roadrunner Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I couldn't beat the target high of 30K so I saved a screenshot on my last life.9,860 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 You're getting about as far as I am in this game. Much harder than the first Gradius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) 168800 great choice, whoever selected Gradius II, it's an excellent game as with Goonies, it's baffling that this game had no American release! edit: that was a Gradius 1 score sorry.

S.BAZ Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) CORRECTION. Sorry folks !! I posted my Gradius score, not Gradius II. Correct Gradius II score: 32310 now I see a possible reason for Gradius II not getting a US release - the difficulty! Just like with SMB2. Those Japanese kids I guess had more of a craving for difficulty. Edited October 14, 2013 by S.BAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
