Very nice, I've enjoyed your Gradius V videos as well.

A few thoughts:

• At the end of level 3 with full options and missiles, selecting double and sitting at the far right edge of the screen will allow you to easily take out the Mother ships (which will come in above and below). Doesn't make for as interesting a replay though.
• Level 5 with lasers = yuck. Those pink blobs don't seem to take much damage from lasers, and double isn't really much better. I actually usually suicide at the end of level 4 on the odd occasion I don't get outranked there; then I can do 5 with the normal shot and cause a lot more damage that way.
• I prefer to switch to Double for the level 6 boss. Set up your options right and you can just take out its shots until it times out for lots of points.
• Level 7 with lasers... I've seen it done before, but I still think it's nuts.

Great show though. I'm just in a nitpicky mood at the moment.

Excellent stuff as always

Level 7 with lasers... I've seen it done before, but I still think it's nuts.

Indeed.. every time I attempt stage 7 with lasers it goes horribly, horribly wrong.

Ya know, I had no idea you could go under /around the electric cage in the last level. I always trap myself inside it and dodge.

I thought that was pretty slick too. Great replay, as always.

Now I need to find a copy of that song from the credit roll. I haven't heard that one before. Nice replay too.
