About
That long-imagined IF has finally become reality.
Fight straight through from the First Bydo Mission to the Second Bydo Mission
in “Ultimate Challenge,” the series-spanning ultimate mission.
In Music Encore, relive this legendary IF with brand-new soundtracks
that can be enjoyed exclusively in this mode!
“Ultimate Challenge” features its first-ever full soundtrack.
Even scenes that originally shared music have been given
dedicated tracks faithful to the arcade experience,
allowing every stage to be played with the same musical structure
as the original arcade version.
The music is composed by WASi303,
a specialist in retro game sound.
By harnessing authentic sound chips from portable hardware,
he delivers an experience that preserves the original feel of the era
while offering something fresh and new.
* When starting from the title screen in Classic mode,
R-TYPE and R-TYPE II can be played in either monochrome or color,
selectable within the game.
In the year 220X, humanity witnessed true darkness!!
The first encounter with extraterrestrial life to be recorded in cosmic history.
Space Era 220X—
In an alternate dimension hundreds of light-years away lies the Bydo Empire.
What humanity saw there were alien beings overflowing with hatred and bloodlust.
Survival or extinction—humanity’s fate hung in the balance as the battle began, armed with the ultimate weapon: the Force!
Once again, the terrifying Bydo return—their counterattack has begun!
The malevolent Bydo Empire, a force that annihilates everything in its path within an alternate dimension,
was believed to have been eradicated by the “R-9” fleet humanity dispatched.
But it survived.
It had fled to another dimension, regaining its strength in secret.
Now, the Bydo Empire, seething with hatred, has torn through the dimensional barrier to strike at humanity once more.
In response, mankind has deployed the enhanced “R-9” craft—together with the ultimate weapon, the Force…

An ultimate mission that lets you fight straight through
from the First Bydo Mission (R-TYPE) to the Second Bydo Mission (R-TYPE II).
In addition to the standard score,
detailed performance data such as hit rate and number of continues are also recorded.
How few mistakes can you make to clear the challenge?
Player-Friendly Support Features
Beginner-friendly features such as Rewind, quick save & load, and full power-up start are included, and rapid-fire shots are available.
In addition, as a feature unique to Music Encore, “Encore Track” is implemented, displaying the titles of newly arranged tracks based on the arcade versions.
Packed with Extra Content

You can also take on various missions through the achievement system and unlock your accomplishments.
R-TYPE DX is a title that brought together
the arcade-hit side-scrolling shooters R-TYPE and R-TYPE II,

which allows players to fight through both titles in one continuous run,
it offered a unique way to experience the series.
In this remastered release,
R-TYPE DX: Music Encore,
new “what-if” sounds that did not exist at the time have been added,
along with modern support features,
delivering a deeper and more refined gameplay experience.

