Looking forward to this one Seb! R-Type is in my all time top 5. I had it on the speccy, commy, game boy, master system and ps1. (And now have the ROM on every system I can emulate, as you do!) Nice one brother!

Great story, and you clearly did a lot of research to nail this so well. Thanks for all the videos!

I just figured out there was ZX Spectrum conversion of R-Type, but not of Katakis.

Need to weigh in on the commy/commie thing. I'm from Dagenham and we you used to call the C64 a Commy to a man! You Had your Speccy and your Commy. Don't Worry Steve you ain;t a mentalist, Loads of people were calling it a commie! I Hope this helped.

Looking forward to the usual fawning and gushing over R-Type lol. Tbf considering the limitations of the computer it is a cracking port of a rock hard game whatever system you played it on.

SEB! This has just come up in the comments. Apparently commy or commie if you will, is not a universal nickname for the C64. Did your group of mates call it a commy or is it just my very localised group? Well there's interesting. What you saying? If you've got a second please give me a quick reply😁

Hello Everyone! It's been awhile!
I have finally finished the Bob Pape R-Type story, and I'm excited to share it with you all this Thursday at 6pm.
The story has erm.... everything! Tax evasion, Fraud squad, everyone trying to sue poor old Bob, 16 hour working days, not getting paid, blackmail attempts and so much more.
The ZX Spectrum version of R-type is explained, how on earth did Bob manage it but also we look at the Commodore 64 version and how the creators were practically held hostage by Activision before they turned to someone they had already warned with legal action to make the game (you couldn't make it up!)
Happy hump day everyone, looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
Cheers
Seb x
