Rob's 91-95 arcade countdown: hidden gem search.
Also, another reason why the pod differences are percievably imbalanced:
If you use Fixed pods, the bullets will go faster the longer you keep them.
If you use Smart pods, more bullets will be thrown at you the longer you keep them. Most people can handle this version of the rank than the other kind, so they think this is better.

Seems like a fair trade-off, but I'll have to try the smart pods some more. It gets very fast with the fixed pods.If you use Fixed pods, the bullets will go faster the longer you keep them.

also, I would like to dedicate a tune to Rob, for coming through like a trooper w/this thread.
The design decision is hilarious if you understand it, but enemies fire in the same angles enough most of the time as well, which makes the smart pods much better in parts.

I think you missed one.
I'm pretty sure it says '95 on the title screen, but it's kind of hard to tell.

Favorite Varth tactic: accidentally pick up pod, trog along game until max power star appears, suicide, then pick up max power star.

The top 3 are redeeming choices after Turbo Force (everything that's wrong with Sonic Wings multiplied by 10 and boredom.)
The smart pods in Varth seem worse because it puts part of the control out of your hands. At least you'll know where the fixed pods are going to be.

Nonsense. I play Gradius Collection on it since days and it´s wonderful. It´s a PSP S&L though, which has a very smooth d-pad (unlike what I heard about the original PSP).professor ganson wrote:Answer: Definitely not.
