Got this RTYPE IREM M72 board for repair from my friend Andrea, one of my favourite “Shoot’Em Up” ever!

Irem R-Type! WooooooooooooW !!

It’s a side scrolling shoot-em-up arcade game produced by Irem in 1987. The player controls a space fighter named the R-9 to defend humanity against a mysterious powerful alien life-form known as the “Bydo”.
