Gradius ArchiMENdes is a special edition given as a contest prize. Pills in the game are replaced with bowls of ramen noodles.Gradius is one or two steps beyond every other Famicom/NES shooting game released at its time. The game ends the time where shooting games would loop endlessly. Gradius features several very different designed levels with great graphics and music as well as a clever extra-weapon upgrade system and good playability.*Across the galaxy, there exists a distant planet known as Gradius.

Gradius III	Konami	1989	The gentle Gradians thought they were cured of Bacterion's contemptible curse after generations of germ-free living. Guess again. That wretched fiend is once again wreaking havoc on Gradius and the surrounding planets. It's your destiny to put an end to it. Unless maybe you think life as an amoeba would be pleasant! You play a key role in engineering your MAX. starship's battle gear and arsenal. You'll use masterful marksmanship and strategy to engage the right weapon at the right time, like spread bombs, ripple lasers, photon torpedoes, mega crush and much more. Do so and you'll gallantly conquer the galactic gargoyles and obstacles in ten Terror Zones, such as the Dunes of Doom, Bacterion's Garden, and The Greased Lightning Round. Just when you think you've made it through each of the Zones, you'll be greeted by a hideous Mayor who will try to see that his Zone is your last. Choose from three difficulty levels to see just how keen your alien zapping skills are. Throughout your journey, you will be engulfed in magnificent stereo sound and stunning visual effects that will dazzle your senses. In the final forum, you'll have to be as tough as Orakian ore to confront Bacterion and disintegrate its hailstone of a heart. If you do, all that is good in the universe will breathe a sigh of relief. And if you don't, you'll hear the echo of a solitary clap and the final Dark Curtain will fall.*** [62]	Arcade

Blast through 10 action-packed levels in space, destroying everything in your path. Customize and power up your ship with weapons and upgrades including speed-ups, missiles, lasers, options, and shields.*Konami's first Super Famicom experiment - and what a game it turned out to be! A loose conversion of the frustrating coin - op, Gradius 3 manages to squeeze in all the levels of the arcade game together with exquisite graphics and thumping sound and compress the whole lot onto a minuscule 4 Megabit cartridge (that 512k folks!) Unfortunately, Gradius 3's main flaw is dreadful sprite slowdown and (to a lesser extent) flicker. Konami's programmers blamed the games lack of finesse on the systems feeble processor (the wholly inadequate 3.58 Mhz 65sc816 - basically a compatible hybrid of the old Rockwell 6502 inherent in the NES), however I suspect unfamiliarity with the new console's hardware combined with established programming techniques were more to blame. That said, I love this game and would much prefer to play it than the slowdown free conversion of SNES Parodius (serious shooters rule.) If you can find it, buy it. [Andy Laggan]	SNES
