That feeling you get when you have all your weapon upgrades and then you die, to start out again with only your peeshooter, but not willing to give up. Love it.
Also, I really like how in the intro, your friends get shot down and you're the one with your tail between your legs... ...but then at the end of the game you see the trashed ships all over the place that look like your friends.. "Oh yeah I remember that! Then I got chased away like a pus-...wait a minute!!! WHO'S GOT THEIR TAIL BETWEEN THEIR LEGS NOW??"
It basically lets you play through the first four stages of the game, but not in sequential order. If you pick one and beat it, game over. stage 4 goes from arrival on the planet to the big wall still on the surface.
I have got this game on a 4 game compilation pack.I have been playing it recently while I was away on holiday and for some reason I just could not get past the second level boss.That force field keeps on blowing my ship up especially when it drags the ship forwards.I press the opposite button when it drags me forward and I still get destroyed.Looked as though your ship hit the forcefield at 3:25 and yet you survived!!
Im not sure, but that thing that chases you in the beggining(astreiod part), that thing looks very fimaliar to the thing that captures you in the second level, only turned.
Strangely enough, I always thought this one was the hardest for me.....oh well. I guess i'm so used to playing the super hard ones (Gradius III Arcade.....FUUUUUUUUUU)......that i'm not used to playing the easy ones that turn out to be hard for me XD
wow, i liked the first nemesis, but this is AWESOME!!! how could i miss that?? the case in the beginning is impressive even today imo! gotta find a gameboy emulator now.... xD
I loved this game. I thought the difficulty was spot on. hard enough to die (and dying meant losing all the power-ups), but still beatable... which this was the only side-scroller shooter I ever beat. The boss battles were memorable, the cut-scenes and level introductions were awesome... just so cool.
Something a little bigger than what it had would be nice. I mean, you fight that huge thing, then go fight that smaller one. How more underwhelming could it have gotten?
I like how you did the editing, so that it shows a synopsis of every cutscene in the game. It's like watching an abridged play-through.

Today, I wonder if that last ship was Venom's ship, considering that the game is called NEMESIS II...

Yeah I remember that. Playing that part was good, with my ship being all powerful and the final boss running like a pussy.

Sorry to double comment, but if you pause at 7:39, you can see a Moai-like face during the explosion of the "alien ship".
BTW, I was also pretty impressed by the final boss... he DID something!

Wow! Those cutscenes are impressive... for a 8-bit videogame. Shoot'em up games like Gradius need more epic cutscenes.
