anyone has a decent rip of this video? I think on youtube is a 1 credit run but is it this video?

Is this just a promotional video or is it showing a perfect run of R-TYPE ?

listed under VIDEO

Yep, would love to see it too. Digital preservation of perfect run footage now! Those VHS tapes rot very fast. We're counting on you Sven

Torrent, Megaupload?

Something tells me this is not going to happen.

I have a VHS of a Darius 2 superplay. Its infinitely more awesome obviously.

Why? R-Type is a much more difficult game than Darius 2.

Why not? One can ask right? You never know, there are nice people out there who like to share and since it's a VHS tape, a digital copy will be necessary sooner or later anyway

I just started playing R-Type. A DVDR copy of a perfect run would be excellent if you can make that happen...

Sven said that it isn't really a perfect run... just a collage of the 1 credit run. Runtime is around 20min

Sounds like an edited perfect run that concentrates on the most difficult parts. Still a perfect run in my book.
20 minutes? Shouldn't take too long to encode then

Even better, send me a copy, and I'll put it on Rapidshare/Megaupload/Sendspace so everyone can get it easily!

R-Type perfect run is easy to achieve with practice.

dead end is at stage 7... if you die once you won't have a chance imo.

Not impossible. I've gotten past the checkpoint after dying, during a 1CC, before.

Care to show us your perfect run-through yojo?

perfect run in R-TYPE means completing the 2 loops right? Does R-TYPE stop after 2 loops?

I'd like to see someone getting past Lvl 11 boss (= lvl5 loop2) in video. Definitely.
