The great granddaddy of the modern shoot-em-up. Combining multiple kinds of power-ups, detailed and varied graphics, and challenging gameplay with memorizable levels, <em>Gradius</em> basically set the conventions for shoot-em-up games that even modern members of the Bullet Hell genre follow today (albeit with many additions.)</p> <p>The older brother to <em><a href="http://ultrace.tumblr.com/post/41532908811/" title="Salamander - Byte Sized">Salamander</a></em>, <em>Gradius</em> has a much less organic, more mechanical and static essence to it, which works well with its gameplay and animation which feel <em>slightly</em> less fluid in this initial incarnation. Later games in the series would improve upon the animation and variety, and my personal favorite, <em>Gradius III</em>, would even let you customize your array of achievable power-ups when you start the game, but they would never have the honor of laying the foundation for literally dozens of other games that followed.</p> <p>The official art for <em>Gradius</em> is a masterpiece that brings together the art style of older game covers such as those seen on the Atari 2600, and the elements of this game not possible on the former—attacks from half a dozen directions at once, boss enemies taking up a large portion of the screen. I made the logo at the top from scratch in Photoshop, although it’s designed to resemble the actual logo which was on the original promo flyers Konami distributed. This golden-orange-brown logo would never again be used, unfortunately; it was replaced with the more familiar (but harsh) blue and black arrangement.</p> </blockquote>http://lovegradius.tumblr.com/post/43990947059http://lovegradius.tumblr.com/post/43990947059Mon, 25 Feb 2013 17:19:36 +0000gradius<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ktIgqukM92g?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://snesology.tumblr.com/post/42609421419/time-for-some-gradius-iii-with-txai-newcomer-to">snesology</a>:</p> <blockquote> <h1><span>Time for some Gradius III with Txai!</span></h1> <p>Newcomer to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SNESology" title="SNESology Facebook!">SNESology</a> <a href="http://9bitrecords.com/releases/9-bit-blitzkrieg/" title="9 Bit Blitzkrieg">(but not to music)</a>, <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/oOTxaiOo?feature=watch" title="Check his YouTube page out!">Txai Viegas</a></strong> has contributed a marvelous <strong>Gradius III</strong> entry.  It’s exciting, incredibly varied, has that token Gradius bass, orch hits, and basically does all the wonderful things that you’d expect a Gradius song to do + more…</p> <p><span>My guess is that if this were a level in the game, it’d be quite precarious and really tough, near the end… You know… THAT one level you have to do over and over and would rage at without an emulator.  The end kinda progresses into what feels more like a credits song… Slow and rewarding of a job well done.  I love some of the Konami references he’s included just for fun, see if you can pick them out!
