Coolest looking ship in an old-skool shooter

Welcome to rumour control, these are the facts:

Anyone who doesn't vote for the R-9 is a massive fucking spaz.

End Trans. Or something.

Agreed.

[bcass]

Would you two geeks mind keeping your Off Topic tom-foolery out of the Retro folder please.

[super_quincy]

oops I`d forgotten the vertical cousin of the R9, the OF-1 Daedulus from Image Fight, also in R-Type Final

[Rocko]

It's blatently the ship out of Hellfire you nutters.

The R9 runs it a close second though.

[X_2_0]

Bah the R9 is just a bath tub with a booster stuck on it.

Vic Viper would toast his ass.

Yeah man. As iconic as the R-9 is, it does look a bit like a big blue knob.

Vic Viper looks like a deadly bladed weapon.

correct.

(in crudely off-colour form for file size reasons at the time)

[taiAtari]

The basic Einhander is very nice too

[Sabreman]

The little fat submarines from Blood Money.

Maybe not...

[Corbo]

I'll go with the Vic Viper....classic ship design and one of my fav games ever!

[Couk]

[Couk]

Wait, no:

[Treble]

Most of these, tbh

Love the ship from Last Resort (very phallic ), love Opa-Opa, love the Vic Viper, one from Ikaruga etc. etc. but, the daddy is:

[layten]

I cannot believe this classic series has not been mentioned:

[spaceyjase]

Most of these, tbh

Treb is disqualified for direct linking Bad guy ships aren't allowed either, 'cos they're teh suck, even though they look like they mean business.

Was Koitsu ever in anything else, other than Parodius?? He had the best power up, where clones of him would dive off the plane and walk around on the floor, bumping into things

[Alex W.]

I say the Vic Viper. Because it has the best weapons, and it's got that transformation sequence in ZOE2. DESTROY THE CORE!

About SEUCK: I had the Amiga version, and I made a brilliant Klingon Warbird from the huge drawing in The Official Star Trek Fact Files. All in less than 100 pixels, IIRC.

My fave is this:

The little ship from Harrier Attack on the Amstrad CPC

I'll never forget the Christmas Eve I was getting my CPC and couldnt sleep, went downstairs to get a drink, find me dad 'testing' the amstrad - playing Harrier Attack of course, so we stayed up for ages playing games, was class

[weekendgamer]

R9 yup ....could be but no

Vic ummmm ....no

Hellfire close

The 3 stage ship from Mooncresta very close

The Truxton ship on Full red power up wins it for me.

[Guest Lord Monty]

The Truxton ship on Full red power up wins it for me.

and me. Though blue power up is badarse as well

[Ikaruga]

What's that from?

Erm....

Ikaruga.

[patters]

R-9... FACT.

ahem.

[Ikaruga]

I think you're all idiots actually.

It's obviously the pig from Parodius...

[gwh]

I was going to say the penguin, but I thought I'd be ridiculed for not knowing the name of it off by heart.

[Suizid]

The little fat submarines from Blood Money.

Maybe not...

Shut your mouth and look at my wad.

[super_quincy]

Shut your mouth and look at my wad.

"where is the money?"

[Suizid]

"where is the money?"

The-The-There's a whole lot more coming. (yeah. yeah.)
