#GRADIUS GAIDEN VIC VIPER UPGRADE#
You fight through hordes of aliens, collecting power-ups that allow you to upgrade your ship in a modular fashion, on-the-fly. The Gradius games, if for some reason you are not familiar with them, are a series of rock-hard horizontally-scrolling shooters (not the hardest, by a long shot, but they’re up there) whose claim to fame is a play mechanic that’s been given the name “The Gradius Effect” by both the affectionate and bitter. Well, okay, fine, I’m sure it has something to do with licensing issues, but still. Also absent are Gradius V, since it is, of course, a PS2 game in its own right the fairly primitive Game Boy versions of Gradius/Nemesis, Gradius Galaxies, which was horrible anyway, and the absolutely stellar SNES version of Gradius III, because Konami hates you. Life Force, Salamander or the whacked-out Parodius, you’d do best to look into your traditional retrogaming resources.

Tecmo and Taito have recently joined their ranks.
What better way to hook nostalgic gamers and casual ones, and save money in the process, than by simply releasing emulated versions of code that was completed a decade or more ago? We’ve seen Capcom get into this business numerous times, and Namco and Midway as well. Collection discs seem to be all the rage these days.
