A playthrough of Irem's 1994 shoot 'em up for the Super Nintendo, R-Type III: The Third Lightning.

This video shows both loops through the game. After beating it the first time you are given access to the Advanced mode. Finishing this harder loop gives the final ending. I think this is probably my best play to date of this one, I can't can't believe I only died once. Usually I'm near my last life by the end.

This is a fantastic follow-up to Super R-Type. It's a fair amount easier (except for the final two stages - you stand no chance of getting through those without memorizing EVERY pattern), and it still had some issues with slowdown, but they're much improved. The soundtrack carries on Super R-Type's incredible synth pop-rock style guitar/orchestra hit theme, there are some insanely impressive graphic effects rivaling those in Konami's shooters on display, and it oozes personality, even with the censorship in the US version.

If you're a shmup fanatic or a SNES nut, this system-exclusive entry in the hallowed Irem series is an amazing way to hone those twitch skills.
