What difficulty would you consider the original non-ported arcade version to be? 'Cause I see no difficulty select.

Just realized the PC Engine thread exists. Sorry.

Gradius 1 - NES
winteR - 962,000 - 2-7
Probably would have made it to third loop, if I realized that getting double for stage-7 was better than laser. Of course lost all lives after the first on the same checkpoint.

Gradius (Arcade/MAME)
Perikles - 1,015,300 - 3-2
Holy mackerel, that was grand! Did not expect anything like that to occur so soon. The best thing about it is that I happened to record this run. It can be found here (second entry from the top, I don't know how to directly link to it and I'm tired as all hell). I'd be very grateful if someone could tell me if this input works, I've never recorded anything before (Japanese Gradius, ShmupMAME 4.2). Ignore that terrible play at 1-7, I don't know what exactly happened there.

Wow, my score is pathetic; still I will add it to much better company. I wonder where people are getting the extra 100K from. Not dying?

Gradius II - Arcade:
Perikles - 1,004,000 - 2-4 - 4 - F - MAME
Work in progress. I still want to 2-ALL this game, but 2-4 is a real hassle. I'm also tired of milking the boss parade for points, but I'm pretty sure I could get an even higher score than saucykobold if I were able to make it to 3-4. Probably not going to happen any time soon, though. But since my Famicom finally works I'll try to get the top spot for the NES/Famicom Gradius, that should be fun.

Holy shit nice run! Looks like you are on a serious Gradius beatdown these days
Re: Gradius + Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou - Now with FC goodn
Thank you very much for your kind words, it means a lot to me since it's coming from our resident Gradius expert. I'm indeed revisiting a few Konami and Irem titles, this time trying to beat multiple loops. Hopefully I'll get a R-Type 2-ALL and a Gradius II 2-ALL in the foreseeable future, that'd be great.
Re: Gradius + Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou - Now with FC goodn
Gradius II - Famicom
Perikles - 9,999,990 - 7-ALL - 1
What a snoozefest. I couldn't spot any differences on higher loops besides the spread of suicide bullets when you destroy Covered Core's little barriers (such an odd thing to add). The worst thing is Club: he will arbitrarily give you anything from 100,000 to 700,000 points (it seems to be dependent on which weapon you use to kill him, but it's still somewhat random) which is absolutely ludicrous considering that you're going to get about 200,000 points during the rest of the game if you don't die. I let the game play itself for a few hours against the moai boss (brought me about 4 million points) before I finally finished it. Lost a lot of lives everywhere from loop 4 onwards due to boredom and fatigue, but it's perfectly possible to recover from every checkpoint in the game, even the moai stage and the final stages aren't all that taxing. Next post is going to be about something worthwhile again!

Are scores performed on the PS4 "arcade archives" digital download of Gradius able to be submitted to the scoreboard here?

I'll add the video here for completeness sake, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUOl06XirA4
Well, I did work on it for a few weeks and I "despondently" experimented on the loop a while back, even, so it's not all that fast. I had a little off-time before I spammed a few runs every day, though, your excellent Raiden run (I even created my own savestates to practice the special stage! Thanks to your great strategy I'm now able to get past the bases, but everything from the tank section onwards still murders me without remorse) invigorated my spirits.pegboy wrote:Damn, that was quick!

I improved my score by no-missing Gradius!
Gradius I (AC):

That second loop though. What a bitch. I can believe I lost to a Big Core... so shameful

Gradius 1 AC
KoopaTGR - 362,600 - 1-7 - MAME
A random credit that got close to the end.
Just have to work out how to get past F KING stage 2, the F KING Moais, and the F KING random enemies in stage 4 without stupidly dying.
Long story short this game is a little frustrating.

Shepardus - 376,100 - 1-7 - MAMEPlus 0.160
This run from a couple days ago didn't clear the first loop, but it's higher-scoring than my 1-ALL because it was a no-miss up to stage 7 so I had the firepower to destroy a lot more stuff in stages 3, 4, and 5.
