R-Type Stage 7...
Is it even possible to get past the checkpoint if you die? I'm playing the PS R-Types version, and I had to restart the level because it was hopeless. I couldn't get back to the checkpoint, but I see how it could be possible to.

There's a thread about Stage 7 in the strategy section.
As big an R-Type fan as I am, I'm a little embarassed to admit I've never quite made it when restarting from the checkpoint. The stage isn't too tough to clear coming in fully-powered, but if you screw up and die in the second half, watch out. It's actually unusual for the R-Type series; recovering from the checkpoints in every other R-Type game is often difficult, but this is the only one that feel unreasonable to me. I'm sure it's possible, just like it's possible to recover from a death in arcade Gradius III, but you have to know your stuff and be pretty damn good to boot.
