In R-Type for Nintendo's Game Boy, you are captain of the R-Type, a<br>spaceship equipped with a laser cannon, which can be fully charged by holding in the B<br>button. Moving from left to right while shooting everything in sight, you must protect<br>Earth from extraterrestrial mutants from the BYDO Empire, which is lead by El<br>Supremo and his five warlords.<br><br>R-Type will take you through six stages, each ruled by a boss. Pods, which you can<br>gain by destroying POW Shuttles, can be used to spread fire in front of you or behind you,<br>or they can be used as shields.
