R-Type is a horizontal-scrolling shooter arcade game developed and released by IREM in 1987. Players control a star ship called the R-9 "Arrowhead" and set out to destroy the Bydo, a powerful alien race bent on wiping out all of mankind.
R-Type was the first game to run on IREM's 16-bit M72 arcade system and was well-received by most gaming critics for its graphics and addictive gameplay.
The sequel, R-Type II, is also coming to the iiRcade Store and was released in 1989. R-Type II features the R-9C ship, which is an improved version of its predecessor game's ship, the R-9, two new types of weapons being added, the Search Laser and Shotgun Laser.
Armed Police Unit Gallop is a spin-off title from the R-Type series that was released in the arcades in 1991. The player pilots an R-Type fighter in this horizontal shooter tasked with hunting down autonomous vehicles driven berserk by the Bydo, dubbed "Mad Cars".
