Title: R-Type II Arcade Cabinet
Post by: HaRuMaN on October 01, 2013, 11:16:57 am

Was there ever a dedicated cabinet?  Were they just conversions?  Anyone have pics?

The owners manual (http://www.gamesdbase.com/Media/SYSTEM/Arcade//Manual/formated/R-Type_II_-_1989_-_Irem.pdf (http://www.gamesdbase.com/Media/SYSTEM/Arcade//Manual/formated/R-Type_II_-_1989_-_Irem.pdf) ) only mentions it coming as a Jamma based kit  - so I don't think there was a specific cab design for it.

KLOV only offers up the original R-Type cabinet image... ...looks pretty generic.

Was R-Type II it's own game?  I'm confused because my experience with R-Type was on the TG-16.  The PC-Engine version was split into 2 separate hu-cards, labeled R-Type 1 and R-Type 2.
The first had levels 1-4, the latter had 5-8.  They combined them into one whole game for the TG-16, resulting in all 8 levels.  This is a completely different thing though, right?
