I love the game, but I am a terrible player. In the 1990s I had the Game Boy version, but I don't think I ever got past stage 2.

... don't beat yourself up. R-Type requires a pretty high skill level (at least the arcade version... I never played the Game Boy version)! ;)

Yes, it's infamously difficult for a shoot 'em up. The gameplay has many bottlenecks were only one specific action will let you through.

The GB port is pretty good.

I played arcade version and C64 version... but in this second case, I had infinite lives/energy!!! :P

This seems interesting... looks like Sunman for the NES was supposed to be a licensed Superman game, but ultimately Sunsoft lost the license rights and was forced to make some alterations. Luckily there are a couple of patches that try to return it to its previous status.



They are this two:

Superman 2 - Specter Edition

Superman

The second one is an addendum patch, it goes on top of the first one. Sunman itself it's already on FBN's NES roster.

If they are anything like the Final Fantasy games for the SNES, the Phantasy Star series for the Mega Drive must have an endless list of hacks. These two however seem interesting.



Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom - English re-translation & Bugfix.

Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom - International naming addendum for the above patch.

Today I've seen this hack for R-Type, TurboGrafx-16 version. It's called R-Type Plus.



It tries to create a best-of-both-worlds version by mixing traits of the US and Japanese versions of the game. For this reason I'm not sure if it's worth adding to FBN, because most of those characteristics are available on the Japanese version.

Information and download here.
