Gradius 2 - MSX - longplay
5Gradius 2, released as Nemesis 2 outside of Japan, is a sequel to the MSX version of Gradius. The game was made before the similarly-titled arcade sequel Gradius II (otherwise known as Vulcan Venture) and branches off into a separate continuity. Nemesis 2 has been remade twice on the X68000. The first is Nemesis '90 Kai, the official remake made by SPS who also did the Gradius conversion for X68000. Nemesis '90 Kai is a big improvement to the original with updated graphics, music, added bosses and stages, and some minor things. The second is Nemesis '94, an unofficial fan remake. This version is more faithful to the original, with only updated graphics and music. Another remake was also featured in the Salamander Portable compilation for the PSP.
