I think R Type like games always live and die on how playable they are after you lose a life. They need to be fair on powering you up again and not putting you too far back in a level, or you never feel like you're progressing.
Agreed. I think Last Resort does this well. You're not put too far back and there is ALWAYS a pickup after spawn. Keep in mind, the game's role is to keep you pumping money into it, so the progression has to be balanced with that from a business perspective.

Neo Geo games are always an event. Not big on shooters but I have a soft spot for the Metal Slug series.
I'm not big into Neo Geo but there was a period on the 90s, where we'd find ourselves playing on them in the arcade without even realising.
This is a fun looking game but is it just me or do the Metal Slug art style and fraphics really stand out in comparison to this game?
looks good, reminds me of R-Type.
It's a very good R-Type clone.
You should try Blazing Star for the Neo Geo
Nice. And you should try Park patrol for the zx spectrum. 😉
