Let's Play: R-Type II (With Cheats)
2Played by Boricuaretrogamer
Welcome to another Game Boy Walkthroughs episode with cheat codes!
My gaming journey continues with another R-Type installment: R-Type II. It was developed by Irem in Japan, Arc Developments and Bits Studios (now defunct) on Arcade in 1989, Revision C in 1989, in Europe for Amiga in 1991, for Atari ST in 1991 (Europe), and on Game Boy in December 11, 1992 (Japan) and in North America and Europe in the same year. It's a single player, side-scrolling shoot'em up sequel from the previous R-Type game. Also it was published by Irem (Japan), Capcom (US) and Activision (Europe).
History:
The game is the sequel to R-Type, which was first released as an arcade game in 1987 and profoundly influenced later shooting games with its charge shots, unique weaponry, and grotesque enemies. Hudson Soft ported the later 4 levels of the original R-Type to the PC Engine with the title R-Type II, but the Hudson release is unrelated to the game described in this article.
The player controls a ship called the R-9C (or R-9 Custom), which is an improved version of its predecessor game's ship; the R-9. The ship's design was changed slightly, and the wave cannon was given homing capabilities. Two new types of weapons (the Search Laser and Shotgun Laser) were added, bringing the total number of weapon types up to five. A new anti-ground unit bomb was also added to the missile inventory.
Though the number of levels was decreased from the prequel, the number of enemies, their durability, and the number of bullets they shoot were greatly increased. Enemy movements and terrain were also made trickier, bringing the game's difficulty up considerably. The same revival system is used as in the prequel, where the player is brought back to a checkpoint whenever their ship is destroyed.
