Description

Super R-Type is a shooter for the Super Nintendo, developed and published by Irem in 1991, during the system's launch. It is part of the R-Type series. It is a semi-port of both R-Type and R-Type II (mostly inclined towards the latter) with some variations.

It is known for its unforgiving difficulty (even compared to other games in the series), particularly because of its lack of checkpoints, since dying means restarting the level from scratch. Also, this game suffers from some slowdowns, which was also a problem in many third-party SNES launch games (including Gradius III).