[h1]★R-TYPE DXとは[/h1] 1999年にゲームボーイカラーで発売されたR-TYPEとR-TYPEIIのカップリング移植。 無茶移植だが、ちゃんと遊べる出来となっている。 ・カラー版とモノクロ版を収録 ・1周END(2周目なし) ・R-TYPEではステージ4~5、R-TYPEIIではステージ4がカット ・ステージBGMが2曲のみで使い回しが目立つ [h1]★ゲーム内容[/h1] 上述のR-TYPE DXにアーケード版準拠のBGM追加、便利機能を搭載したバージョンアップ版。 アーケード版は高難易度だが、今作はマイルド。 STG初心者でも楽しめる出来となっているので安心してほしい! ■Music Encore 全11ステージをアーケード版と同じ楽曲構成でプレイ出来る新モード。 それ以外はR-TYPE DXとほぼ同じ。 26年も経って移植するなら、カットされたステージ3つも入れて欲しかった・・・(容量の問題もないんだから) 特にR-TYPEIIの難関ボス、ライオスとの激闘がないのが本当に残念! ■CLASSIC ゲームボーイカラー版 R-TYPE DX、ゲームボーイ版 R-TYPEとR-TYPEIIの3本を収録。 ■HYPER DRIVE Music Encoreを倍速でプレイするだけのモード。 ■EXTRA 当時のパッケージや説明書などを鑑賞出来るギャラリーモード。 任天堂に関する画像や文字(ゲームボーイのロゴ等)は全て白塗り、黒塗りで修正されている。 余りにも修正数が多すぎて萎えた・・・。はっきり言って資料的価値は余りない。 ■便利機能 巻き戻し、クイックセーブ&ロード、フルパワーアップスタートなど。 各モード毎にセーブデータは12個まで作れる。 セーブロード時に確認メッセージが出ないのは好印象。 [h1]★動画[/h1] R-TYPE DX: Music Encoreのプレイ動画を貼っておきます https://youtu.be/Aw7ZI60eKL0 [h1]★良かった![/h1] ・ゲーム起動した瞬間にタイトル画面 ・アーケード版準拠のBGM追加(アーケード版と同じ楽曲構成) ・便利機能 [h1]★気になった・・・[/h1] ・自機の当たり判定がデカい!(特に地形に当たりやすい) ・カットされたステージの復活なし ・パッケージや説明書が白塗り、黒塗りだらけ [h1]★総評[/h1] R-TYPE DXに新規BGMを追加して今風に遊びやすくした移植。 オリジナル版でカットされたBGMを全部収録してくれたのは嬉しい! 残念だったのはカットされた3ステージはそのまま、ギャラリーの白塗り黒塗りが目立つ事。 余談だが、R-TYPEは横STG御三家の1つである(グラディウス、ダライアス、R-TYPE)
ちゃんとしたレビューはのちほど 画面に出ているボタン配置の記載が間違っているようです。 巻き戻しは「RT」ではなく「LT」になっております。 また、実績解除が上手に機能していないようで、初代R-TYPEの方の対地レーザー等を取得しても実績解除がされない状態です。 今後、修正される事を期待しております。
●良い所 DX準拠なのでモノクロ版も遊べる ●悪い所 追加された音楽は微妙(モノクロの思い出補正かもしれないが…) ●どうでもいいこと 昔新品をワゴンセールで買った時とほぼ同価格
難易度は緩和されてるのでR-TYPE入門用に最適ですが これより安いDimensions EX買ったほうがいいと思いますんでコレクター向けのオススメ DX版は未プレイですが、できれば元々なかったR-TYPE IIの4面が欲しかったですねえ
Edit: Both problems I had with the game have now been fixed, so now it's truly peak. I have a few small problems with the game, but they didn't affect my overall enjoyment of it. First, the achievements. Several of them don't unlock, the ones related to picking up items and killing the stage 1 unique enemy in R-Type 1. The in-game achievements unlock perfectly fine though, it's just the communication to Steam that's having issues. Second, the controls listed are incorrect. It says RB/R1 for Select and RT/R2 for Rewind, but it's LB/L1 and LT/L2 respectively. Other than that, absolutely phenomenal game, it's exactly what I wanted it to be, the music rocks and WASi303 did an amazing job with the Music Encore soundtrack. Water Splash my beloved <3 Takes about 40 min to clear all stages, I did two go arounds and had a ton of fun with it. Thanks, CITY CONNECTION.
アールタイプの初プレイがモノクロGB版だったので懐かしくなって購入 GBの移植版としての完成度は素晴らしいと思う GB版のモノクロアールタイプ1と2とカラーのDX収録されていて 新要素として1と2をアレンジ曲で通しプレイするモードが搭載 GB版にはなかった曲が追加され既存曲もすべて新アレンジで遊べます プレイした感想 元のGB版が忠実に再現されていて良く出来ています 画面はGBオリジナルの画面比率とワイドとフルスクリーンが選択可能 フィルター処理はボカシとスキャンラインとRGBの3種類を任意にオンオフ可能 スキャンラインは横方向にスキャンラインが入り RGBは縦方向にスキャンラインが入ります 両方オンにすると格子状にスキャンラインが入りGBのドット液晶の様になります ボカシ処理はくっきりしたドットを滑らかに表示 それに加えて残像のオンオフが出来るのでGBのような表示も一応可能です 自分はスクリーンをオリジナルにしてボカシ処理のみオンにしています そうすると粗いドットが滑らかになり奇麗に表示できます ワイド画面やスキャンラインは比率やスキャンライン濃度が固定な為 納得のいく表示にできなかった為切っています 残念な点 目玉のアレンジ曲が微妙、、、 ※あくまで個人的な感想です 元のGB版と比べるとアーケードにも寄せようとしたのか 音が全体的に尖っており聞いてて疲れるアレンジになっているのがマイナス GB版に比べて全体的に騒がしく落ち着かない感じがします 元のGB音源のまま追加曲もシンプルにアレンジして欲しかったと思う そもそもGB版のゲームなので雰囲気は元のままにして欲しかったと思う 従来のGB版の音色が印象的で好きだったのでちょっと期待外れでした 新モードは元のGB版の曲も同様のアレンジが施されており 遊ぶ分には音の統一感は取られてます
"Eu amo R-Type, mas eu queria a pior forma de jogar esse jogo." Não se preocupe porque CITY CONNECTION veio salvar o dia de novo!
Jogo bem legalzinho para os fãs de r-type. Ele junta as o 1 e o 2 numa sequência como se fossem um jogo só. Tem recurso de rebobinar, e é possível salvar em qq parte do jogo, então isso facilita bastante. Não usei o recurso de rebobinar, mas salvei sempre que passava de fase, e ia salvando em locais estratégicos, assim ficou bem fácil conseguir as conquistas de pontuação que em tese seriam as mais difíceis. Senti um pouco de queda de fps jogando no steam deck, mas nada que atrapalhasse a gameplay. Só em alguns pontos que achei o hitbox do jogo zoado, que eu morria sem ser atingido. Mas no geral eu gostei. Mesmo que tenha sido uma platina em cerca de 1h.e pouco, achei que valeu. Mas sou suspeito pq sempre gostei de r-type, desde o master system.
Neat emulated port of R-Type DX from the Gameboy Color, complete with a mode that contains newly arranged music from the arcade version. Everything from the original R-Type DX is here and accounted for, and everything you expect from an emulated port is here, including save states and rewinding. The emulation quality feels solid and the interface is good. The rearranged music is a banger. If you are an avid R-Type fan, you'll like this release.
A solid release and update of R-Type DX, great to see these games revived on Steam. There's actually a bunch of titles here: R-Type DX itself has both R-Type I and II original Game Boy and Game Boy Color versions, along with the "Ultimate Challenge" mode of both games played back-to-back. The Music Encore version (and Hyperdrive speed mode) is the UItimate Challenge mode with enhanced music and Missions (read: achievements). So, you're basically getting three versions of two games apiece, plus the Souza level creator, which is a pretty good deal if you enjoyed the original games when they first released, or are keen to experience R-Type on older platforms. The emulation is solid, the extras are neat to see (even if they had to blank out some parts of it for copyright reasons), and the Music Encore OST is an excellent upgrade of the original Game Boy OST, with some extras thrown in that weren't a part of the first release. It's not quite M2 quality, but that's a very high bar (it would be cool to have more options for background art or sidebars containing stage/item/enemy/boss information like in the Darius collections) and this collection certainly is no worse for missing those indulgences. This collection is definitely worth it if you're an R-Type fan and/or enjoy old-school shmups, and this is currently the best way to experience these titles.
