  Free !
  Awesome !!

  I paid for this just the other day, but for free, how can you say no?

  BUT, it just doesn't work on the phone.
  I mean, it works of course but the thumbs on the screen just kills it.

  But , but, I've ordered an usb-OTG cable to get my PS3 conroller hooked up on the Z1 just for this game.
  can't wait!

  One of the best games from the 80's ?
  Gawd i'm old

  Want Slap Fight too please :D

    Can't you just use the Bluetooth to link the Dualshock to the phone? That's what I do with my android tablet.

      birnie on 12/09/2014 - 22:31

      That's the plan. You need a direct cable link 1st to register, then you can bluetooth. Hence the otg cable…just waiting out the typical weeks delivery for cheap os electronics…

    The OP's link is free until the (pointless) appstore app opens. $2.06 to buy. Your AU link: $2.06

    Used coins to buy Plague Inc last week, only to find its a free game (on Google Play). Two copies on my phone. No difference.

      Utopian on 13/09/2014 - 19:50

      Now the OP linked page says $1.90

      This deal hasn't worked in any way for me today. What's going on.

        Don't worry yourself!

        The Gameboid emulator runs well on most Android phones. R-Type The Third Lightning is a tiny file too…

        Or if there's a PS1 emulator for Android (I dunno) you can get R-Type Delta which is even better!

        Amiga emu for R-Type 1 and 2…

        I have them all, but only GB version on my phone.

  Got this as part of the Atari ST Power Pack. Could never finish it. Anyone remember Space Harrier? I would think this would work well on touch screens.

    Yes, the almost unplayable Space Harrier 1 & 2 from our friends at Sega. I had it on Amiga.

    Even better from Sega: Gunvalkyrie.
    But only on betamax xbox.

  Good but hard game.

  My favorite was of the series was R-Type 3 for the Snes.

    Utopian on 13/09/2014 - 08:20

    A mate had it on Megadrive/Genesis. I'd visit plenty, even if he wasn't home (but mum/dad was).
    "Come-in…Not sure when he's home. You can wait in his room, if you want. Help yourself"

    I guess you could say I was addicted LOL

    Ahh, the 80's. It's a different world now. Story looks like milf, stalking, theft concerns, weird behaviour.

      Speckled Jim on 14/09/2014 - 19:46

      lol ain't that the truth!

      80s: sex, drugs & rock 'n roll

      Today: noobs, boobs & terror

    Terrible game, just fired it up, nothing like the original Contra games… Uninstalling.

  FabMan on 13/09/2014 - 12:57

  This R-Type isn't that good, same great game play but it lags. Considering the original hardware that played the game my phone is a super computer by comparison, so no excuse for any lag.

  Problem using touch controls when enemies come from both directions and your hand covers the rear.

  Finally why does a game require so many of the phones features to run?

  Amazon actually gave me a dollar credit for downloading this!

  One thing I may never understand is why a game that used to fit on a fraction of a 320kb floppy is 20mb

  R-Type is abandonware on many platforms (Amiga, SNES, GB etc).
  So it's already free.

  Maybe this one's prettier?
