-'''''R-Type''''' is a horizontal shmup developed and published by [[Irem]] in 1987. Alongside ''[[Gradius]]'', ''R-Type'' has a legacy as one of the earliest and most popular examples of a shmup, helping pave the way for the genre today. ''R-Type'' takes place in the 22nd Century, and puts the player in the seat of the R-9 Arrow Head as they fight against the [[Bydo]], a race of hybrid machine aliens. It is well-known for its punishing difficulty which relies heavily on routing and memorization, and for its distinct visual style and enemy design, with many of the more organic creatures bordering on the edge of terrifying.

 The R-9 fighters eventually reach the Bydo Empire's home star and destroy their core, but at the cost of huge causalities. Several R-9 fighters are captured by the Bydo (as shown in the event of ''[[R-Type II]]'').

 Bit devices are fixed in place, the first one above your ship, the second below. They are invincible, block bullets, and damage enemies on contact. They will move through walls allowing you to hit enemies on the other side.
 The bits will move with a very slight delay, so their position relative to your ship will be different when you move, and they will take a few frames to "catch-up" to their standard position when you stop.
