Hi there retro game fans!
My funny ARCADE "lets play" series '3 COINS' continues season 3 with maybe the most famous arcade shooter of all time!...
R-TYPE (1987)
Simple idea really, with only 3 Coins (or credits), how far into the game will I get? To the first boss? Actually get PAST the first boss maybe?... Well, there is only one way to find out, time to fire up the arcade stick!
Famously hard, R-Type was one of the most recognisable games in the arcade, beautiful graphics, awesome power-ups, epic music and a COIN MUNCHER!
I never saw anyone get further than the second boss in real life, and they spent a fair bit of cash to get there!
And the ICONIC 'charge up' shot that even your most basic pea shooter weapon is capable of.
Why retro gaming 
I have this crazy arcade stick with mad games built into it (it's a Pandora's box 5) and it is soooo much fun! I am going to play a different game each episode with only a 3 coin/credit limit.
I love playing old games but my skills are rusty, so join me as I relive my youth and try to claw back some of my arcade finesse in my 'lets play' series 3 Coins.
I need your help!
Which games can you remember playing in the arcades? And are there any you wanna see me play this season?
Seriously, hit me up in the comments with suggestions, there are far too many to choose from! =)
Peace and LOVE to you all, thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed the second episode of season 3, of 3 Coins!
Hope you enjoy this funny gameplay footage and have a lovely day! =)
