I've always loved Leo but I have also always been amused by its development history. The first time I played it I did not know it actually started life as a totally different game before it was handed over to Irem to be turned into an R-Type game but once I found that out everything clicked...that's why Leo doesn't FEEL like an R-Type game in the traditional sense.
Also interesting it's the only game locked to arcades outside of one Win 10 release that crashes like clock work

One time I watched Slowbeef play Leo in its entirety without realizing he had a charge attack

That's kind of hilarious, actually. I've long been partial to LEO for a few reasons:PerishedFraud ឵឵ wrote:One time I watched Slowbeef play Leo in its entirety without realizing he had a charge attack
- Not as punishing as other R-Type games
- Amazing 90's chiptune dance soundtrack
- Very colorful look
- Cool weapons
- Separates itself from the rest of the series with the new mechanics, but still manages to somehow still work as R-Type

The boss theme is fucking groovy. Even got a remix in final 2, though its meh.FRO wrote:Spoiler

Given how many Irem titles we've seen via Arcade Archives, I hope we'll eventually get LEO, so it will finally have a proper release.
