Just beat R-Type on the SMS. It's a surprisingly decent port. The sprites are overall much smaller, making it look more like a Gradius game than R-Type. It also affects their hit boxes and makes groups of enemies a bit harder to hit than usual. It also didn't feel like I could shoot as quickly as I would've liked. Flickering is out of control in some parts. The levels and bosses are reproduced faithfully enough to provide the same feeling as the arcade game. It's obviously been outclassed many times over the years, but for its time I'd think this was pretty good.
