A Spectrum classic, and a fantastic conversion of a great arcade game, but slightly redundant today when you can just play the arcade game instead.

A horizontally-scrolling shooter, with bags of power-up weapons, a drone which can be attached to both the front and rear of the ship, and loads of horrible aliens to blast, all in glorious technicolour! Read Review

I did have my doubts about the Spectrum version of R-Type, but Electric Dreams has coped admirably, and the end result is fantastic! Read Review

R-Type is a must for all fans of the shoot-'em-up. Plenty of weapons, lots of nasty aliens and level after level of true arcade action. Read Review

Presentation is highly polished with excellent title and loading screens, plus a multitude of levels for you to blast through. Read Review

It's a classic. Showing its age maybe, but still a classic. Read Review

Possibly the best space shoot-'em-up conversion ever! Read Review

Amazing graphics (with no clash), unbelievably addictive, extremely playable, eight varied levels, a classic of its kind... Read Review

It's a fiendishly addictive and difficult shoot-'em-up with great graphics, loads of colour and the kind of knobs which make it scream 'Hey, I'm absolutely playable - come and have another go!'. Read Review
