R-Type Dimensions EX is a collection of two games. It includes the original R-Type and its sequel. Both games are horizontal scrolling shooters, originally released in arcades in the late 1980s. The re-release features 3D graphics and a remastered soundtrack. The developers have also added local co-op, allowing two players to play on the same computer, though gamepads are required. You can disable 3D to play with the standard visual style and original soundtrack. You can switch between the old and new graphics at any time. R-Type Dimensions EX has 14 levels, each with a boss at the end.
