Why "R·Type" instead of "R-Type", SeizureDog? I believe the dot is a characteristic of the R-Type font and not the title of the game. Irem's webpage, the japanese R-Type pages, Irem's promotional flyers and the box cover for "R-Type Tactics" also use the hyphen. Does anyone agree that it should be changed back?
I'm not questioning the sources or anything, but is there an explanation given for the time travelling beyond "another dimension"? Dr. Lobotomy 03:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

The videogame developer Factor 5 has on their website three amiga games to download, one of which being R-type. If the company did not have the legal right to put it up for download it would not be on the site. Atirage 04:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
My question is of similar grounds... so I will put it here. the 'List of commercial games released as freeware' page has R-Type (1, presumably) listed... yet there is no mention of it in this article... I think one of the two articles should be modified to reflect what the situation is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.173.174.184 ( talk) 00:30, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
I forget the magazine who gave the award (might have been C&VG) but Karl Jeffrey's conversion to the Atari ST was rated the best arcade conversion of the year, 1989 I think and was widely critiqued as one of the best conversions ever made. I can't fully remember the exact details of the award but Karl had a nice shiny plaque up on his office wall in Fareham when I worked for Images Software in 1990. I also remember Games Machine magazine asking me about it when they interviewed me that year. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 149.8.248.2 ( talk) 13:51, 30 January 2007 (UTC).
Actually, R-Type went out also on NEC PC-88VA computer. That's pretty rare japanese computer, but it's worth noting. You can use image search in google to find some posters or cover art for a proof, or simply watch some video with gameplay on youtube. Moroz1999 ( talk) 18:07, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Bob Pape's book [1] is an interesting source of information on the Spectrum/ST/C64 conversions. 2fort5r ( talk) 20:01, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
