MrThunderwing | Mega R-Type Demo: playthrough and commentary @MrThunderwing | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Updated! The demo is now live, you can download it here: theroboz.itch.io/mega-r-type

So, I was fortunate enough to get sent a copy of the new work-in-progress fan made R-Type port for the Megadrive/Genesis. As someone that owned a Megadrive as a teenager (still owns it in fact) and who's a massive R-Type fan, it pleases me no end to see this legendary shooter looking so good on Sega's awesome 16 bit console.
