I have to agree the music is excellent. You will have you humming for days.

I have just downloaded it. I kept putting it off as I loved R-type in the arcade but none of the 'home' versions had the same feel. How annoyed I was when I finally did and I realised I had wasted so much time without it! I could be on level 5 by now.

I had previously been playing the Mastersystem version but the PC Engine port is incredible. Now thats flicker for you . If you have been putting off downloading it - don't it's amazing even 15 years after it's release.
