Man, one of the early release titles. I still love playing the game, it plays better than the Arcade version.

Yeah, it's just got a little bit of lag when you get too much going on the screen at one time. Bogs down pretty bad

Konami code always got me through this game i have it for snes and psp

[lukemorse1]

Yeah, Gotta love the fact that Konami did that but you know how you felt when you first got this game and others and you had to buy the nintendo mags in order to get the codes or at least your friends did. those were the days before internet took off for sure.

Never thought Gradius was a very good game the music is what always got me to start it up.

This game is a certified bitch! Even if you use the code for the 30 ships(and its not the "Konami Code") you can still have a difficult time with it.

Also there's some insane code where if you hit x and y a certain number of times you can do a "auto weapon select" on the one screen.

My favorite gag is when you put in the "K Code" the "traditional way" to get all your weapons automatically it blows up your ship. Instead the designers made you use the L and R triggers to do it!

later!

this game was awesome growing up, but strikers 1945 plus & sonic wings 2 is my fav then gunbird & dragonblaze

[mikez2]

Wow looks like a fun game I like 1942 like shooters they are my fave in arcades.

[lukemorse1]

I know what you mean. There are some pretty cool shooters like that. I guess that another one of my favorites is the Sonic Wings/Aero wings series for the Neo.

lol

Yeah, Gradius is my favorite Shoot-em-up ever, and it's with that immense following of the series that I've made a fangame, and am now making a SECOND one, which, believe it or not, mixes both Gradius AND Contra into the same game.

lol, but you still like shooters haha.
