This one is even better than the original. I like how the cell boss gets eaten up by the dragon boss. That was a nice touch. The music for this game is awsome.
Salamander was the arcade name of the original, when it was ported on the nes, it was called life force in the U.S. Then they remade the arcade and made it look "more organic" and called it Life Force. This one is the sequel of the original arcade.
@dylstew Its not a spin off Salamander is apart of the Gradius story "Salamander" is the name of the special forces sent by Bacterion. "Life Force" is the monster you are traveling in so Life Force is the spin off of Salamander both Sal series and Gradius series both include Vic Viper and Sal 1 Lord Britsh Sal 2 had VV and Super Cobra.
@alex51508 the US only knows Salamander as Life Force ever since the Arcade and NES ported to the US.
Salamander is the original Japanese name for both arcade and nes in japan Life Force in japan is a spin off of the original story but basicly the same game Life Force in the US is a copy of Salamander but with Gradius power up system that both Life Forces have.
@alex51508 Life force 1 (and 2) are named like like that in the U.S or EUR. The orgional name is Salamander. The arcade version of Lifeforce (i have lifeforce on the nes) Is unlike the one on the NES. On the nes version you can pick wich item to use with powerups, like gradius. The arcade version is like this one, You have to be lucky what enemies drops. Its totaly random everytime! Lifeforce 1 on arcade is inpossible to end. Even with 10000 credits.. such a hard game!
