Gradius 3 Arcade - Crystal Labyrinth (Level 9 [Cube Rush])

[SonicSanctuary]

this place makes fire scramble look like a joke

[METAL1ON]

Best tune anywhere ever.

[SalandreJerenity989]

Reminds me of planet Mobius (Crystal )

[slangman89]

This music and the level itself may look and sound great, but my god,  it also looks bloody hard to beat.

masterpiece



[Steller1980]

One of my favorite tracks, but I hate the level.

[METAL1ON]

The level from hell.

@METAL1ON Hell is a cakewalk compared to this level. Satan cowers in fear of the Omnicube.

[METAL1ON]

@DrJohnCockwalrus Ill agree to that this level was was someting else but level 10 took the piss having played it on mame with a cheat years ago i had a happy realisation that i would not have finished this game. That said i only played it in the arcade, if i had had the game on the ps2 and been able to select levels and pause the game from time to time i might have done better. But back then alls i could do was drop 20 pence into the machine and hope i played well

[DrJohnCockwalrus]

@METAL1ON I would give serious, serious dough to watch someone finish this game in an actual arcade on max difficulty.

I think I'd cream my pants.

@DrJohnCockwalrus That Omnicube is total BS !!! How are we supposed to dodge that ??

[DrJohnCockwalrus]

@Quartrez You're not supposed to dodge it, I don't think. Unless you can somehow block it with other stationary cubes, it kills you whenever the hell it feels like it.

Overall, the Arcade version of this game is more frustrating than it is fun, in my opinion. It's one of those games you simply marvel at. Incredibly well made, but they just went way too far, even by arcade standards.
