R-Type Delta for the PS3 and PSP via PlayStation Store

The Japanese portal of Sony's PlayStation Store, recently brought a total number of 31 available PSone games to download for your PS3 and PSP, for the old-school gamer that lies inside you. R-Type Delta (or with the triangle symbol thingy, as written on the game's cover), is a horizontally scrolling shooter video game. The game was released only on the first PlayStation platform, as the fourth game in the R-Type series (hence Delta, the fourth letter of the Greek Alphabet) and also as the first game offering different fighters, with different Force and Wave Cannon combinations for the player to choose from. This title is also the first in the R-Type series rendered in full 3D graphics.

The new fighters in R-Type Delta are practically what the game is all about so here's what you're in for if you decide to run it on your highly advanced PS3:
-R-9A Delta: An improved version of the original R9 fighter which uses the Standard Force and the Shock Wave Cannon, renamed the Diffusion Wave Cannon in R-Type Final. The R9A's Dose Attack is the Nuclear Catastrophe;
-R-X Albatross: A violet-canopied fighter with prominent wings that uses the Tentacle Force (two extendable tentacles on either side, equipped with powerful beam weapons); the tentacles respond to the movement of the player, which allows the intensity or direction of beams to be controlled; its Dose Attack is the Negative Corridor, opening up a hole, distorting the screen, having a black hole to "suck-up" any enemy it pulls by its grip alone;
-R-13 Cerberus: A squat black-and-red fighter who uses the Anchor Force, which is linked to the ship by an energy ribbon; he is also fitted with the Lightning Wave Cannon, which emits a fast electrical discharge that home in on enemies and his Dose Attack is the Hysteric Dawn, which opens up a dimensional rift.

Each release you'll find amongst those 31 on Japan's PlayStation Store is priced at 525 yen, that's US$4.33. Have fun playing more PSone games on your PS3 or PSP. Someone should definitely tell Sony that shoving PSone games down gamers' throats is not an option. What the heck did they launch the PS3 for, to be kept as porcelain?
