R-Type - video game produced by Irem
 

R-Type is a side-scrolling shoot-em-up video game produced by Irem in 1987. A sequel of sorts, Super R-Type, was released for the Super Nintendo video game system.

On the Usenet newsgroup alt.games.mame, there is a running gag involving R-Type. Whenever someone asks for help identifying a game, and provides an inadequate description, one of the answers is always "R-Type".
