To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Woah, now this is a nice remake 😲 

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1442820/RType_Final_2/

For the first time in nearly two decades, you can experience R-Type Final 2, now on PC! Feel the rush of mowing down hordes of Bydo with your fleet of R-Type fighters equipped with an arsenal of new and classic wave cannons, force units, bit devices, and devastating delta weapons. The Bydo threat is always evolving, as new enemies spawn from the wreckage of fallen foes, and stages are corrupted and altered by the sentient Bydo corruption. R-Type Final 2 unites the explosive action of the original games with modernized visuals and gameplay features, making this a must-have title for new and old shoot-'em-up fans alike.

Enhanced and Evolved
R-Type is back and better than ever! Experience the explosive return of the legendary shoot-'em-up on PC, where the high-octane action of the original games meets contemporary visuals, challenging gameplay, and an arsenal of new features.evolving enemies, stages that transform before you, and a real-time difficulty meter increases or decreases based on your performance.

Reading over the crowdfunding page are really trying to make something special, doesn't seem to be a remake but more of a re-imagine of R-Type games.... I see in some of the stretch goals they will remake original R-Type game levels from all of the different R-Type games. Will be interesting to see how this comes out in the end and congrats on them for supporting all platforms 🙂

There are loads of Defender clones out there. It's even more iconic than R-Type. Oblivion, on the Amiga, was always my favorite as it was really close to the proper Arcade version and fast as hell to play too. These days I'd be lucky to get past wave 1. 🤣
