Nah, it was '97 when the N64 came out over here.
I had the Atari ST version briefly and for some reason they'd made changes to some of the level layouts, proportions and enemy positions. Even though that's quite a small thing, it made a difference and it wasn't as good. I assume the Amiga version would've been the same.Tempy wrote:@davyK genuinely curious - how was R-Types 'proper r-type at home' as opposed to the Amiga releases, which were amazing?

The attention to detail was often lacking in home computer conversions back then. Of course, there was the PC Engine version before that, which was a perfect reproduction as far as I could tell.Tempy wrote:@davyK genuinely curious - how was R-Types 'proper r-type at home' as opposed to the Amiga releases, which were amazing?

My chipped PlayStation allowed me to play Thrill Kill. It was a really interesting idea, even if the game itself wasn't that great.
