R-Type III: The Third Lightning

The evil Bydo Empire returns in this installment of the R-Type series. Get into the newest R-Type ship, the R-90, and race through six side-scrolling levels to destroy the Bydo mothership. The gameplay is still the classic R-Type way with huge levels and bosses. You can fire in front or behind your ship with your detachable laser unit. In R-Type III, there are now three different types of laser units that you can select at the beginning of the game. Each one offers different laser types, depending on the power-ups you've collected.
