Yep R-gear used the original sprites of R-type (as a tribute it was the goal !) but all other artwork (intro, menu,...) was done by a graphist... (AlienPDX)
So yes, R-Gear is not original (but features weapons and stuff from DingoFr's mind) and its "success" would be in the fact that people can say : THAT'S A COOL AS R-TYPE WAS

So if we can achieve this... We would be really happy

So originality = -10, fun = + 10 ?
