Amiga R-Type is for wimps.

Japanese Arcade/MAME version for the hardcore gamer.

IIRC there's hardly any difference between these two.

I had Amiga R-Type, as it was a big favorite when I was in college.  Dumped a lot of quarters into that thing..

Anyway, I figured out why it was so dang hard, even tho the graphics and sounds were nearly pixel perfect replicants of the arcade version-my disk was PAL, and it was playing 20 percent fast-it was hard coded for 50hz displays!

Sadly, I accidentally killed my disk by ejecting it with the light on :-(  Anyone got an NTSC version of R-Type that they'd like to sell?
maybe the R-Type 2 adf they offer on Back 2 the Roots is NTSC, you might try.
