Gradius Deluxe Pack Platform: Playstation 1 Region: Japan Media: Disc Controller: Standard Control Pad Genre: Arcade - Shooter - Vertical Gametype: Licensed Release Year: 1996 Developer: Konami Co. Publisher: Konami Co. Players: 1 or 2 Alternating _________________________ This pack contains both the arcade classics Gradius I and II, ported to Windows 95, Sony Playstation and Sega Saturn. Story: the Bacterians are attacking the planet Gradius, and in a state-of-the-art fighter ship you have to stop them. Both games have similar gameplay and graphics, with only different music and level layout setting them apart. Each of these side-scrolling shooters has over a dozen levels each, all of which are completely unique. There are no enemy types that are re-used from level to level (except for the boss who is the same in every level). You can collect powerups that provide things like extra speed, laser shots, target-seeking missiles, shields, etc. While there have been many small modernising touches made to the games, there is still no ability to save. Be prepared to set aside a considerable amount of time to finish in one go. http://www.mobygames.com/game/playstation/gradius-deluxe-pack
