Irem's classic shooter R-Type is becoming an anime short. Check out the stunning work-in-progress video here...
Well, this is fabulous. If you're old enough to remember Irem's classic 1987 shooter R-Type, you'll probably also recall that it had some of the coolest monster and ship designs of its era. The huge, Giger-esque beasts that greated the player at the end of levels one and two are difficult to shake. And then there was stage three, which was basically one huge boss battle.
Anyway, animator Paul Johnson clearly has a lingering affection for R-Type, since he's making a stunning anime-style tribute to Irem's most famous shooter. You might also recall that Johnson was also behind the magnificent Star Wars anime, which he uploaded last year.
Johnson calls the below a work in progress. If this is the case, we really can't wait to see what the finished film looks like.
