KiiRA
A rather obvious rip of the Gradius series of games, it features an almost-identical combat system, but different levels. It seems to handle sluggishly onthe emulators, and like Kemesis the missile fire button is separate from the primary trigger. Release dates for Garudius '95 (PC-98) database containing game description & game shots, cover art, credits, groups, press, forums, reviews and more. Description At first glance, one would think that Garudius '95 is undoubtedly a part of Konami's venerated Gradius series. Indeed, it is based off of the arcade version of Gradius III, and uses much of the graphics and music from that title. All of the signature weapons, like the laser, ripple, twin shot, and even the options, are present. G-Type is a freeware shooter game created by CnC Darkside for Windows 9x. It is a fusion of R-Type and Gradius with a little Darius thrown in. The year is 2525. It is a time of war.
Garudeus was formed because like a lot of day-to-day commuters and travelers, we were fed up with road traffic delays.
That is why we are building the best first compact single person, electric-gasoline hybrid, and safe personal-air VTOL vehicle: KiiRA.
KiiRA is the world’s first compact reverse trike-hexacopter. Our patent-pending design transforms KiiRA between a sexy personal flyer and a sleek road-worthy car.
With KiiRA, anyone can go anywhere by air or by land. Anytime.

Location: Chicago, IL | I have to chuckle at that last ad calling Gradius II a Gradius clone to beat all Gradius clones. Uh... wuh?
The famicom port does indeed look impressive, as is expected of Konami's home-porting prowess back in the day.
I've also put in a few credits of Sexy Parodius as I've sort of gotten cold on Jikkyo (see above). I used to credit feed it all the time for fun, but going for a 1cc is a whole new experience. This game is brutal starting in stage 2, imo. I've settled on Ivan the Penguin, whose badass army jacket and fierce demeanor were about as influential for a pick as his extremely versatile bounding ricochet shot.
I don't know yet if his Metal Ivan shield substitute is actually a shield or not; it's hard to tell in the visual clutter of the bath house stage.
The farthest I've made it right now is stage 3's boss. A load of bullshit she is with that head spinning attack.
I also have a confession to make with these Parodius games. I'm playing on non-arcade defaults! Let me explain. I've turned off Roulette. It's an awful mechanic and I don't know why it persisted throughout the games. They must have even hated it since you can turn it off in the options. You try playing Sexy's stage 2 SPEED STAGE with a randomly-gained roulette and be fucked out of all your speed and powerups. NO THANKS. It is not a gameplay mechanic... it's an anti-mechanic. _________________

Location: Paranoia | I usually play Sexy on Auto (which doesn't have roulette power-ups) because I find the adaptive difficulty ridiculous on Manual. I haven't yet been able to figure out a way to make the difficulty manageable on Manual when the last couple of stages come around, they get absolutely brutal.
Oh and roulette power-ups in all of the Parodius games aren't actually random. They're always dropped in the same spot by the same enemies. _________________
Of course, that's just an opinion.

Location: Chicago, IL | I find that very interesting! I wonder if there is a guide that lists which enemies drop roulettes. That'd be a 'game changer' for sure. Even in Sexy? There's no indication that the capsules will trigger a roulette at least appearance-wise. If they were green instead of orange... if only.
I used to play on Auto way back when I didn't know how to play gradius-style games (usually as Mambo for his wide coverage). I didn't know or realize it made a difference with rank. I almost don't believe you! _________________

Location: Finland | This thread made me want to go back at Gradius 2 again on my PSX + arcade tank stick, for the sake of all the memories.
I can't believe that I once was able to get onto 2-2. Now I can go pretty much to the gunwall, and then I'm getting slapped. Looking at playthrough videos, everyone uses the safe spot on the bottom right screen just front of the hatch, but I wonder if you can recover from that part. The checkpoint is really heavy.
Another point worth cringing + chuckling is the highscore table, where you put up your age and the player picture will decay as it gets older.. now I've been saving high scores on memory card since 1997, when I was 23, so now my highscore table is filled with entries from age range of 23-46.. seeing my decay on that high score table is kinda eerie

Location: Finland | ..and just when I said how I can't imagine ever playing to 2-2 in Gradius 2, I just did reach 2-2.. first time since nineties I guess.
I had totally forgotten how much fun the second loop is. Real top speed shooting bliss.
I also remember playing Gradius III to death with my Snes back in the day. Finally when I managed to clear the hardest difficulty (which was hidden) the game said: 'I give up. Your application: Technical Monkey'.
Gradius must be the series I love most, or at least the series I get the most nostalgic kicks on.

Second loop was sheer brutality, though

Location: Finland | Congrats, that one's an essential! Lovely pic too! Thanks! And it's the CRT tv magic, old games look so much better on tube telly. With III announced for ACA, how does it differ from the SNES version? I've only played the home version and I love it, slowdown, flicker and all. Arcade version is far more difficult, it has 3rd person perspective flying sections which can result to instant death = lose powerups, and sadistic 'tetris' stage that took ages for me to complete. Snes version on the other hand feels more fair, balanced and polished, and the much-hated flying parts and tetris stage are thankfully omitted, as even the developers regretted putting them in the arcade version.. but it also has hidden difficulty levels for extra challenge. While there are people here who like the challenge of the arcade version, I belong to those who think that the Snes version is far superior.

Now that I think of it, I did have the PSP Gradius collection and it's on there, but it left no particular impression (such that I forgot I'd even played it). I've been thinking of tracking down a Super Famicom anyway, maybe I'll just pick the game up on that.

My friend did rather nice 3D image based on the Gradius cover art (sans some scrambled laser beams), which I shared on the FB Gradius group
