R-Type's intricate graphics and intense gameplay will take you back to
an era when side-scrollers ruled the arcade. The simple task of blasting
bad guys and dodging bullets has inspired many gamers to drop mass
quantities of quarters, and now this experience has been recreated on
Game Boy Color.

R-Type DX contains five different R-Type games, in a virtual museum
of side-scrolling shooters. Players can experience R-Type and R-Type
II in their original black and white Game Boy formats, or play color-
enhanced versions of the time-honored titles. The fifth game, R-Type
DX, combines the first two games into a seamless outer-space assault.

R-Type DX is swarming with enemies and packed full of power-ups. The
action is fast, with formidable bosses lurking at the end of each level. There
is no save feature, but players can continue indefinitely while trying to blast
through the battalions of enemy craft.

The original versions of R-Type and R-Type II are backwards compatible with
the original Game Boy systems, but R-Type DX is only available on Game Boy Color.

This game is a must-bye for any fan of shooter games. Playing R-Type again in color was worth the purchase alone, but to include R-Type II was just unbelieveable. Then combine the two to make R-Type DX was just awesome. I strongly recommend buying this game because it rules.
