Together Retro 2016 Calendar - FINAL

I'm trying to get a copy of R-Type for next month. I'm having difficulty deciding which version to get. Anyone got any thoguhts they can add?

Master System - Less arcade perfect, but a pretty good conversion for an 8 bit console. Will work with my FM sound adapter I bought, which is awesome. Cheapest of my 3 options, should cost about £10-15 at most.

Turbografx - Very accurate to the arcade from my understanding. Pretty hard to come by for a good price, typically seems to go for about £25-30ish if we're looking at reasonable Buy It Nows and auctions.

PC Engine CD - Has cutscenes (which aren't anythign special apparently) and a slightly odd remixed soundtrack, but it's the only way to get the full game on PC Engine, as the game is on 2 HuCards in Japan. About £35 overall, so pretty pricy.


I'm leaning towards SMS unless I can get a good price on the TG16 or PCE versions. Any thoughts?

The SMS version has some pretty bad sprite flicker. I've died a few times because I could not see a bullet about to hit me.

personally I think that SMS is the coolest of the 3 consoles you listed. But if you're gonna go NEC, I'd go all-in and get the CD version.

I'll be playing the Amiga port myself. It was made freeware by the developers.

Rtype huh? I might have to turn on the cab downstairs and give it a go.

there's a free fan remake thing on PC that a few guys here have suggested.

I picked it up on 3DO a few months back.

The free Ur Quan Masters for PC is based off the 3DO version of SC2.
