Pixel 6 phone, and I pretty much just picked it up and pointed it :)

Religion has certain self-reinforcing properties. Kind of like genes that make it more likely to propagate against other forms of information.

• Believing without question is better than questioning
• Not believing will be punished
• Virtue will be rewarded
• Spreading the belief is a virtue
• You should obey your parents

Combine that with young human brains being malleable, and religion tends to continue against all odds.

Clowns who think like this need to fuck all the way off… and, honestly, it’s up to older folk like me to make that clear. Younger folks are going to be fooled or scared into thinking like this and be unable or unwilling to speak up. We who have less pressing concerns need to have their backs.

Yeah, I believe there was an MSDOS port, I just didn’t have the set up to play it. From YouTube, it looks similar to the Amiga version.

Hah! I seem to remember that R-Type DX on the Color was really good, wasn’t it?

I mean, the arcade is clearly the best version… (if you’re talking the original game).

For the ports… the Spectrum is great for sheer chutzpah, but the PC Engine port is probably the most faithful of all the versions that weren’t running an emulator. The Sega Mastersystem is also extremely good, on much less powerful hardware.

Also, the coders who ported these games often wouldn’t have access to the arcade cabinets at all, other than some hastily recorded VHS footage. So getting a port that actually felt like the original was a rare treat. Most of the time the ports felt like they were inspired by the source material more than anything.
