Gradius 2 MSX on PS1: Super-hard shmup w/ huge twist I couldn't handle! 8=O -playthrough fail-
0Attempting a playthrough of the MSX game Gradius 2--aka "Nemesis 2" in Europe--(NOT the "Gradius II" from the arcade and everywhere else pretty much, this is a different game!!) in "Konami Antiques MSX Collection Vol.2" for PS1, in the emulator DuckStation in Windows!
My shmup playlist: • smbhax's Shoot-'Em-Up adventures!
0:00 - start
1:23 - intro
5:00 - playing
9:10 - the power-up mini-level
53:44 - meteor & mini-boss bombardments = P
1:47:55 - big twist
This was already teeth-grindingly difficult and after the big twist I didn't have the motivation to continue.
Really nice colors and sprites.
Got an actual eye-ache from the jerky MSX scrolling so I think this is it for me and these MSX scrollers. Next up: smooth-scrolling Gradius games! = D
