GB Gradius
GB Gradius
I tried out Gradius (Nemesis) for the Game Boy earlier tonite. Man, it's way more fun than I expected! Level 1 is the standard Gradius 1 level 1, but all the others are unique. It's got good control, good collision detection (rare in GB shooters), and decent bosses too. I went and created a high score thread if anyone else wants to try it. Easy, but tons of fun.

Yeah, they're unique and not found in any other Gradius games. Well, the Moai head level could easily be mistaken for the Moai level from many other Gradius 1 incarnations, but it's not the same. As far as I know none of these levels are used in any other Gradius games, nor are the bosses after the first one.
Edited again: my answer sounded awfully haughty, which I didn't mean to do. Sorry if I sounded like an ass... I really didn't mean to.

OK, now I remember, it has a subtitle like Interstellar Assault. I remember looking for that one for a while with no luck. Maybe it wasn't released in the States or perhaps it just didn't sell that well because copies are in short supply.
Wow, if it's even better than Nemesis, I will have to track it down!

Yeah, that's the name...Gradius Interstellar Assault. From what I've seen, it's quite common. I see copies of it pretty much everywhere I go that sells used GB games.professor ganson wrote:OK, now I remember, it has a subtitle like Interstellar Assault.

The GB Nemesis rocks. I personally liked it better than Interstellar Assault (which is the US title BTW. It's called Nemesis II: Return of the Hero outside the US). I wish I never traded in Gradius: The Interstellar Assault(victim of similar game syndrome. Tried too hard to compare games and failed to realize both games are great).
