I watched some random old dude play through this almost twice, then he ran of to catch the subway. I died so fast after he gave me the spot. His signature, SOL, was the entire top list. This game, and that guy, built different!

[@artemisiabellashcroft5119]

everybody who say that jaimer is cheating should just shut up and listen to this: The Reasons why Jaimer can survive from getting hit by bullets for entire game because The Force device has ability to block bullets as well as add additional firepower, don't forget that you can detach and then attach the force to the rear. also, iirc, this game was designed to use memory to remember the patterns, it maybe tough at first but once you remember things in the game, it will be easier next time you playing. So, please stop calling him cheating, You're just not good or not knowing about all of force functions. P.S. : Dear Supreme "Jaimers", You can freely pin this comment if you want to. I'm one of your fans. : )

[@ichabodcrane6044]

Its amazing how much easier this game is with auto fire. That said still a great run.

[@SuperGolemio]

I'm stumped on the recovery in stage 8. I was looking on KZbin to see if anyone else had it figured out, and I came across this video. Sounds like the only viable strategy is to get lucky.

[@MeePipe]

It’s definitely doable to complete level 8 on a restart. I’ve done it once and a friend of mine can do it most times now. The trick is to circle the ship in the empty pocket left by the blades and then do a bit of a mad dodging exercise to avoid/shoot the babies. Took a lot of goes to crack but once you get the rhythm it becomes more skill than luck.

[@SuperGolemio]

@@MeePipe That sounds awesome! Thank you for describing it. I'll give it a crack myself, but I'd love to see a replay demonstrating it.

[@MeePipe]

@@SuperGolemio I'll try and get a recording for you. Me and my mate were taking about doing 'recovery' vids to show how to get back on track through the game. Level 4 is a tricky one if you restart halfway, you have to be quick to shoot the power up that appears briefly in the top right of the screen to get a bit back. Level 5 can also be really tricky because it's pseudo-random. Nailing it without power ups is hard but also quite doable once you get a feel for it.

[@SuperGolemio]

@@MeePipe I loooove recovery in R-Type, even in level 7. That's part of what is so dispiriting about level 8! I'd love to see recovery vids become more of a trend on KZbin!

[@MeePipe]

@@SuperGolemio here you go :-) Did it tonight on Loop 2 of the arcade : kzbin.info7NC0SnrDxjA?feature=share

[@BookieKillah]

Never saw end-of-level bosses made such short work of back in 1987, that's for sure...

[@ouchiewowow]

I got a 1cc for this and R-type 2 this month. I think this game was a bit more difficult to clear because you cannot recover and get both bits back after stage 5, unless you get a really lucky drop during the stage 7 boss. The last stage in R-Type 2 was more merciful in that you don't need to be fully powered up to clear it, at least the first loop. EDIT: apparently i only cleared the world version of r-type 2, and its quite a bit easier than the japanese version. so disregard all this.

[@retrogameslover2023]

That was supreme gameplay dude!

[@joeyclemenza7339]

just recently picked this game back up on amazon luna..... didn't think a clean run actually existed. i'm shocked

[@MeePipe]

It's a clean run using autofire , which is not as difficult playing it manually. There is a clear advantage to using autofire. It's definitely possible to finish the game playing as it was intended, I've 1ccd first loop to level 6 on first life. Completed second loop on second credit. Almost there with a 1cc for whole game :-)

[@cieele]

I spent many times playing this in the arcade a couple years ago. Have you ever tried R-Type Final Jaimers?

[@gunstargizmo]

Sadly we never had rapid fire when this game first came to arcades. It was the only arcade game that I was unable to complete until emulation came along.

[@yorkshirepud6676]

back then they wanted your coin ... try play rev 01 Street Fighter and see how long you last......Not Long!!

[@MeePipe]

Good to watch, I've been playing the arcade version for a while so watching others play through is good for tips. I can manage level 8 on one credit but not managed to complete. What are you playing this on? It doesn't look like the arcade version to me - it appears to be running slightly faster and there is no slowdown or graphical flicker like the arcade.

[@yorkshirepud6676]

My guess would be Retroarch with latency turned on this take's any lag away making it close to perfect timing.

[@MeePipe]

@@yorkshirepud6676 cool cheers for the input. Update on my rtype situation - completed the game on 1 life a few weeks ago. As an added bonus I found out difficulty was set to hard (arcade checked the dips)!

[@yorkshirepud6676]

@@MeePipe Niiice one been messing with Retoarch for about 2 weeks tho I can load the NeoGeo core in and set auto fire, I can't with any of the Arcade cores .. it says Classic, Press a Button, Toggle a button but nothing I try give's me the auto fire :( any idea's mate ? using Xbox Series S Controller.

[@MeePipe]

Did you find auto fire :-) just looped back to this video cos I got sent the link again. Have a go without auto fire if you want a proper challenge. I’ve spent a long time playing the game and there is no way you can cut through some of the levels like this at a normal fire rate. It’s a shame the auto fire setting can’t be set to a ‘human’ rate because for a game like this it reduces the difficulty by a large margin.

The Force Pod isn't your hurtbox, is a different entity and its work is to block popcorn enemy and bullets. And learn the hitboxes before speaking.
