R-Type's intricate graphics and intense gameplay will take you back to those heady days when side-scrolling shoot-'em-ups ruled the arcade. The simple task of blasting bad guys and dodging bullets has pulled many gamers to the arcades, and now this experience has been recreated on Game Boy Color. R-Type DX contains an incredible five different R-Type games, in a virtual museum of two-dimensional, side-scrolling blasters. Players can experience R-Type and R-Type II in their original black and white Game Boy formats, or play colour-enhanced versions of the time-honoured titles. The fifth game, R-Type DX, combines the first two games in a seamless outer-space assault against the evil BYDO empire. R-Type DX is swarming with enemies and packed full of power-ups - including the revolutionary Power Pod, a floating ball that faithfully follows your craft and fires of its own accord, and can be attached to the front or back of your R-9 Fighter to ramp up its firepower to devastating levels. The action is furiously fast, with formidable bosses lurking at the end of each level.
