types:
* Green - Search Laser - fires semi-homing lasers that can bend at 45° angles.
* Grey - Shotgun Laser - fires large shells that travel a short distance before exploding powerfully.
* Scatter Bomb - drops bombs to the ground; when these explode, the explosion scatters forwards along the ground. This is a supporting weapon that can be equipped instead of missiles.

In addition to the new weapons, R-type II's Beam Weapon has received an upgrade. As with the first game, holding down the fire button makes a power gauge fill up, releases the button then unleashes a powerful plasma shot. For the sequel, however, continuing to hold down the button causes the gauge to charge up further. This 'double-charged' gauge flashes blue and red and releases an even more powerful plasma burst.
