R-Type Final

I never said that word aloud, nor am I about to start. There's no excuse for that type of nonsense.

it is an abbreviation... so yea it is not ment to be said aloud... Then again neither is Net or SNES....

Man I need to get paid now! This will be mine next Friday (if I can wait that long).

The Dark Mastercard tempts me so....

Played for a good long while last night. The boss of the 4th stage is the devil, I know what I need to do, but those bulb things are so damn random.

Oh my. Wait till you hit boss #5.

For #4, set your speed to max and just dodge like hell. The more body parts you can kill the less it can shoot at you, though you really only need to kill the central brain to win. The tentacle force is pretty good at wailing on it remotely when detached.

What ships do you guys favor? I go with the Andromulius (SP?) because the auto seeking force pod can be such a help. Another one that I have been using is the Tear Shower, its Vulcan wave cannon seems to be head & shoulders above the others in terms of strength, Two of its fully charged shots will take out the first form of the 4th boss.

I just use whatever ship I need flight time with to unlock other ships. There is a very good ship unlocking FAQ at GameFAQs that lets you know which ships you have to use to unlock others. I'm currently logging an hour a half into the TX-T.

The import version had an invincibility code that let you fly through the stage without playing, thus logging easy flight time. Eidos seems to have removed that from the whitey version, for better or worse. Some of the later ships have stupid-high flight time requirements ... several or more hours. Consider that my R-Type Delta save file only has 15 hours logged, and I love that game ...

Why they should never leave me to my own devices at work- R-Type Final in the demo machine.

Amen brotha!

I played that game at work today for over 5 hours (I worked 13 hours though. Which sucked.). I think I have 30 or so ships unlocked now.

One is a cute little helicopter that shoots fireworks.

I'm buying this game on my lunch break tomorrow... officially making it the first game since Viewtiful Joe that is worth my money.

[PKBMax]

Picked it up last night, and it's damn good.

Does anyone know what the deal is with "Auto Save"?

When I saved the first time it said something like "Auto save is now enabled." So I figured everything was ok, and later turned it off losing 2 hours of play.

Is there a way to turn on Auto Save or does it have to be done manually?

[James]

The instructions tell you to save manually before leaving. I didn't notice any auto-save comment on my game, and I think I'll just use sheer paranoia to avoid losing any unlocked ships at this point. Not that I've been able to play much yet. -sigh-

For anyone who dosen't own it, Agetec is selling R-Type Delta on their website for ps one for only 29.99... sure beats the 40 dollar prices on Ebay for it.
