Honestly, Hellfire and R Type for me. I only literally recently discovered R Type (or rather should I say, gave it a chance) by getting it for my Turbografx, but good god DAMN. I have played almost every Gradius except Salamander, and while I think Gradius' are great objectively, I never want to play them anymore because I played the ever living fuck out of them as a child and they are all so similar to me. I now see why R Type was and is SO highly regarded. Its fucking enTRANCED me. I LOVE this fucking game. Its my understanding the Turbo version is very close to arcade perfect, is this true? Was there any more perfect port on say the saturn?
Hellfire was another recent dicscovery but like a few years ago on the Genesis and I really dig that game. But holy fuck, R Type...
