Description
Horizontal scrolling shoot'em up. The inferior NES hardware port of the original konami arcade game Gradius.
This is really strange, first Konami releases a fine arcade game with state of the art hardware, then Nintendo comes along and puts an inferior NES console conversion inside an arcade machine displaying an insert coin message... I have a hard time understanding why would someone choose the inferior VS. system with the NES hardware over the REAL arcade game.
