Does Gradius have an end?!?
« on: January 24, 2007, 12:49:28 PM »
I managed to get lucky and warp past level 4, which I could never get past.  I got to what I assume was level five that had those tentacle things and caused major game slowdown.

Then a final level after that.  Is that the final level in the game?  My hand hurts after 20 minutes of play and getting that far

There's the base afterwards and then once you've beaten it you get to do it again.

Doesn't the NES Gradius have 7 levels? It's over when you "fight" the brain (hint: it'll lose a staring contest).

What a crappy final boss.  After two weeks of play, I finally beat the thing.  Sometimes 2D games are just more fun than 3D ones .

I was on the final level, and so damned close to the end, that I crashed through the door before the brain.  I thought you had to blast it away, and I
lost my next to final life and all my power ups.  I then ran through the final end again, and took a chance and moved in before the door closed.  I got lucky
the end boss is no such thing.  At least the game had a minor ending for all that work, however .

Just wait until you fight the big octopus at the end of Parodius! It's easily twice as hard!

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

BECAUSE PARODIUS IS A PARODY OF GRADIUS!

I think Gradius is just Engrish for gladius, a type of sword.
