My current personal best in Irem's R-Type.
I wanted to score as much as I could in this run, and some of the quirkier tactics I use are geared toward this end--e.g., I take all the speed items, sacrifice my spare lives in order to replay the most lucrative scoring stretch of the game (the latter half of 1-7), and let certain bosses hang around so I can kill more of their destructible parts or accompanying goons.
