A normal shot will only kill one enemy.MiscellaneousLICENSOR: IremScarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Very Common - There are 61 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 20 of them are original dedicated machines, it is a conversion in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 40 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.Of the 52,046 video games (3,349 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 39 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records. Wanted - There are 4 VAPS members currently looking for this game. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalStrange, that while the PCB for R-Type says JAMMA on it, it is not a game that can be simply swapped with another JAMMA board. This game has no -5V pinout on the edge connector, nor does it have the test and tilt pinouts of a true JAMMA connector. Also, nowhere in the manual is the word JAMMA mentioned.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the R-Type Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Nintendo.
