I had an interesting opportunity to try out a video game from the nineties, or maybe it is from the eighties. This is R-Type, and perhaps you remember it from the arcade, or from the Sega Genesis, like I do.

What is really interesting was when I downloaded it on the Playstation 3. I thought I was going to have some retro video game fun, and I did. What was really interesting was how my children, ages 10 and 11 wanted to play. They thought it was plain awesome, and it really shows how video games has changed through the generation.

After all, R-Type doesn’t really have any plot. It is just shooting stuff. The graphics are definitely a step up from what they were in its old-school days.

All in all, I have to recommend R-Type Dimensions for both new gamers and old-school ones. You can get it on the PS3 for about $9.99, and check out the official website here.
