It's gotta be alot more interesting then reading another meaningless interview with Kojima or Miyamoto or whatever. It's time for more in depth gaming journalism! I think it be a great to sit around with the various r-type producers/animators and yada yada about shmup history a little. Unfortunately I'm not a freelancer in Tokyo.....but that surely make for a great article or even book.

Well I can dream for now, can't I ?

Btw, cheers for the info guys !

not intending to be a flame with this one. but i was very eager to give this game a try, and when i finally got the chance, i found it nigh-unplayable. rezon is a fricking kitten compared to this. :shock:
Also, D-Hero hardly resembles R-Type in any way - charge shots, force pods, one hit kills, none of the essential elements of the R-Type series are present here. Its easy playable though and certainly the best looking shooter on the Amiga.
The biggest unanswered question is where is the money? [1CCS]

Quite a banger for the Amiga. Even by cross-platform standards, the graphics are impressive.
